Good God, it’s Friday!
Last night on our way to Church for the Mass of the Lord's supper I needed to stop by the front door as I realized as I climbed into the car that I'd left my phone, where my e-reader is, on the table.

It’s Not All About Me
Like so many others who quilt or create there is a strange dichotomy lived wherein I want to both hide under the table and never have my work seen until I am a posthumous hit; but also have my work seen as though I'm dancing through a torrential storm with great glee, face up, pelleted … Continue reading It’s Not All About Me
