Taking a break

from the internet for a bit. Instead of surfing the net, I’ve been reading aloud with my kids, hanging out at the pool, I’ve read a few trashy novels just for fun and have been going to bed early. I’ve even woken up early a few times and have wanted to walk/run on […]

Random letter meme from Debi.
1. Galaxy - Once when I told my son to do something, like that it was time to come in to take a shower or clean his room, he said I was the meanest mom in the galaxy. That’s pretty mean, huh?
2. Gallop - I love to ride a galloping […]

To see poems of others, look here.

I am from clotheslines, walking the fence and gunny sack swings, from Tide, Clorox and Burpee garden seeds.
I am from the kind of small town where everyone knows your family…..a two-story house at the […]
