Playing By Ear as a way of life
Danger! Suspense! A high stakes game of cat and mouse!
No, this isn’t about picking gunk out of an electrical socket with a fork… I’m talking about going barefoot at Costco.
When we got to Costco today, I found out that…Continue reading ‘Sidestepping the Costco Guards’
We’ve all been there. Things get dirty. That’s happened to us.
Rags
In the kitchen, we have a cloth which we clean the table and counters with. For some reason, Mama gets sparkling …Continue reading ‘Cleanliness in Black and White’
In my son Kyle’s world, all poems have to rhyme. When I go to write it just comes out that way.
The other night I had total insomnia. It happens from time to time. I took pen to paper and filled some of my wakeful night with this…

(just a little bit of each, but it added up) Other than that, I’m usually always able to stop eating before I get full.
Anyway, there were two other occasions where I was had no idea …Continue reading ‘Topping it off…’
