Usually, all you have to do is put up a poem about Autumn and my attention is grabbed. However, this poem is also really, really good! Please go check out Elan Mudrow’s blog!

How Lovely!
It is really wonderful to have so many new followers to this blog. As you might already know, I call this my labor of love. For two reasons, one because it is a lot of work! I transcribe the passages, edit them, print them, and then spend time with Babu, my grandmother, as she reads…
You Must Wait
The air was heavy with ghosts today and the pages of her 1935 journal were full of them. I sat across the breakfast table with Babu and she talked with so much emphasis about her friend, Ernestine Jones. She gets this tone to her voice when she’s expressing love, and her words go on just…
A Stony Sunday Share (I just wanted to round out the alliteration.)
I am back! I’ve been camping – for a week – and it was every single thing I needed. For now, it is time for the Sunday Share. As rejuvenating as the vacation was, I am happy to sit back down and check in on blogs and get back to work. (There was no wifi…
The Merging
Does your life eventually condense into just a few stories? The ones you still remember? The ones that won’t let you go? Nuances of a long life fade under the weight of so many years, so many memories. I talk like my grandmother has Alzheimer’s but she doesn’t. Yet she told me the same story…
Storm
Storm Clouds roll over, obliterate reality She doesn’t know us, Trapped in a demon dimension. He’s hanging on a cross. EMTs are creatures to fight. Hulking out, Using inhuman amounts of strength Fighting everything that’s good for her. That storm is long passed It rolled in time and again But now it’s gone. We live…
Sunday Share #2
When I read this post it knocked me back a little because it echoed so much of what I was experiencing and mulling over in my mind. It is also just a great piece of writing! She was able to say what I wrote about the same day but in a much better way. This…
Support Me
I have decided not to be one of those blogs that asks you to “Buy me a cup of coffee” or purchase things for me off an Amazon wish list. That decision didn’t take much thought. I have also decided not to receive payments for reblogs as I have seen in other places. If I…
Sundays are for Sharing
I have decided to begin: “Sunday Share” here on my blog. I have asked and gotten approval from the person each Sunday who I share their post. I am doing this because I have found the blogging community to be delightfully and unexpectedly lovely and supportive. I will be sharing specific posts from lovely blogs…
Mending Fence
Our neighbor next door is the best I could ask for. She is truly lovely. As a bonus, her husband is a police officer, a friendly one, and I feel safe having them next door. She and I always say hello to one another with small check ins. “Hows your grandmother?” She always asks and…
My Doors. My house.
Two months ago I wrote the following poem: The Doors in This House In this house I must keep fighting with the porch door, They close all throughout this house but don’t latch. The only way to win is to slam it hard And wiggle the handle wildly. He wakes from the other room, It’s…
