Atlanta has been having some awfully lovely sunsets, of late. The kind that stop you in your tracks, that stretch as far as you can see from edge to edge: salmons and blues, corals and pinks, bright gold and turquoise. Each a marvel this week. But I’ll tell you: one stopped me in my tracks. [...]

Toot my Horn ( another revisit)
It took all the gumption I have, plus encouragement from both my sisters and my partner, but I did it by golly! I tooted my horn all over the place today. I have been tinkering with an idea for awhile. Rolling around in my mind. Playing with it. But I never let the idea out [...]
