Getting Acquainted
I spend most of my time playing alpha female for my pack of dogs. Lucy (Boston terrier), Harley (chihuahua). Hershey (miniature dachshund) and Jasper (standard schnauzer) are my entertainment and sometimes muses. Jasper is a puppy mill rescue dog and I'm in the intital stages of writing a series of vignettes of his life since the rescue contrasted with eduaction about rescues and puppy mills. I do actually have other interests than writing and my dogs. I love to scrapbook, watch ice hockey, listen to a variety of music genres and reading. My parents both were avid readers and passed that love on to me. I'll read a cereal box if you set it in front of me!
Home For Christmas
Home For Christmas

Red berries adorn bare limbs
of my childhood home.
It's Christmastime!
Family gathers like
grey geese to frozen pond.
Silver snow ushers
bright holiday sweaters
to green wreaths door.
Windows glow outward
gold light frames
smiling faces.
Family, friends
I will miss
because I won't be
home for Christmas.
