I found a tiny plastic Dora underneath my couch today This conjured up a memory of our Ayda here at play Snow White, Belle and Ariel conversing in the castle Little green marines surround it, keeping enemies at bay Lincoln logs and tinker toys, crayons and coloring books Some of the toys they left here, […]

I am thankful for my home here in the dear old USA I’m also grateful for the sacrifices and lives that had to pay For this thing called independence, in a land where we are free Although we’re wrought with troubles, there’s no place I’d rather be As we gather with our loved ones to […]

You cannot be a morning person AND a night owl. You are either one or the other and the sooner you find out which it is and embrace it, the happier you will be! When I was a child, I tried desperately to hang out with the night owls. Although I must admit, this was […]

I thought I would share my pictures of the “supermoon” from my view in Southwest FL. I am not in possession of a lot of high dollar equipment; took these with my daughter’s Canon DSLR with a zoom lens attached. It was fun to capture these and quite simple. Hope you enjoy!

Why can’t we see that people are hurting? Why do some people rush to spread bad news, but don’t bother to take the time to clear up a nasty rumor? We are all touched by pain, turmoil and tragedy, are we not? We all suffer so how do we forget what that feels like. How […]

Salty summer breeze offering little comfort Warm rays of sunshine caress everything within its vast reach All is quiet, except for gentle waves lapping against the boat The occasional seagull cries out in his quest to find dinner My eyelids are heavy with a lovely, peaceful drowsiness My book falls to the floor as I […]
