Double Pensee

Duty

Snow boots
sturdy and warm
wait for winter patiently
at the back of the hall closet
in the middle of June.

Good wife
sturdy and true
busy in trivial works
in the kingdom of hearth and home
wonders if it's been enough.

About Me

Wife for 35 years (married 8.30.1977) to a wonderful man. I am blessed to have him love me.

Bragging rights:

Three beautiful, smart kids who I love with all my heart. But they live so far away! One in Washington state, one in Alabama and one in Ohio (the closest but still four hours up the road). I really, really wish someone would invent the "beam me up Scotty" device so I could visit whenever I want - though my kids might have some thoughts on that : )

What I Do:

After stifling my desire to write for many years, I finally took a deep breath and plunged into the deep end of the pool. Sink or swim is my motto, so far I'm treading water and staying afloat. With the encouragement and mentoring of a friend, Sal Buttaci, I am writing poetry once again, and better, though by no means what I hope it to be one day.
