The Chickens, the Coyote and the Hole in the Roof

Posted on August 21, 2015 by

I got caught on the phone yesterday with seven-year-old Cosette. I called to see how her mother was feeling, as she had been sick for a few days, but I never did get to speak to her. Once Cosette answers, talking to anyone else in … Continue reading →

My grandson Christian turned 11 today. It seems like only yesterday he was a toddler throwing the butter dish out the kitchen door. Ah, good times. I never had any sons or brothers, so my grandsons are a continuing source of wonder and amusement for … Continue reading →
