~:: End of May ::~

Dropping back again.  So this is how I look when I shoot – face all screwed up, like I can’t see properly or hold still long enough if my face isn’t stiff. Chaz in her fancy summer striped dress, and … Continue reading

~:: Triathlon ::~

Triathlons don’t usually start with roaring scary thunder storms. But ours did this morning.  G’s, I mean—it wasn’t mine. I don’t do triathlons. And neither did he, actually, this morning.  Here’s how it went: up at five thirty, he was … Continue reading

~:: Turn, turn, turn ::~

~:: More May ::~

This is no big deal. I can’t understand why it has been so difficult to sit down and do this for the last many months. Whatever the reason, I’m tired of not doing it. But I will say, I’m not … Continue reading

~::May 2012 – Revisiting Summer::~

~:: More Fourth ::~

The 4th of July.  Independence Day. Barbecues, parades (with horses), fireworks, craft fairs, patriotic villages, friends, games, marching bands, bagpipes, craziness.  This year started with G getting up early to run a 10K race.  And Chaz and Chelsea and I … Continue reading

~:: Back to the 4th ::~

~:: Big Balloons ::~

Okay.  This is why I haven’t been journaling: I don’t know when to stop.  I am not moderate.  I cannot help myself. So this is long. But it’s mostly pictures, so you don’t have to work too hard to get … Continue reading

~:: All the Stuffed Little Horses ::~

I was writing, yesterday, about how I can’t seem to sit down and write anything. I think about things and I want to put words to them, but I dance around the ideas, unable to hold still long enough to … Continue reading

~:: Brave ::~

I haven’t written anything on a blog or in a journal for weeks.  I’ve been self-publishing like a crazy person, and now I have all the book promotion to figure out.  I HATE being behind like this, and being out … Continue reading
