Puzzling the Pieces and Feeling Like Home

By Sandra, on November 17th, 2011%

We’ve gone to the family room to Skype them in, the friends from the Netherlands.

Saturday Snaps: The Praying Mantis

By Sandra, on September 17th, 2011%

Glimpse the grin, green metal mug
at masks the pseudo-saintly bug . . .

And faintly whisper, Lord deliver us.
