Possibilities Unwritten

Posted on May 9, 2018 by

Ridiculousness Achieved

Posted on April 14, 2018 by

I am not a whiner about winter, but c’mon.  It’s April 14th.  I woke up to bird sounds when I looked to see if they had delivered the newspaper or not.  Birds were singing.  I took that as a pretty … Continue reading →

A Little Mischief

Posted on March 15, 2018 by

Indulging

Posted on August 20, 2017 by

Yesterday’s Perfect Moment was a bit of indulgence. After a morning of doctor appointments which only yielded further appointments, and a fruitless search at the library for something to read, I was ready for indulgence. I shouldn’t whine too much. … Continue reading →

Rebuilding Aurora

Posted on May 21, 2017 by

I wish they had put a hole in the boards and not made me take this picture from the side through a chain-link fence.  Oh well.  There is still that little boy in me who can stop and look at … Continue reading →
