Beautifully written.

I found this poem on my daughter’s Facebook page, she’s forever writing poems. I told her I was going to blog it and along with a thumbs up she told me my painting that I did several years ago is what inspired her poem. I find that thrilling! What a wonderful process of artists encouraging writers encouraging singers and musicians and dancers and so on to an eternity of beauty making!
Old country roads,
they mean the world to m...

n is a dear friend of mine. One of those found in the madness known as Facebook. This is her second visit to my little alcove. You may remember her previous offering, Dancing within Shadow.

Fencing in Fantasy
Originally posted on Making Believe:
Tomorrow night is my very first electric fencing tournament. I’ve been fencing over a year with Tom Martin as my coach from
Kitsap Fencing Cente
r.
Believe it or not, my fencing experience has very much to do with a fantasy story. I was in the midst of writing a duel in Cassandra’s Castle when I learned there was a fencing center in our town.

Tui begins with just a hin...

The Indiegogo Fundraiser for The Balck GUides of Mammoth Cave documentary is still going on, and I still need your contributions to help finish our film, but my personal outreach took a big hit for a while. I take care of my elderly mother and 11days ago she had a minor stroke – a TIA. I took her to the hospital and she was admitted. In addition to the s...
