Journaling since 1974. I'm an artist, book lady, and quilter living at the beach with a car guy. We wait out the pandemic in our little condo above the beach. Having been homeless in the 70's, the car guy and I truly appreciate where we are today.

AFTER in Postcards 4
Tidy, much more so now. Thread is mixed in with the books as are pens and those ever useful measuring implements. My desk is a bit more of a mess with loose papers here and there topped by m...
GO TO in Postcards 4
There’s a chill breeze blowing up from the beach. Breakfast was cereal, and lunch was childish…a peanut butter sandwich. I revel in the normalcy of it all. Just to make life even kinder, the...

NO MEMORY in Postcards 4

AN HIMSELF KIND OF DAY in Postcards 4
At one PM last night. I got up to go to the toilet. Yes, I tripped over the rug. And yes, trip altered our whole night and day. I fell onto the toilet. Water rushed out and flooded the bath...
WE DON'T ALL LOOK ALIKE in Postcards 4
