As soon as I started thinking about this post, it had an accompanying track that played in my head throughout it’s forming into words. The road I grew up on, Thompson Rd, was out in the country and contained a lot of extended family.… Continue Reading “Return to Innocence”

When I was curating this space, over 5 years ago, the idea I had in mind was to create my own virtual version of a hobbit house. I wanted the reader to be able to imagine a cozy space containing many rooms, nestled someplace… Continue Reading “By the Light of a Peacock Lamp”

Several years ago, my Aunt, knowing my affinity for both the UK and a great television series, sent a text over to me that read… “You HAVE TO watch The Five, on Netflix! You will love it!” She knows me very well, so, there… Continue Reading “Another Day in Paradise”

As I may have mentioned previously, there wasn’t a lot of planning built in to this trip. I’d love to say it was due to the simplicity of being easy to please but the truth is, I just didn’t want to get it wrong.… Continue Reading “All the Comforts of Home”

It’s early, not unusually early, but early and my little houseguest (my nephew J), although he claims to have just woken up when I did, is already, practically bursting with anticipatory energy.

What a truly perfect time to be writing this one! Truly! I’m at the very cusp of 4-0 and I could not have and, very likely, would not have made it to this point without them…they who are now a blend of both blood… Continue Reading “I Wish My Family Knew That…”
