Your stories are artwork are fantastic! A young art teacher, Ryan Bentzinger, published a book of his watercolor prints - 'nAMUH', or s 'human' spelled backwards. So far, not a single review at Amazon,

Your artwork is awesome, fun, whimsical, and totally deserving of a more permanent place, in a book, in the hands of a child (or an adult like me who never outgrew toys and children's books)>

LOVE the story of that unexpected, random "I'm listening" from Siri at that time! How I'd love to believe your mom's spirit was able to access tech to let you know she's still with you. My cell

Thanks for the comments and the reminder to reblog. :) No, not gonna tell people "Eat a tomato with your coffee," LOL, but she would suggest a bite of broccoli or leftover roasted cauliflower

Thank you for the upvote!!!!

Raj, you have been prolific - today, finally, I have started to play catch-up. Tiger! Ohhhh Tiger.... Blake's Tyger.... you DREAM you're a tiger! (I want to dream I'm a lion, not lioness, but maned and

I love your reaction - I can always count on you to see something good, fun, or worthy in my stories, however flawed-as-fiction-goes they may be! Glad you didn't see the worst first (Betrayals born of

LOL - I read this after I wrote my own we-write. Grandchildren! I guess they come with the territory of rheumy eyes and rheumatic joints. :) At least the "all" laugh at being the old buffoons...
