Marvelous Monday in Honor of Mom
Yesterday was Mother's Day, a time for honoring mothers (and maternal figures) for all that they have done and still do for us: bandaging boo-boos, making our favorite dessert, holding us when we are sad, etc. So, today, I'd like to introduce my mom (Ms. Jean) to you and give her a "shout out" for … Continue reading Marvelous Monday in Honor of Mom

Tuesday Writing Prompt – Take An Imaginary Trip
Hey friends! I bet some of you are missing camping trips, long beach weekends, Spring Break, festivals, park openings, etc. For me, one of the hardest things about staying close to home meant the loss of a spring trip to New Orleans to the French Quarter (food & music) Festival.

How Do You Celebrate A Birthday?
Today is my hubby's _____ birthday! (I won't disclose his actual age because I think he looks much younger than he really is.) We've always had a disagreement about birthdays.
