when the saints
One of my favorite poets and authors, Maya Angelou, has passed away. She was 86. Maya Angelou spoke at my college graduation in 1998.

look at the birds, up in the trees…
Well, THAT was beautiful. My weekend was very busy and I accomplished so much! I donated blood, did almost all the laundry, cleaned the house top to bottom and reclaimed my office from the kitten. Thankfully, he has survived two whole nights out in the the open and so have my knick knacks. I completely […]
