I quickly glanced at the text I had just received on my phone. It appeared that one of my sisters who lives right on the “tippy-slopey-slippery-sandy” edge of the Southeast Florida coast was going to be slammed and upheaved and flooded and swept away like a red and white plastic bobber on a 25lb fishing…
So Close To Amazing ! And a giveaway
My heart twisted within my chest. I wanted to groan, but I think all I could muster was a faint audible gasp. I wanted to cry, I deemed the situation totally appropriate for tears, capable of flooding my face and several tissues, but none came. I’m not sure there are tears…anymore, not anymore. Last night…

Do you text a lot? I do. (I now have a Samsung Galaxy S8+, but not because I wanted it…initially at least.) Isn’t it the most amazing thing to have technology to text? I wish there was such a thing as texting or facetime when my mother was living… OR when I was dating Philip!!…
Do you like to sit on the porch while it rains? You do? Oh good! Then let me pull one of those rockers over here by me. Let’s talk. I lit a pungent candle in hopes of keeping the mosquitoes at bay…well several candles actually. The frogs are belting out their guttural call from somewhere near the…
