I know, excuses, excuses.We now live 200 miles south of our previous address, and the unpacking and searching for … Continue reading Moving and Back to Writing
Meet Chester
Meet Chester, my first snowman. While on vacation in Arkansas, it snowed a good four inches, and my sister-in-law Karry and I had a blast building Chester. He is sporting my scarf and my mom’s black hat. Having never built a snowman, it surprised me how much work it turned out to be. Lots of … Continue reading Meet Chester
Music Fundamentals update
December 20, 2021, sees the end of the music fundamentals class in Haiti via Go-to-meeting. Though technical difficulties fraught to dissuade us; once rooted out, the joy of teaching music prevailed.

Sleeping in with Sofie
A crash and subsequent rumblings startled me out of a deep sleep about 5:30 yesterday morning. My husband, already up and awaiting his first cup of coffee, stood in the kitchen, unaware of the commotion behind our bedroom walls. I related what I had heard, and he immediately went into action.

I've been having a blast writing poetry nearly every day since before National Poetry Month (April.) New forms of poetry are a fascination and … Continue reading Composing
