For the love of words, where is my drabble? The sun has nearly set on this Friday, and yet I have not posted my drabble. You noticed, right?
Okay kids, happy Drabble Day: a short work of fiction, exactly 100 words in length.
As is the case whenever there is a “Wednesday’s What is It?”, I talk about the mystery photo before I share the drabble. Continue reading
As promised by the weather forecasters, the clouds parted and the sun rose without any visible filters. Welcome to the weekend. So good to have you back, Sun. You’ve been missed. Greatly.
2012: A Photo A Day
Today is Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. Schools, banks and other businesses are closed in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. and his work to end the discrimination and the segregation of black men and women.
Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. (and others), the boys don’t look at their classmates as a color. Nor do the boys exclude others based on race, religion or national origin. And, thanks to the civil rights movement, the boys have a rainbow of friends in their classrooms.

Project 366: A Photo A Day

The frame, holding the drawing, was a wedding gift from one of my bridesmaids. This picture reminds me of my love for Rob and my friends. Continue reading
