Trip reading
Posted in Just thinking ..., Travels on May 29th, 2010
When I was going to Camp every summer as a child, I always had a couple of comic books in my suitcase, to read on the train. This was a great treat, as I wasn’t usually allowed to read comic books. Of course, the problem with comic books is that there is minimum plot, no […]
Drive-drive-drive
Posted in God thoughts, Travels on May 26th, 2010
That’s what my family-of-origin called days where we didn’t stop to see or do things; we just covered miles between one fun place and the next. The first four days of this trip are drive-drive-drive days: yesterday I left Boulder at 2 and got to Douglas, Wyoming. Tonight I’m camped in Butte, Montana. Tomorrow I’ll […]
graduation
Posted in from the furry side on May 18th, 2010
I am pleased to announce that Elsi, my personal human, has at long-last graduated from intermediate obedience school.
I first took her to PetSmart for class shortly after I joined her household. After interviewing several applicants, I chose Morgan Millner as our trainer. You wouldn’t believe how poorly trained Elsi was then—yelling at me for performing […]
Our morning elk
Posted in from the furry side, Travels on May 15th, 2010
Today is the last day of the Colorado Christian Writers Conference in Estes Park. Which, this morning of May 15, is totally fogged in—gray and cold and forbidding, with no hint of sun or mountains in the foreseeable future.
Sallie thinks it’s a beautiful day, however, because she has had a morning elk, right outside the […]
CCWC in Estes Park
Posted in God thoughts, Travels on May 13th, 2010
Estes had more than a foot of snow, which hasn’t kept the writers from the Colorado Christian Writers Conference! I’m here in my RV—two quilts, a warm beagle, and Dolphin on top made for a cozy night.
Frost on the inside of my windows this […]
from the Meandering Moose
Posted in Travels on May 6th, 2010
{for your information, the Meandering Moose is my RV, which spends the winter in my backyard}
I sleep peacefully all winter,
curled up in my yard,
snug under the snow.
Unlike the crocuses,
I don’t wake when I feel warmth.
No, I wait for more definite signs:
the […]

May!

{with apologies to Lerner and Loewe}
Tra la! It’s May! The lovely month of May!
That wond’rous month when everything blooms! Life’s a holiday!
Tra la! It’s here! That new-life time of year,
When eggs are laid, and bunnies are born; green leaves will appear!
It’s May! It’s May! The trees their blooms display!
The writers conference starts in a week! […]
