the place where I can wear my hair up in a messy bun the place where doggies blissfully “happy dance” under the sun the place where I can look around and see love in a frame family pictures scattered ’round showing just how far we came I sort of feel like Dorthy in Oz- “there’s […]
one day I’ll look back- grateful for the time I spent being with my girls I love haikus. They say a lot with few words. Sometimes lots of words make me tired, lol! Like yesterday- for some reason I was really, really tired. I could chalk it up to the time change and still getting […]
