So glad to see March. Thank you, Mother Nature! Trees are blooming, bulbs are bursting, and cool mornings turn into warm afternoons. However, even that ever-present strong woman is flawed. Mother Nature has to taint her beauty with all that ugly yellow-green pollen causing us allergy-prone people to sneeze, blow and wheeze. Fictional characters, likeContinue reading “Strong yet Flawed and Fabulous”

The Latitude of Gratitude
Hi, y’all! Are you enjoying the colder weather where you are? Well, we’ve got it, like it or not, down here in Georgia. This month’s theme is obvious. Just like everyone else, we go to gratitude this time of year. However, I thought I’d stretch it a bit. Here is one definition of latitude: TheContinue reading “The Latitude of Gratitude”

To Maintain & Sustain
Do we maintain and sustain the ones we love? Or the pieces of history in our memories? Both are to be cherished.
Do Unto Others…
Hey everyone! Hope you are staying cool during these August days of summer. Don’t know about your parents, but mine drilled The Golden Rule into my head from the time I could read. They reminded me of the biblical text whenever I acted selfishly or was jealous or you name it. Hence, I felt likeContinue reading “Do Unto Others…”
A Row of Ducks & Katherine Nichols
Hope everyone is well and happy! It’s hot here in Georgia. How hot is it? Well, one way of putting it might be – “it’s hotter than blue blazes,” or “You could fry an on that asphalt.” Pretty stinkin’ hot!! So glad my writing keeps me in the AC! This month, I want to continueContinue reading “A Row of Ducks & Katherine Nichols”
Finding Our Feathers
Don’t you just love this time of year? To see and smell the beauty around us. April is my favorite month. Well, of course—it’s my birthday month! Yes, the pollen seems never-ending especially down south where I live. However, somehow we southerners manage to survive because of the splendor in the trees and bushes aroundContinue reading “Finding Our Feathers”
BLAST OFF!
JANUARY 17, 2022 So, how’s the weather at your house? Ah, cold enough for you? Brrrrrrr. At my house, down here in the south, snow fell on us. We do get a bit of the white stuff every now and then. The schools close because the counties won’t let buses try and maneuver on theContinue reading “BLAST OFF!”
What a Character!
Hi there! How’s your Autumn going? Mine is great and busy–a lot of sitting in front of my laptop. Right now, during this month of Gratitude, I’m so thankful for my family’s health in this time of strange viruses. I hope and pray your family is healthy. I’m also thankful for the new piano studentsContinue reading “What a Character!”
SIMMERED FOR FLAVOR
Thanks for sticking with me through this long, hot summer. In June, I underwent a hip replacement, which put me out of commission for a while. I’m doing well and back on track with the publication of my book, RELATIVE CONSEQUENCES. Now that I’m ambulatory, as they say, I’m actually cooking again. My poor husbandContinue reading “SIMMERED FOR FLAVOR”
