Christmas threads

“Ma’am, may I ask you a question?”  The persistent young lady clutching a tube of sea salt, something or other, actually matched my steps for a few seconds as I hurried past the mid-mall vendor.  After my “no thank you” didn’t faze her tenacity, I tried “No thank, you I’m not interested” in a more […]

Grateful always

The sun will soon rise, on this Thanksgiving Day I’m up with my coffee, to read and to pray The oven is buzzing, time to take out the yams Next on my list, replace them with the ham Ham is now cooking, time to start fudge On Mom’s recipe card, an old chocolate smudge This […]
