  1. Friends and Nephews

    The viewing for Mary Ann went well but I was not able to attend. It was a simple manner of sloppy weather, a 60 mile round trip drive and a quarter tank of fuel left in the 86 Grand Marquis. I often fantasize about having a working car that might be in the 90s but I'm determined to work some bills down before getting back onto the car payment plan. Ironically she had a great turn out from AAA employees that reflect the high regard we all had for her. AAA was even thanked in the obituary notice. ...

  2. Haunted

    This blog is haunting me. I need to put something in it I guess, so here goes.

    My classes will have Halloween parties on Tuesday and Wednesday. The children, for the most part, are sweet and innocent and interested mostly in pretending to be someone else. The room mothers will bring adorable treats that all of the other mothers will ooo and ahh over, but the children will take little bites and waste the rest.
    We will stuff surgical gloves with popcorn but first a candy corn ...

  3. inscription on a falling leaf

    I've just created a bodhi-leaf
    (I hope its uniqueness will ensure its survival);
    It's more rare than magic;
    If you search for it, you'll never find it,
    But become trapped and entangled.
    It's true that many are pleasantly trapped,
    But most are in a private hell.

    I cannot determine where it could be.
    Surely resting under some tree.
    I have no answer, nor any reason.
    I only know it inside my heart.

    Now, can ...

    I’ve had so much going on lately so for a blog this time I think I’ll just give a quick overview.


    A friend of ours gave us half of a deer on the one day I had to do housework last week. I am thankful for the deer, but my house is such a mess! We have such a heavy dear population this year that I think they may issue some extra tags, I’m already seeing deer hit by cars on the highway. What a shame. So anyway, it took me about four hours to get the dear all processed and ...

  5. No one can tell

    No one can tell you the beautiful, new life they see in you.
    These 19 years, and it's only now that you feel new.
    No one can tell you what magic is in your voice.
    But listen quiet, this is how I love you.

    I will not idealize; I know I can't depend on you.
    My own voice is special too; I'll put an end to you.
    I'd thought you'd destroyed me, till I knew I wasn't there.
    It's a play. Like a child playing, I've turned it back to you.
