Unfolding My World

"And I close my eyes and watch my world unfold before me" - I don't remember what song done by Juice Newton that is from, and I'm really not 100% sure it is by Juice Newton - and I'm not going to go check...I'm too lazy and that's not the point. Those words struck a chord, like words so often do,... Sign in to see full entry.

Ambience 101

It’s 3:22am where I am and I can’t sleep. I wrote a post earlier in another blog about my day at B&N, during which I bought a bunch of cd’s and one of them…Moby’s “Hotel” is playing now….well, it’s a 2disc cd and the one called “Ambience” is playing. Both discs are wonderful, but this one may become... Sign in to see full entry.

Civil War Letter

I went to a family reunion recently, eating lunch in the log cabin my great-great-grandfather built in 1854 when he settled in Texas. I sat there at a table and looked at the fireplace my great-great-grandmother warmed her hands in front of....and stared at the logs her husband cut and put in place... Sign in to see full entry.

Answering Akinya's Challenge

Akinya wrote a song letter for me and challenged me to wrote one, too....so here's my attempt. I'm not doing it exactly the same. Mine is a letter to the old boyfriend I write about in another blog, set to the music of one of my favorite groups ever, and my favorite state, Texas. Dear Donny, Well,... Sign in to see full entry.

Rudy and the Sawed-off Shotgun

Sittin' at a red light in downtown Houston....Mike, my first husband, is driving.....I'm in the middle......Rudy, his psychotic (I am to realize in just one second) roommate....is to my right. It is summer, we have the windows down and it's a weekend night so the traffic is fairly heavy. Mike is... Sign in to see full entry.

Chokin' on Green Smog - Help!

Well, I'm back in my alternate reality.....regular house in the suburbs, sidewalks and traffic out my window instead of deer and the lake.....and a husband. I've been here four days now and mostly I've slept and sat here at the computer. It's been raining pretty much constantly so that's been one... Sign in to see full entry.

I Wonder Why I Write Smut?

My best friend recently discovered, via a confession and an example, that I have been writing smut. I’m only calling it that because I like to cut to the chase and those who would be most offended, shocked, disgusted, whatever by the most explicit of what I post in the Mature Audience section would...

Moonlight Legacy

Last summer my granddaughter came to spend her first week alone with me, and it was her first week away from her parents and little sister. We both planned it for weeks in advance and I only hoped that I could live up to the excitement she had built up around what was really, in its own way, a sort... Sign in to see full entry.

Swimming With Turtles

It was such a nice night after such a hot, hot day…it’s going to be a hellacious summer, I just know it is. I plugged in my iPod, grabbed a big beach towel, my drink, and went down to the boat dock. The moon was almost, if not completely full. A large cloud cover behind it created one of those... Sign in to see full entry.

Bacon and Eggs (Background Music by iPod)

It’s Saturday evening at the lake, the last one I’ll have here for several weeks. I decided to treat myself and fix a bacon and egg breakfast. Breakfast if my favorite meal and I haven’t eaten today so I’m having it now. I rarely actually cook meals; in fact, I’m not much of a cook, being more of a... Sign in to see full entry.
