After a long winter of seemingly endless snow storms, the sun is finally shining on the Blue Ridge Mountains.  Spring never looked and felt so good! I’m reminded of an old southern joke my father teased me with when I was a child.  Rumor has it, if you sneak up behind a robin and shake … Read more

I’m a little Uncomfortable…

I’m shy by nature. I think most writers are. It takes a lot for me to come out from behind a computer and talk to people face to face. I’m not quite sure why that is. It isn’t like one time I said ‘hello’ to someone and they bit me. It’s just a part of … Read more

So, we’ll do something a little different.  Let’s play a game of sorts.  It’ll be like a continuing … Read more

Is writing your dirty mistress?

Late in the evening once my children are tucked securely in bed and my husband has safely left to work I walk through the house and turn off all the lights.
