It’s short, but it’s a start. Getting back to actually writing a story a week, I’m posting this week’s story. I hope that you enjoy it. Anne’s Prayer Anne’s fingers tentatively caressed the ivory-encased keys. The soft notes lingered briefly in the air. The wind chimes outside the open window sang in the spring breeze [...]

Outside my window… Raining again, but I don’t mind. At least it’s not snow! I am thinking… about screen doors and paint colors for the hallway. I am thankful for… a self-employed husband.

Outside my window… SNOW!?! I am thinking… that this will be another rough week. I am thankful for… two little guys that snuggled up on the couch with me to watch figure skating yesterday. From the kitchen… fresh batch of madeleines in the oven. I am wearing… pink pajamas and a pink fleece jacket. I [...]
