I can remember doing a Yule Log, Snowflakes, Ornaments, Cookies, Mistletoe and I am sure there are a couple more. I try not to... Continue Reading →

November Finally Ends…
I had such great hopes for November. I would roller skate. I was going to write a poem a day. I had just started a new job and I was learning my new position well. And then I was diagnosed with Covid-19. I spent a little over two weeks in quarantine and 10 days in... Continue Reading →

By Thursday it was falling into my chest and I had a wet sinus drainage cough, which is again not unusual, but because of the... Continue Reading →

Friday Night Karaoke in Newark
My little sister, Traci, texted me at work yesterday afternoon to see if I would like to come down to do Karaoke at The Bootlegger in Newark. I love Karaoke so I headed that way after work.

A Haunting…or not
This past weekend we went to stay in a cabin in Hocking Hills to celebrate my brother-in-law's fortieth birthday. From the outside it looked just like a normal two-story house, but inside it had an amazing spiral staircase leading to the upper floor and beautiful wood beams over the kitchen. Outside on the property there... Continue Reading →
