This is a public service announcement: Please make sure your children know that any and all light outages should be reported to those in charge--namely, you. New Year's Day started off lovely. Miss Sophie and I had a long, pleasant January summer (Georgia--check the calendar please) walk, and the rain didn't come like we thought… Continue reading The Little Light…..It’s not on, Clark

s-o-c-k-s ~2022~ socks
It was nineteen years ago that we were preparing to move to Japan. It was a huge change for this Georgia girl who had never lived more than thirty minutes from the home she'd grown up in. Still, it was a wonderful experience, and we came home two and a half years later with another… Continue reading s-o-c-k-s ~2022~ socks

I don't want to review memories and stories and sweep them back into my memories. And so I find… Continue reading TRASH

It was one of those Georgia days that started out pleasant--the temperature just right--but rapidly moved into the "I'm sweating an ocean right where I'm sitting" situation. The Fella was helping… Continue reading Umbrella and Steagles and 2017
