Housekeeping

THE IMPORTANT:   It’s MommyPie’s 40th birthday!   MommyPie was the first person to e-mail me after I launched San Diego Momma, and was so warm and funny that I’ve been following her blog ever since.

Too Much Talent for My Little Blog

Thank you to those who participated in PROMPTuesday. I loved reading your poems and am wowed and cowed by your lyrical talent. (Here’s a little PROMPTuesday background.)   Thanks also to the people who read the poems, left comments, and laughed surreptitiously.   If you missed it, check out the nonsense poem submissions here: Greormeoeprkeadocious.…Continue Reading
