Hello everyone:



Just wanted to say that as I am preparing sweet potatoes, pies and mashed potatoes for the big feast at my sister Denise's house-----(she's here on Wiffledust too! -she and my brother- in- law Jerry whose birthday is tomorrow by the way), I so appreciate and cherish each of you, my friends on Wiffledust. Thanks for allowing me to post my little poems and thoughts, thanks for all your positive and loving feedback when I try out my creative wings. It's not something… Continue

A cabin anywhere
where the north winds blow
in the middle of the woods
the furious snow
makes not a sound
its there i must go
smoke from the chimney
unfurling as tho
it could reach the heavens and
continue to go

the seasons pass slow
for at least a century

My father's eyes?

crinkled corners

knowing smile

not cloud nor cataract to disguise

truth

the heart remembers what the years forget

a life become survival mechanism

incessant like catechism

Eyes deep as ancient… Continue

These days, it seems that almost everybody has a friend or family member in the Armed Services, stationed "over there". With the holiday season fast approaching, we can do great good by helping our brave loved ones to be able to get in touch with their folks at home by donating to this very worthy and practical program that the USO runs each year. If you are interested in making a difference for someone who has to spend their holiday season so very very far from home, please go… Continue

Lisa approached me in the spring of 2007 with news that she was working on a very cool project; and wanted to know if I'd like to get involved. She has very innovative ideas about "web radio"--what it can be when creative minds get a hold of an interactive website. So, of course I said yes! This is a concept so different and completely amazing! I can't wait for the whole world to see this. Any day now, she's going to share this with everyone, and let me tell you people, it's gonna be… Continue
