A Summer of Magic
The walk to grandma's house from the cabin in the woods was a long trek for a child of my age. I dreaded it even though I loved my grandmother and looked forward to the biscuit and gravy breakfast she would cook for us. For this reason, I would wake up… Read full post »
Shut the Barn Door
Hello Mother
Hello Sister
Hello Oldest Daughter
Why must you cause strife?
It is no big deal
It is just my life
It is just my life
Excuse me, Mother

You never know what you might find.
You never know what you might see.
When it rains, the park is empty.
Come back again soon.
I wonder
I wonder
What is it like there,
where you live?
Not the city, exactly
just your place in it.
I wonder
If you have a routine,
that suits you.
And, if you consider yourself...
happy?
I wonder
What your voice sounds like,
or more importantly- your laugh.
What you might say to me-

As an avid John Hughes' films fan, you would think it would be hard to choose just one favorite sceen, but it is not. My all-time favorite scene is the sweet sixteen kiss at the end of "Sixteen Candles." My oldest daughter would disagree. Every boyfriend she has ever had was… Read full post »
