What On Earth Is It?

No, it's not a miniature spaceship sitting beside my computer, but it definitely is from the past. No you can't drive it across the desk...It has no wheels. Son #1 brought this out of his room to show me. He is very busy, seriously cranking his no-battery-needed, hand-cranked flashlight that his dad... Sign in to see full entry.

Do You Think God Saw Me?

Years ago, my sisters and I got into this idea of getting together now and then, and doing a strange kind of artwork for the fun of it as we were together. We would bring piles of old magazines and cut out colorful pictures that caught our attention and then glue our cutouts together to make a... Sign in to see full entry.

Something One Never Forgets

My mother knew that somewhere, very near by, there would be a tornado that day. She called them cyclones. She had been through several in which damage had been done and she was afraid. She stood in the backyard looking, listening, waiting, even though supper was all prepared and getting cold. There... Sign in to see full entry.

Leave Well Enough Alone - Post 8

Beginning of story here: Go to Repost From The Past--Don't Read If You Already Read It....Old houses have old plumbing. Roofing tiles age and must be replaced.

Leave Well Enough Alone - Post 6

Beginning of story here: Go to Repost From The Past--Don't Read If You Already Read It...Years passed. The old house had a quality about it of a cross between happy living and old mystery.

Beginning of story here: Go to Repost From The Past--Don't Read If You Already Read It....The room was doubled in size and large windows let in the sunshine and the breezes.
