Out on the Porch

Since moving into this townhouse in Purcellville, I’ve spent lots of time in various parts of the house. In the kitchen, cooking and cleaning – Oh, the joy of cooking again! And I never thought I’d be happy to clean a kitchen, but seeing it sparkling and pretty makes me happy. The dining room, atContinueContinue reading “Out on the Porch”

Phantom Riders

Looking through my old writings, I happened upon this extremely rough poem I jotted down a few years ago. But I thought you might enjoy it anyway.

A Day out Shopping

What girls don’t like to go out shopping for a day? Especially when it is a holiday, and college classes are canceled. First, of course, comes the preparation. One must get ready for a day out shopping – not just leave. There is the outfit to pick out – not too casual, not too formal.ContinueContinue reading “A Day out Shopping”

A Day At the Movies

A couple friends and I went to see a movie tonight. We found inexpensive seats at a somewhat rundown, family owned and operated, small-town theater. My friends were quite astounded that this movie theater had only two rooms to show movies. I was astounded that a small town theater had two rooms. The theater backContinueContinue reading “A Day At the Movies”
