The walk of only she,
breathing in, knowing she was breathing in
breathing out, knowing she was breathing out.
She listened in the stillness,
the sound of
the song birds
the beeping construction equipment

Blog postI’m a member of an author/book reader facebook group, and the admins ask great questions. I decided to turn some of the questions into a “get to know me” series. I would also love to hear your answers to the questions posed in the series. Thanks Helen for asking such fun questions!

Lillian and Camilla November 2020 Date Day
French fries from Noble Pie Parlor – Summit Reno for both of us, with a Trader Joe’s spicy lentil wrap for me.
Dessert of a white chocolate dipped cookie for Lillian and a couple of squares of this amazing new chocolate I just discovered at Trader Joe’s.
Then we took a walk in one of our favorite places, followed by a drive around our old neighborhood.

Memories: Millennium Tahiti Cruise With Aerosmith and Billy Idol While Touring Great Britain With a 1976 Mississippi State Map
Thomas received a Victrola for his birthday, and I have been looking for an old 45 record I used to have. Haven’t found it yet, but, finding all kinds of fun stuff. That time I WON a 12 day Tahiti cruise! Not only that. The Millennium cruise. That. Was. Fun.

This “thank you” was sparked by t -
