Bounding down the concrete stairs in high heels, wearing coordinated tops and accessories, flitting from one place to the next, not thinking about tomorrow. Fewer high heels but still coordinated, kids are coordinated, too. Still flitting, but a little slower to accommodate the smaller wings at her side. Long dresses, New Age music, challenging the… Continue reading A bit of rambling…
My desk…
The messy, but wonderful surface of my desk. I used to go to the thrift shop quite a bit in the hopes that I'd find some sort of treasure. I've found a few over the years and have loved them all. This time I found a desk that needed to come home with me. She… Continue reading My desk…

Ghosts and towns…
Picture taken about 35 years ago in Arizona. "But things like this they had to pass, Sunk in the sand on the Arkansas, This rosewood sofa that clutched the sun With every foot a gryphon's claw; The saw it shining far ahead, They turned to see it far behind, And dreamed of men who dared… Continue reading Ghosts and towns…

There was a time when I would find interest in something and jump in with both feet, no hesitation. Crafts, books, foods, ideas, and so much more. Counted cross stitch?
