I Still Read Books.
Slowly and surely, yes. But I make time each day for my number one hobby. . . . Dear Reader! Hi. (waves) It’s been quite awhile since I’ve posted a book review* on here. I used to call it Book-of-the-Month, but that timeline has—and probably will be—on hold for several more years to come. But…

Where Does the Love Go?
. . . A Poem . . . where does the love go between friends who once had an almost-maybe thing that slowly settled into complacent camaraderie ? where does the love go between two sister-halves who felt their laughter so deeply it practically stayed in their bones until one day they ended up mere…

Raindrops & Cozy Socks.
It’s been too long, Dear Reader. Too, too long. . . . Hello! And greetings from our sweet-baby RV. I literally have over 20 blogs patiently waiting in “Draft” purgatory, but rather than use the brain power to revise, edit, and post one of those, I decided to start fresh. (It may be what I…
