Drifting through life

Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another.

Here is my story: My tattle-tale little sister, Caitlin, plopped herself into the white wicker chair on the side porch, shook her curly hair out of her face and said in her most prissy voice, "Just what chicanery are you up to now Thomas?" "It's just Tom, okay? and what the heck does chicane

I’d mistaken possessiveness for love, but the day I came home from work and found him bullying my children, I made my getaway plans. When he went out to buy more b

Beginning with photos from the past, because I haven't been out taking new ones: for those who haven't seen it yet, this is me holding a koala, almost ten years ago now. pre-dawn storm clouds rolling in as I walked to work one day the mini Yoda on one of my keychains, he is about one and a half inches tall, and now most of his green has worn off.
