Sometimes Monday | 9.19.22

Things I Learned This Week | 9.16.22

This week was a good week for learning... at least for me...and I thought I'd share what I learned with you all! Thing One: Pita success happened. Or at least I found a very tasty and easy recipe. And while some of my pita's puffed up, not all of them did - or at...

A Gathering of Poetry | September 2022

Poetry is a constant in my day... it is the thing I start my day with - reading a poem or two. And my favorite month of all is Poetry Month which happens every year in April. But one month with a focus on poetry is just not enough and even though occasionally a poem...

Weekending | 9.12.22

Museum of Me | September 2022

Museum of Me | September 2022

Full: Beginning Again | August 2022

Full: Beginning Again | August 2022

A Friday Catchall | 8.26.22

This week has felt very disordered to me... a not very weekend weekend, a missing day on Monday, and then trying to catch up with what day it is... I am really glad that the week is over! But before I close the curtain on this week, I have a few things to share! First...

Hey, Mr. Postman | 8.19.22

Today I have a stack of letters that I need to get in the post... buckle up! Dear Citizens Bank Mortgage Department, I realize that your goal is that people who have a mortgage would never pay it off and make all payments on time...and refinance frequently. However,...

Sometimes Monday | 8.15.22

is for emptying out my brain... Occasionally I have so much clutter just rattling around my head, I just need to dump it all out. Clean the slate, as it were. This is one of those Mondays! I am wondering how there can be so many mosquitoes outside right now. It has...

August Riffing | 8.12.22

August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time. ― Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath We finally got some rain this week and that rain ushered in some cooler weather as well. Ahhh! A break in the heat and...

Sometimes Monday | 8.8.22

Is for catching up and contemplation... and I am hoping that my catching up will be easy. I need to wash kitchen floors and clean bathrooms and, if the rain holds off, give Sherman a bath. (Hint... wet dog on wet day is not a good combination... ever, lol) Some of my...
