Flower of the Day Challenge, December 9, 2018
I loved this lone bloom. It seemed to be holding on to the very last. Sometimes, that's what we feel like when troubles come. With faith, we persevere unto our change comes. Holding On! Posted for the Flower of the Day Challenge from Cee's Photography.
A Train Ride Home: Friday Fictioneers
I sat listening to the sound of the train as it moved down the tracks, taking me closer to the place that I swore to never return. The clickety-clack of the train sends me into a trance, as I think back to the last time I was on a train, escaping from a place I... Continue Reading →
Saturday Mix: Opposing Forces
Traveling across water, it seems to me to separate the world into different peoples. But when I touch down on land, I am amazed at the smiles that so often greet me.

Jazz and Christmas Music: It Was Swinging!
Last night I went to Symphony Hall in Nashville for the first time since moving nearby.

I Hate Cleaning the Fridge
Of all of the chores needed constantly doing in our house, cleaning the refrigerator has to be the one I absolutely hate to do. Neither Douglas or me want to do it, and it seems we keep put it off hoping that the other one will decide to do it first. Probably the refrigerator cleaner's... Continue Reading →
Sharing Means I See You: Tale Weaver #200
My sister and I spent part of our childhood sharing a home with my mother's youngest sister and her three children. When my aunt would give candy or juice to her children, she would not share any with us. It was as if she did not see us or we had somehow became invisible in... Continue Reading →
