The Way It Was When Love Was New
The Way It Was With dancing eyes and eager lips, with melting heart and hesitant desires, she watched him walk across the room, and pass those by whose beauty transformed into the aura of waiting vultures ready to pounce. While she, sheltered in the shadows, like a sparrow shy with broken wing, not... Sign in to see full entry.

When Did You Go Away?
In the midst of shredding old papers that have lain about on dusty shelves for far too long, I ran into a little pile of poems that I wrote about twenty years ago. They were all pretty much about the same subject--trying to figure out why the thirty-year love of my husband and I had grown cold and... Sign in to see full entry.

I Just Can't Help Myself
I have to share this with you because I have laughed myself silly, and it feels so good to laugh that way. // Post by Jacob Davis. (click on "Post") No, what you see if you click on above Post is not from the past. But it sure makes me have fun remembering what, for me, was a hilarious and fun time... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Name
I wonder what it will be. Surely I will like it better than I liked the Betty Rose that my Grandma Jelinek gave to me the day she helped Old Doc St Clair deliver me in that little two-room house on the outskirts of Liberty, MO after the long, poor years when The Great Depression was over. That was... Sign in to see full entry.

Lost In The Past
My sons love to be lost in the remembrance of good times past. Whether it is past Halloweens or Thanksgivings or Christmases, or vacations, or grade school events, or summer activities, or playing in the snow, or chocolate-chip snickerdoodles, or onion-soup popcorn....whatever. They like... Sign in to see full entry.

I Came Back
I got lost in Mother Earth News. Ciel suggested that I go there, and I did, knowing that I would not come out again for hours and hours. It was like going back home when you can't go back home again. My life has been one long bit of pioneering and I just love my life...from first remembrance until... Sign in to see full entry.

In 1945, in New York City, Stuart Little (a talking rodent) was born to human parents. Surviving living in a family which included a large cat, and adventures in Central Park, he went on to make a film in 1999 which combined live-action with computer animation. Then, I lost contact with him. Today,... Sign in to see full entry.

The Littles - Book 2
For Great-Grandbaby Marianna The little girl did not know that she was poor. Her mama and daddy never told her she was poor. Her two big sisters never told her she was poor. Her little sisters and little brother did not know they were poor. They all lived in a little house together. The potty was... Sign in to see full entry.

When I Was Twenty-Five
Twenty-five I was when The CHIEFS became a part of Kansas City. That happens to be fifty-one years ago. I feel as if it has been my whole adult life that I have been rooting for them, often disappointed by them, but always giving them the benefit of the doubt that next year would be better. Famous...
