*** It’s here!!! *** A month ago, I wrote a blog post that detailed my reason for writing. Why do I write? But why did I write this story? First, I have to say, it is a novel. It is a work […]

Thanksgiving Memory
“Are you ready?” He smiled at me as I climbed in and he shut the door. “Uh-huh!” I glanced at him so that he wouldn’t see the terror in my eyes. Calm down! He’s not taking you to jail. And he pulled the patrol car out of the driveway. “I’m probably not going to write any […]
The thinnest part of the blue line
Not being one to take things at face value, I looked up the “thin blue line.” Generally accepted as a symbol used to show solidarity with law enforcement, there is a fair amount of controversy associated with the symbol. Controversy? Related to law enforcement? Perhaps the most current controversy involving law enforcement is whether they […]
WHAT?
Telephone. Remember that game? Everyone sits in a circle.The beginning of all riveting games. One person whispers something into the ear of another person and it travels the circle.

The tantrum thrower, lying on the vinyl flooring, arms waving and feet kicking. Unintelligible shrieks and sobbing noises come from the flailing body. We pretend not to […]
P is for partially blind
An outing to the zoo the other day warranted the taking of many pictures. My girls quickly took control of all picture taking devices and began to document our adventure. The above photo is one from that day. Can you tell what it is? Yeah, me neither. After close inspection, I have made out some […]
PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Panic. Temper. Strain. Depression. Several years ago, I had no idea how four letters could turn someone’s life upside down. Today is my wedding anniversary. Thirteen years ago I married an amazing man. I envisioned having beautiful children and a beautiful life. For many years that is exactly what we had […]
L.E.G.S.
Marriage is like a horse. The potential strength and power of the relationship are dependent on limbs that are easily damaged. In my last blog, I posed a challenge. What names would you give the four supports of marriage? In presenting that question, I gave myself a great deal to think about. How […]
