Virgo and the Circus
I’m not a big follower of Astrological signs. I mean, I read my horoscope from time to time, but I’ve never put much stock into them. Until I started paying attention to my Hubbs’ Virgo personality: Tidy. Sensitive. Analytical. Logical. Grounded. Keeps feelings inside. Respectful. Dependable, predictable and loyal. And mine (Gemini): Independent. Easily bored. [...]
“I’m Gay”
Remember when personalized license plates came out? I do and I’ll tell you why. I was a teen, living a country girl’s dream down on the family farm. It was summertime and my days were spent riding my horse, swimming in the lake, and hanging with my cousins. (When I wasn’t pulling weeds, cleaning the [...]

What I would tell her, that determined college girl … is that love, real love, is rarely found after 2:00 a.m. What I would tell her, that young [...]
My arms hurt
From an afternoon spent in the bookstore and what an excellent adventure it was! One afternoon last week I took some used books to a local book store; setting my books on the counter, I wandered off while the book lady perused my items. I forgot to pick up a basket and instead carried a [...]
Sparkle on!
It occurred to me recently that I have always loved sparkly things. I remember lovingly stroking the sequins sewn into our Figure Skating costumes and smiling with delight when my role dictated a turquoise, purple or fuchsia ensemble. I remember smoothing back the fringes on my suede cowboy jacket and feeling the weight of them [...]

Numbers and friends
The helpful people at WordPress.com put together an annual report for my blog. Nifty-neato . A few highlights: The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 38,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 14 sold-out performances for [...]
