After the Adventure
My advanture is complete! In case you don’t follow me on Facebook, let me explain. Between April 8 and May 24 (when I returned home from the third and final leg of travel), I traveled throughout all but 4 of the U.S. states east of the N-S line from North Dakota...

The Best-Laid Plans (Road Trip, part 1)
In about five weeks, depending on the birth date of my 3rd grandchild/2nd granddaughter, I’ll embark on a trip that has been a dream of mine for several years. The journey from initial idea to the more-recent concrete steps take to make it happen has been...

I'm very excited to again this week join a talented group of women who connect each Friday in an online, unedited (so excuse all errors) flash mob free-write based on a one-word prompt from our fearless leader Kate Motaung. My timer is set for 5...
