Boots and Rainbows!
Rain fell. And rain always makes me think. I think of the food I want to cook. I think of the projects I want to complete. I think of the books I want to read. This is on the first day of rain. Rain keeps falling. My thinking continues. Being the optimist I think of...

Sweet laundry! What? You girls know that I find joy in the laundry. Haven't I rubbed off on you like a soft dryer sheet yet? This morning started early. The sun wasn't up but the cat was! She's a good cat. She comes into our bedroom and waits patiently without a...

She Trusted ME With Her Hair!
There we sat, two teenage girls, wild and free. Nothing to do and all the time in the world. And she let me cut her hair! Yes, we were teenagers, not 3 or 4 years old with scissors and bad bangs. She had a beautiful head of dark amber hair and for some unknown reason...
