The Cost of Freedom

People uprising
Taking a stand
Fighting off Nazis
In a ghetto in Warsaw
They marched against Stalin
Seeking a voice
Searching for change
In the streets of Budapest
Students are protesting
Wanting to mourn

Wow, not even officially summer, but you can already tell summer is here. We are already spending more time outdoors, and my critters are too. This week began the summertime gifts, appropriate for Father's Day since I am both mother and father to ...
An Excuse for Bad Behavior?
posted 5 months ago, updated about 3 hours later | 3 comments
It's only the Internet. Why do people care so much about what others write? Why do they take it so seriously?
My response would have to be, "if I didn't care about what I am posting, why bother posting it in the first place".
Unfortunate...

Childhood memories, fading fast
If only we could make them last
Stories by the Brothers Grimm
Memories that are often dim
Those books we cherished as a child
When things were often meek and mild

Childlike Faith

What is it about the faith of a child?
Even the poorest of the poor
Are rich in faith
Even when their bellies are empty
There is a smile on their faces
Perhaps it is that they know nothing
About the worries of this world
But these children know h...

Little boxes, on a hillside
Little boxes, made of ticky-tacky
Little boxes, little boxes, little boxes all the same
There's a green one
And a blue one
And a pink one
And a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all looky ju...

Life in the City

I've always wondered what it would be like...
To live in the city
To rely on public transportation
To blend in among the masses
And have so many choices of things to do
But I think I would miss the solitude of a smaller town
Going for a walk in th...

Exile Island

As my parents quickly approach the end of their lives I've been doing quite a bit of reflecting on my past, my dysfunctional family, and how much various parts of my upbringing have and do effect my life today. Within a few short years, or sooner,...
Heroes Buried Neath the Ground

Someone's son, someone's daughter
Someone's husband, wife or lover
Fields of gravestones all around
Heroes buried neath the ground
They went to war to keep us free
They died to give democracy
Fields of gravestones all around

Confessions of a Certifiable "Foodie"
posted 6 months ago, updated 2 minutes later | 3 comments
I love good food, presented beautifully on a white plate with the right mixtures of texture and color. I'm very adventurous too, and will try just about anything at least once. I love sauces and spices and as long as I have a nice glass of white w...
