My Fashion Queen

Here’s my girl in an outfit of her own choosing. Takes guts to combine a red shirt, pink shorts, and big brother’s outgrown orange boots. Not to mention a very bright spandex vest from an old dance costume AND a pink terrycloth hat. (grin) I guess I’m not the only girl in love [...]

My Mother’s Love

I am from the sunflowers in the garden and the daisies [...]

I Am From (#3)

This one was written by my awesome 14 year old!

I am from the bat, ball and glove, the ball field in the middle of the summer when it’s so hot the air feels like it’s about to catch on fire. From the thrill of victory and agony of defeat, from after game snacks of Gatorade [...]
