In Today’s News We Bring You Potty Training 101- Day 5?

Good morning. As you all know, we’ve been following a story about a precocious little two year old and her family’s efforts to potty train her.

Re-Blogging for feedback…

This is an excerpt from a short story I wrote a while back. I posted it in April 2015 and I decided to repost it today to see what type of feedback it receives. Not to worry, the brains behind Runaway Nuns and Leprechauns are NOT nestled inside the heads of crazy people, but…

“Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge” The Forgotten Outhouse

I took this photo a few weeks ago when I visited my childhood hometown. I struggled to get a good shot of it, through the thick bushes that have taken over, as my daughter watched for snakes and cheered me on. Perhaps I will return in the winter and get another shot after the…

Aunt Maggie’s power outage
