If she were here today, I'd ask her to join me in a cup of coffee, no froth on our cups either, we loved to drink it black. We'd sit together and laugh, and catch up, and share what was new in our lives. Mom had an opinion to share, a quirk to chuckle about, or… Continue reading My spring memory garden

How I roll – reading 3 books at one time
I can't go into a bookstore, browse, and leave without buying a book. I've tried, but it happens every single time. I've tried not touching the books and just walk around admiring the spines.
