Antebellum

posted over 2 years ago, updated 3 minutes later | 1 comment
Yesterday as I walked
Through the streets of Alexandria
I faced many reminders
Of the history surrounding me

Camera in hand
So many buildings and homes
Windows and doors to photograph
Here since before the Revolutionary War

Yet, I am reminded t...

Life is Like a Rollercoaster

posted over 2 years ago | 2 comments
Life is like a rollercoaster
Full of twists and turns
Peaks and valleys
There are times when you feel like you are on top of the world
And times when you feel so low you wonder if there is a way up

Sometimes life takes an unexpected turn
Spinni...

There's a lot to be said for living alone. You don't have to share your space with anyone, and you can be who you are because there is nobody else you have to please, but there are pitfalls that come with that. Today, we'll focus on grocery shoppi...

Celebrate Freedom

posted over 2 years ago | 3 comments
I am a dual-national, and therefore an American somewhat by choice and not purely by chance. It is an American passport I carry when I travel abroad, and I do appreciate those opportunities when they come. It is in those travels that I come to app...

When I am down and, oh my boobs so droopy
With age I’ve come to realize the need
That with your help, I can look so much better

You raise me up, my boobs ...

Seems as every day of late
We hear the news of Jon and Kate
And now their latest tale of woe
Divorce is pending, don't you know

To have this family of eight
Who's to blame?
When was your last date?
Or do ...

ODE TO SMOG

posted over 2 years ago | 2 comments
You see it in cities everywhere
The hovering haze that's in the air
The blending of smoke and fog
That urban blight we now call SMOG

It fills the skies and makes them gray

The blending of smoke and fog
That urba...

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
And a lone man faces down
The tanks in ...

Doing What Comes Naturally

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 over 2 years 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...
