FAMILY FRIDAY
It was a warm rainy morning as I sat reading a few pages in Catching Fireflies. Although the book is a great read, I found myself reading the same page over more than once. My mind preoccupied on the good news and the sad news I had learned on Thursday afternoon. I have always believedContinue reading “FAMILY FRIDAY”
WONDERFUL WEDNESDAY
On Monday, I wrote a short story titled, Messy Cookie Monday. My story was about a disastrous day making and baking cookies.

I traveled down Memory Lane quite a few times today. As I was writing my Christmas cards, my mind meandered back to Ayers Road in Forks Township where I grew up. It was a great place, a small farm with ducks, chickens, rabbits, pigs, a beagle and lots of cats and kittens. Christmas was myContinue reading “TIMELESS MEMORIES TUESDAY”
