Palm trees. Towering and thin and as tall as they grow their roots spread underground. I didn’t know that until recently. Do you ever learn something at just the right moment in time – or wake up and become aware that you’ve been taught something at just the right moment? I’m like a palm tree. […]
The turkey carcass was still sitting on my kitchen counter when I decked my halls in a desperate plea to get some holiday spirit up in here. I like when my house is noisy with my kids running around and laughing with the chasteness of a Hallmark movie on the tv in one room and […]
