Scrabbling

Not scrambling... Scrabbling. You can find the game of Scrabble in many forms online. Recently, I came across it as "Words With Friends" on Facebook. I made the mistake of clicking on it to see what this game was all about, since I saw multiple friends playing it. I saw it was Scrabble and quickly

Looking at Life

Someone said to me recently, "You have four kids, a full time job, and you write? I don't know how you do it.

Where I Am, Where I've Been
