JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..
As you know (if you have been keeping up with the news), our democracy is under attack. And many of us are weary and afraid of what’s to come. I am. Irrational anger. Vicious hate. Meanness. Greed. Someone said that we can still be friends, even if we don’t agree. Uh, no. And, no oneContinue reading “JOHN LEWIS, DAN RATHER, AND JESSE JEWELL CHICKENS Ramblings…..”
THROUGH MY EYES…..
THROUGH MY EYES….. Whenever I see something new or learn something new, I try to think about how it applies to my life? I ask myself “Why is this significant to me?” That is the only way I seem to be able to relate. I must make it personal in some way. I do theContinue reading “THROUGH MY EYES…..”

NOW! WHERE WAS I? IT WAS 1957…… AND, I WAS IN PARIS, FRANCE, AND I……
What I have on my mind today is NOT the news. I am so alarmed and depressed about the news that I need to help myself “get a grip”. I am walking and thinking and planning and thinking until I have OVERTHOUGHT everything. Ouch. I have time. I am in Paris. I am still alive,Continue reading “NOW! WHERE WAS I?

MEET LILLIAN. Who? Why? Lillian is on my mind this week. She was my aunt. My mother’s sister. I wrote about her over last weekend, but that post was too long, and Lillian “got lost in the shuffle.” So, now, Lillian has a post of her own! She matters because she mattered. A woman beforeContinue reading “MEET LILLIAN! – Revised!”
