Family trees, twigs and broken branches
Family comes in many shapes and sizes these days, a far cry from the traditional four-person family of the 1950s. How fortunate for us. If some of you have been bitten by the genealogy bug as I have, I’m sure … Continue reading

For today’s breakfast…
I shall be feasting on a large slice of humble pie with a side of crow. Hey, I’ve never had a problem admitting when I’m wrong. I was wrong. Not only was I wrong, I am so comfortably wrapped in … Continue reading

Why do I write?

Put up or shut up…
I’ve attended many different types of writing conferences in the last several years. I suppose, like many others, I was looking for the “magic” solution about how to write. That magic solution is similar to the one that works for … Continue reading
