(Poetry Month – Week Three) Over As darkness falls, the anticipation builds. The sound cracks in your ears. The boom echoes in your chest. The light flashes and sparkles and shocks your eyes. The ash sprinkles down onto your hair. The fireworks are over. My parent’s private party, The Pig Roast, was held on LaborContinue reading “Over”

The Fog is Here Again
(Poetry Month – Week Two) The fog is here again. You never know when it is coming. You never know how long it will stay, or how much of it there will be. Sometimes it is more mist than fog. Mist you can see through, but everything is fuzzy around the edges. Fog stops yourContinue reading “The Fog is Here Again”
Camp Grandma – Day Seven
Seven days! Wow! Camp Grandma spring 2026 is in the books! The director is exhausted but it’s a joyful exhaustion. To summarize: Camp started on March 30th. Usually, mom is off on Wednesday and dad is off on Thursday but mom, being the boss, had two employees off and had to work on her dayContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Seven”
Camp Grandma – Day Six
Happy Easter!!! The (crazy?) director decided to add a day to camp. At least an evening. After all the festivities today, the director got a hotel room at a hotel with a pool. The campers arrived at the hotel and immediately changed into their swimming suits and off to the pool it was! They playedContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Six”
Camp Grandma – Day Five
As mentioned yesterday, Camp Grandma took a trip to Middletown, Ohio to visit Triple Moon Coffee Company-one of the best coffee shops ever! The campers got chocolate milk-not as fancy as expected because it was busy, but delicious nonetheless. Grilled cheese to eat was a no-brainer. The stretch factor on the cheese was phenomenal! TheContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Five”

The older camper turned nine in March and today his aunt had the day off so she spent it with him in Columbus doing all kinds of cool aunt things. Meanwhile, backContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Four”
I’m Glad I Came
(Poetry Month – Week One) I’m Glad I Came I came So they could see your face in mine. So they could see your smile in mine. And I, in turn, could see you in new faces and in new smiles. I came So I could hear your voice in the wind. So I couldContinue reading “I’m Glad I Came”
Camp Grandma – Day Three
Day three proved to be a fairly low key day-exciting nonetheless! The trip to the grocery on day two fell short. The director forgot to include supplies for making pizza on the list so there was another trip to the grocery needed this morning. Which-turned out to be an awesome thing because at the groceryContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Three”
Camp Grandma – Day Two
Whew! What a first day of camp! The camp director’s knees are feeling it! But we move on! Day two-the campers arrived at about 8:45 a.m. all spunky and excited about using sidewalk chalk in a spray can! (Shout out to 5 Below) The plans for the driveway went from Godzilla to much more simpleContinue reading “Camp Grandma – Day Two”
Poetry Month
Just a quick note. April is poetry month and since I’m a self published poet, what else would I post on my blog in April other than my poetry? Each Thursday I will post a poem and then talk about how I came to write it and what inspired me. If you haven’t subscribed yetContinue reading “Poetry Month”
