Prodigal Pig

Saturday, April 30, 2005

The Pear Trees

Friday, April 29, 2005

Where Are We Going?

Thursday, April 28, 2005

During the move to our new house, the bathroom scales were broken inside. Now they tell me that I weigh a little over one hundred and fifty pounds. This is so untrue that I cannot swallow their declaration. My body … Read more

Everlasting Love

Thursday, April 21, 2005
