Once again, our shared story from the bar is somewhat inspired by Linda G. Hill and her Stream of Consciousness Saturday prompt. Linda couldn’t have known that our favorite bartender has a sweet tooth and a sharing spirit, but she still pitched us a softball with: “Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is...

Tomorrow is Opening Day! Go ahead, google that. You don’t need to add ‘MLB’ or ‘Baseball’ – ‘Opening Day’ works fine. America’s pastime.

I’m sure by now most of my regular readers know that my weekend routine includes a walk with Maddie. You’re also aware that I take as many photos as the dog will allow. What you may not know is that I like to imagine the conversations the birds and squirrels might be having. If that... Continue Reading →
This is Maddie talking, and this post is mine.
