Playing Favorites

January will be over soon so I’m late to this party, but I just found out about a WordPress blogging challenge called “Bloganuary” with daily prompts to encourage regular writing. I haven’t looked at all the prompts I’ve missed but yesterday’s was “favorite photo you’ve ever taken.” I am terrible at picking favorites. I’ve probably…

Top Ten of 2021

Are you glad it’s over? Did it go by in a flash for you too? While 2020 felt like it would never end, 2021 was over in an instant. At least that’s how it feels as I look back on this first day of 2022. I’m sure there were moments when I felt like it…

A Real Peach

For years I’ve held on to a belief that I don’t like peaches. The reality is though that I don’t remember ever trying them. Maybe there were peaches in one of those canned fruit cocktails we got in school. I remember that I used to just eat the grapes. I don’t remember having peaches at…
