I thought I would never say this but I miss our Navy moves. Wait what? Yup I miss them coming in and packing everything that wasn’t nailed down including the trash. Or the time they moved us out of base housing and tried to take the refrigerator which belonged to the Navy. It was still […]
Letting my Running and Writing Go to the Dogs
May 16, 2023 by
Writing and running go together. No you don’t have to run to be a writer nor do you have to write in order to run but it does help. Well it helps me. In a weird twist of the worst timing ever we had to make the painful decision to say good bye to my […]
I met a woman….
April 18, 2023 by
As many of you know I was honored to be published in the book ” So God Made a Mother” which officially releases TODAY ( April 18th) I traveled to Omaha, Nebraska to celebrate the book launch with many of the other contributors. Words cannot describe the energy, the love and the camaraderie that filled […]
Maybe I CAN time travel….
April 11, 2023 by
I walk down the wide brick paved walkway and look around. A familiar feeling washes over me. Much has changed and much is the same. The buildings greet me with their familiar Jeffersonian beauty. The trees are taller, there are now benches to sit on and as I take in the beauty of this place […]

I called and she picked up
September 6, 2022 by
I called and she picked up. I wasn’t sure if the number I had was her landline or her cell. If it was her cell it was a gamble as she often lost it or it wasn’t charged so when she picked up I smiled. Several times I told her who I was but two […]
The Gift of Everyone’s Story
August 16, 2022 by
When my Dad was a boy he was rather introverted. He much preferred to spend time with his dog and his duck. Yes a duck. My grandmother claimed this duck produced the tastiest eggs ever. Never had a duck egg so guess I will take her word for it. In any case my father was […]
So I was just hanging there like a side of beef….
January 25, 2022 by
Yes I was just hanging there like a side of beef waiting to be rescued. Wait I am getting ahead of myself. Have to give you a little background first. Of my many talents one of them seems to be hanging around by a tether from high places. Once I did it upside down. Well […]
