Gentle Grace

Gentle Grace

We walk into the business expo just as things are getting into full swing. “Don’t worry, it will be a small, laid-back affair”, he had said to reassure me that I didn’t need to change out of the jeans and cardigan I was wearing. Sigh. The place is filled to… Continue Reading Gentle Grace

I’m a Sucker…for some things

I’m a Sucker…for some things

Titanic was on television this afternoon. I don’t watch much television, but I curled up under some blankets (4 to be exact), and watched it from beginning to end, complete with annoying commercials. Hollywood flicks just aren’t usually my bag, but sometimes, sometimes I just like the sheer enormity of… Continue Reading I’m a Sucker…for some things

On Account of Adrienne

On Account of Adrienne

She never wanted to be a mother. Never wanted to be a wife. She had been an unusual girl, disinterested in dolls, barbies, or games of “house”. The closest she had ever gotten was the castle she got as a Christmas gift one year. It became a beloved object to… Continue Reading On Account of Adrienne

Doris Lessing and the Feminists

Doris Lessing and the Feminists

Doris Lessing never liked being aligned with feminist writings and had this to say about it: What the feminists want of me is something they haven’t examined because it comes from religion. They want me to bear witness. What they would really like me to say is, ‘Ha, sisters, I… Continue Reading Doris Lessing and the Feminists

I’m Gonna Miss This Place

I’m Gonna Miss This Place

Tonight is my last night in my Smith apartment. I’m going to miss it. The french doors, the hardwood floors, the windows (oh the windows), the nifty oldstyle ironing board that comes out of a small closet in the kitchen, the front porch where many fond memories were forged, the… Continue Reading I’m Gonna Miss This Place

I want…I want

I want…I want

I’m lusting for craftsmanship I can’t afford. I don’t care much for material things for the sake of having them…for the sake of show or keeping up with the Joneses. But I do have expensive taste when it comes to craftsmanship. My mother used to say I could pick out… Continue Reading I want…I want
