When I was little, there was a family down the street that had basset hounds. We always had hounds because my dad was a hunter, but we never had a basset hound. We would drive by their house and the dogs would be just hanging out in their driveway. I always loved them and dreamed … Continue reading Wonder Dogs
We went out on a little family shopping trip to the mall today. New sneakers for Wes and Charlie. A young guy working in the hip sneaker shop told me he liked my sneakers. He said he hadn't seen any like those. I'm pretty sure unique is cool in the world of sneakers. Afterwards, I … Continue reading Leading lady
I've been thinking about this blog and my patterns with writing for it. I always write at the end of the day. My days start early, between 4 and 5 a.m. and I typically sit down to write at 7:00 p.m. My brain is tired. I've noticed I am more free and open with what … Continue reading Kind lady.

Tonight he said he'd like to make a coffee mug, but he doesn't drink coffee. In fact, he very rarely drinks any kind of hot drink. I've watched a few of the … Continue reading Beauty

I have been staring at this screen for 30 minutes. I have written a bunch of sentences and deleted them. I'm tired today. I'm giving myself a break. I want to share this photo I took the other day from the end of my driveway. That red barn has horse stalls in it. The wood … Continue reading Red Barn
Some days when I sit down at the end of the day to write here, I think, What the heck am I doing? And I think, This is kind of weird, Pam. You're telling people you don't know lots of personal stuff. Do they really want to hear about what you do on a daily … Continue reading Possibility
In the North Country of New Hampshire, when it hits above 40 degrees after a long cold winter, it's officially spring. People were out walking. People were driving with their windows down. I think if the ice cream shop was open today, you would have seen people lined up for a cone. I went to … Continue reading Saturday, March 20, 2021
I"m in New Hampshire for a few days by myself. Christian is in Massachusetts with the boys. We have a new old home here in New Hampshire. We found our new old home last fall. It's an in-town New Englander, as they call it, built in 1860. The last few months, we've been having some … Continue reading Friday, March 19, 2021
