MY AFTERNOON

I am at one with the rain…such an experience…I’ve never had until this moment. New to be able to come out onto my deck and sit in the rain, under this large umbrella, And listen to the owl hoot and birds sing as they cling to wet tree limbs...and type. See the drops hit the water in the cove just as... Sign in to see full entry.

More Growing Up Me, Chapter 2

After I was born, my father’s first teaching assignment was in Lake Arthur, New Mexico…they lived in an old, one-room railroad shack….Mama had to literally clean the white sand out with a shovel….and it had a shed ceiling so that my tall daddy couldn’t stand up straight on one side. The black and... Sign in to see full entry.

Growing Up Me, Chapter 1

My mother was the child of an inventor and a teacher….he died when she was six. He was stringing an antenna for a ham radio in a tree in their backyard and somehow…I’m not clear on the details…electrocuted himself to death, his body being jolted into a field beyond the tree. He had come home early... Sign in to see full entry.

My Temper

As I write this right now, the rain is coming down so thick that the air looks gray and like something alive out my window…it is pure energy, exciting. I hear it hitting something metal up there on the roof and I love that sound. I turned off the music so I can hear the drumbeats going on all around... Sign in to see full entry.

Night of Silk, Porch Dream

I’m sitting on my porch, listening to Norah Jones…her voice is like liquid honey that pours over my body while the soft light from a lamp on the bar shines in the still of the night. The fountain is the only other sound at 1am as I wait for my mind to clear before going off to bed. Bliss and Charm... Sign in to see full entry.

Impulsive Swim

Well, that was completely wonderful….I just did the thing that is one of the perks of living here at the lake. I was ready for bed, completely planned on going there…told Passion and Offbeat goodnight. I had turned off the a/c in the house yesterday because I’ve been enjoying my newly decorated...

TOPEKA TRAGEDY

He was driving a truck route for a company that stocked vending machines; it wasn't even his regular route, he normally never left Topeka. His boss had offered him a nice bonus to take over for a guy on vacation just the rest of that week and drive over to Kansas City, Ks. There were only a few... Sign in to see full entry.

The Rookie - Movie and Real Life

I just finished watching the movie, “The Rookie”, and I loved it. I love movies, especially those based on true stories, that make me break out in goose bumps and tears with their inspirational, feel good and uplifting message. I also happen to be a huge Dennis Quaid fan…but that is a different... Sign in to see full entry.

Screened Porch Ramblings

I’m watching “Iron Chef”…the show just cracks me up…if you’ve never watched it, you owe it to yourself to catch it at least once..the founding guy is the best - spent his fortune to build the stadium…I mean, talk about a character!!! The American version is okay..but just not the same. If you love... Sign in to see full entry.

Bach and Rain for the Grass

I am listening to Bach…just came in from sitting on my screened in porch for a solid hour of listening to the most wonderful downpour….rain. When I arrived last Thursday, it was to find my entire yard completely dead. When you live on a lake, that is an especially depressing sight…the contrast is... Sign in to see full entry.
