Sunday Mutterings
I’m supposed to do something today. Well, rather several somethings, but I’m trying to be brief. It dawned on me that I wrote part one of a three part series back in November and left you all hanging. I do want to finish it, because it’s a fun series (I think) and important. That last […]

Alaska Bush Mother Art
I’m very proud to be giving my grandmother, La Vaughn Kemnow, a little assistance with her memoir of life on an Alaskan Homestead in the 1950s. I had no idea of the story of my mother’s childhood, and this has been a poignant labor, converting the interior and cover files for publication. I don’t know […]
