Recently, it dawned on me that something was amiss.  Not able to put my finger on it and pushing it to the other side of my brain, I shrugged my shoulders knowing like all lost memories before it, it too will pop back up. While brushing my teeth the other day it hit me.  I… Continue reading Lipstick in the Home

Undeniably one of the funniest guys I knew. Never to be taken all that serious Calculating with your practical jokes Leaving little chance of getting caught Endearing as the older brother I never had.

I added another post to Free Write Friday. I really enjoy writing these! I have been using my "seeds" from the tin can and it will be a sad day when it is empty. Happy Reading.

I just put something I thought was fun on my Free Write Friday. I was shocked to see I haven't posted on that for some time. I have been busy writing for a few other ventures and of course Claire & Lizzie...Thanks Molly and Mom, my two biggest fans, for you comments. I am a… Continue reading Take a Look…

This was a little thing I worked on on our last Draft & Craft for the season. So sad. This is a really great group of people and I have enjoyed the last eight months writing with them. When I Was Fifty When I was fifty….I wanted to look like I did when I was… Continue reading When I was Fifty
