I have a bunch of friends here.  People I love very much.  People who are so good to me that it hurts.  It hurts because I feel lost in their midst.  The flurry of lunches and teas and shopping and trips to get … Continue reading →

Mia spilled an entire carton of blue cheese crumbles on the kitchen floor.  The 76 or so year old kitchen floor with the gaps between the floor boards wide enough to lose a small child in. As I was cleaning … Continue reading →

Satanic pin out, feeling better, but still jailed.  It is going to be a long 4 weeks for the dingo dog.  

Honey thinks she is a cat.  She curls up on the sofa with us in our laps. She leans up against our legs all the time.  When I am standing at the sink washing dishes, watering the yard or taking … Continue reading →
