Sometimes the best small joys are those under-appreciated odd talents. My odd talent is my ability to find something in an over-crowed, unorganized refrigerator!
What’s your odd talent?

The above photo is our granddaughter Taylor. 2020 is the year of Taylor’s high school graduation. She couldn’t wait for her senior soccer season, senior prom, senior trip, graduation ceremony, and the list goes on. Covid-19 changed all that, but after a few weeks at home, feeling sad, Taylor decided it was time to make…
My husband Neil and I just returned from a wonderful cruise to the Caribbean — a much needed break from cold winter days and also a respite from our daily parent-care work. Our ship was the Regal Princess, and we joined two couples we’d hit it off with on a previous cruise — Dorothy and…
Yep, I know. Dr. Seuss is getting a bad rap right now. I did a little research on my own. (Better than believing everything you’re told!) And yes, I found some objectionable political cartoons in his past, done during WWII. Also some illustrations in his books that could have been more politically correct. As a…
In my current novel (Working title: HORSES OF THE WEST SUN, previously BONE FIRE), I based the houses of the River People on the rectangular, semi-subterranean dwellings used by the Dudeşti people who settled in what is now Romania during the sixth millennium B.C. These houses are built to endure rain and cold weather. By…
Our granddaughter works in an assisted living home. One morning, as she helped an elderly patient dress for day, she realized he was in an exuberant mood. Because of Covid-19 restrictions, she knew he wouldn’t have any visitor’s, so she asked, “And what are you so excited about this morning?” His answer? “Today they mow…
Have you ever managed to catch one of those rare photos that tell a story simply through a visual image? My husband Neil and I were out walking when I happened to look down and see this. It’s not staged. It’s exactly as we saw it, and I snapped a photo. Did you ever take…

That’s a wonderful talent, Ans. I wish I had that gift. Please stay safe, Dear Friend!
What a beautiful talent, Paula!!
My small joy/talent is that there is almost always a bit of wild flower/ weed in a vase in my home <3
My fridge looks like yours
Maybe my odd talent is to connect with people were ever I go.
Without speaking Italian asking for battery for my camera and getting it.
On the Azoren Islands talking to the taxi-driver were to find us because we got lost.
On the ferry in Brasil speaking to other passengers or on the salar the Uyuni talking with the guide who was taking good care of us also because of high altitude sickness you might become.
Stay safe Sue
I love to meet other people.
