i'm married to my first and only husband, Edo, of 32 years. we have 9 children (!), 6 boys, 3 girls, and, yes, i do know about birth control, thank you very much! i'm only on OS to share a little of what i know and to find out what you know, too. when i'm not around for awhile, it's 'cause i've gotten behind in my laundry and can be found folding hundreds of socks, but i'll come out of the dungeon and visit again, promise!

Oscillating I
Eyes awoke this morning, full of life.
Moving, east and west, eastandwest, eastwest.
I had woken during a REM cycle and was conscious only of this movement.
Feel it, the two fingers of my left hand reach up to gently rest on my left eye.
I can feel the gentle shift,… Read full post »

my crave for a cold, orange Fanta, has been fulfilled.
i savor its fizzy, swish of tangerine.
my mind thinks "mandarin", with supple, loose skin falling off in
my hand.
mother-me, loves light. spring will be here soon.
but for now, dark days that confuse. dark by four. sleep comes

Have a Little Faith in Me~John Hiatt or Joe Cocker, tell me!
And you can no longer see
Just let my love throw a spark
And have a little faith in me
And when the tears you cry
Are all you can believe
Just give these loving arms a try, baby
And have a little faith in me
And have a little… Read full post »

But not for years

Will you dance with me,

Foodie Tuesday's B.R.A.T. diet: what to feed your sick child
Around our house, when a child is sick from the "stomach flu", I dispense what is commonly known as the "B.R.A.T." diet. It is a diet of foods that help with the symptoms of this type of illness by providing some elements that tighten loose bowels and shortens the harshness of… Read full post »
Rally for the Ranters! Yeah, a Shout Out to All OS'ers!

Zucchini is generally considered a lowly vegetable, an immature fruit of the plant, being known by botanists as the swollen ovary of the female zuke flower. There, I told you and I bet you don't ever want to eat one again! If you dare get past that little factoid, I invite… Read full post »

That's life~a post for our President

You're riding high in April,
Shot down in May
But I know I'm gonna change that tune,
When I'm back on top, back on top in June.
September song!
Say do you remember?
The raindrops seemed to play a sweet refrain...
Our hearts were ringing
