April 20, 2011

I did not write it, but I must share it. Tina Fey is the genius behind this work, and she gets all credit.  It made me laugh, it made me cry, and it made me say to myself, “All of my readers must see this.” So here it is: Tina Fey’s Prayer for a Daughter First, Lord: No tattoos. May… Read More

March 14, 2011

I took my camera out on a beautiful day, and took some fun pictures. Ronan wanted to run around outside, so dad went with him.  I followed along and snapped! Ronan pretending he fell down.  “Ooowwwwwwww.” Dad gave him a stick, and he was very proud of it. I don’t know why, I just love this picture. Blue eyed babe!… Read More

Water.

March 4, 2011

Another writing piece! I am going to try to participate in this more regularly, so you can expect to see more of these. I really enjoy writing them, so I hope you enjoy reading them. This weeks prompt: Water gives life. It also takes it away. Write a short piece – fiction or non-fiction – inspired by one or both… Read More
