100 Word Challenge: Anger

December 18, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 4 Comments

My son and I were chatting the other day - telling each other about what our day. I told him that I had come upon a strange occurrence when driving home from running errands. Cop cars… a dozen or more with lights flashing, all assembled at the head of a side road that led to … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Anger

100 Word Challenge: Faith

December 12, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 4 Comments

When I was a kid, unless I was practically dead, I went to church every Sunday morning. Once I was too old for the children’s sermon, where we wee kiddies would gather on the steps to the altar and sit in rapt fascination while Reverend imparted an age-appropriate homily. We got to leave the sanctuary … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Faith

100 Word Challenge: Calm

December 4, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 6 Comments

It’s been two weeks since I’ve posted, maybe longer, I don’t know… time has practically come to a stop.

We selected the colors and styles we wanted then made an appointment to pick them up a few days later. It was … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Simple

November 7, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

I have a lifelong obsession with books… mayhap I should more accurately say addiction. In my house, between my husband, children and myself, we have close to 1000 books. That’s correct, four figures. Enough to open our own small bookshop. Add to that another 360+ ebooks… well, you can see the problem. I just turned … Continue reading 100 Word Challenge: Obsession

Out of the Darkness 2019

October 24, 2019 ~ Tara R. ~ 3 Comments

Last week’s storm was pretty much a non-starter. We got some cloud cover, a spitting of rain but no wind to speak of. Inland states were affected more by Tropical Storm Nestor than the Florida Panhandle. There was no run on a stark grocery stores. My neighbors weren’t in a panic trying to stock up … Continue reading Out of the Darkness 2019
