Thanksgiving Day, a wonderful feast. The line is short but tall. Taller than last year and shorter than the year before as most have moved away. Too far away to come home for Thanksgiving. Joy writes the moments. A special brush gently loaded barely touching. Watch where the colors go. Children and entertainment provide structure, […]

I was so determined that I had something to write and then it was gone. Just like that it turned out to be nothing. Yet the feeling I have about it is definitely something. The lady’s great sense of humor thrilled me. We chatted and laughed together, wishing each other the best of Thanksgivings as

Photo by Frank Zhang on Unsplash I sit at the table late morning eating a bowl of cereal. I like the view. It feels good to be in the dining room. The kitchen is ready for the day having been cleaned up last night by my husband. I had wandered into it after dinner and asked for

Today I corrected that and listed it. It is a great coloring book with 98 pages of coloring and activities. Each page carefully drawn and inked

It seemed like a good idea at the time. I was whisked away to the campground, just as I was beginning to see things shape up here in the studio. Too hot to camp. Too hot means that I’m staying in a very small space just so that I can breathe. I’m in the camper

Last week we had a day when it wasn’t too hot nor too wet. Chloe and I had a plan to go to an event at the library. Now the library here has several branches as do many larger towns and we mistakenly went to the wrong one. We asked and were directed to another
