NO REGRETS Remembering sweet times puts a smile on my face, recalling those moments in our own special place; memories warming my heart and my soul like those times we listened to that good old rock and roll when safe in your arms my heart felt so whole. We share precious memories we never will […]
DREAM-FISHING Endless summer afternoons we spent at the river’s edge, fishing poles in hand and wearing straw hats, so patient we were back then. We’d watch and wait for hours for the biggest fish to strike, just summertime kids, freckle-faced and tan, kids with nothing more important to do than to catch those fish and […]

NO DOUBT AT ALL Open the windows and feel the warmth; let the sunshine in and forget all the strife. The breezes of springtime feel so very good; another long winter we have withstood. Bright yellow daffodils have started appearing for even they know that springtime is nearing. Budding trees in the park are ready […]
Celebrating 38 years of marriage this month, this week’s Collab theme was rather timely for me. Thanks to Angel Love and the CPC for the beautiful challenge. MAKING IT THROUGH We’ll make it through this valley of tears; we’ve been through so much already in all of these years. We’re going to make it, no […]
