Some happy events from my week: yesterday our oldest son treated me to lunch downtown. I had spicy chicken mole (no, not the animal mole, LOL, it is pronounced mo lay and is a chocolate and spices Mexican sauce), fancy polenta cooked in a pie type crust with whole kernels of corn in it and a lightly dressed mixed lettuce salad with pepitas in it. I watched two of my friends sing and dance in our local Follies, songs from the 1930s and 40s and a patriotic tribute appreciated all the more since it was on Sept. 11. Publishers sent me a copy of The Gem magazine which arrived at my house, with my poem "She Walked Alone" in it, and a check. The July 20, 2014 issue.
The weather is great too, from 70 to 85, so I am counting my blessings. And when God sends rain I will count that as another huge blessing.
Congratulations on the published poem (and the check)!
ReplyDeleteThose roses are gorgeous.
The skunk is cute, at least outside!

ReplyDeleteTerra,
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, that's a skunk? I've never seen one that close. The pink roses are so pretty. And my mom used to make chicken mole all the time. It was so delicious. Thanks for visiting Terra. I'm so tired with moving into our new place, and I wanted to take a little break and take some pictures and visit my friends.
love,
