HAPPY FATHER'S DAY
See You in September
After much thought and consideration I've decided to take a summer break from my blog. It's amazing how difficult it was to make the decision and then write this post. These past 6 months, I have had the pleasure of spending most of my days with my 3-year old grandson. (You remember him, Mr Exuberance. … Continue reading See You in September
Gettin’ My Kicks on Root 66
Last October I decided to stop coloring my hair but chickened out when I saw a picture of myself. Horrified, I made a beeline to my colorist. I just wasn't ready. Late November, near my 66th birthday, my grey roots were once again making an appearance. Looking at myself in the mirror, I played with … Continue reading Gettin’ My Kicks on Root 66

Plein Air Writing-Final Class
Tuesday was my final Plein Air Writing class for this term. Rushing to get there on time, the morning's frustrations fell away when I found my fellow writers nestled in among the cypress trees, heads bowed, pens skimming across the page leaving inspired prose in their wake.
