Kottage Katie

I am a child of the sixties and Disney, a wife of forty plus years, mother of one, a son, on a journey of his own. I retired from Teaching in 2002, all but one year in a first grade classroom, learning as much from them as they from me. I love music, my family, reading books, spending time with friends, my home, playing piano, crocheting, swimming, and watching HGTV. I do not like pickles, motorcycles, hot weather, travel, and whining. Writing is my new adventure. We'll see how it goes.

Protecting the Homefront

Now here is an unlikely picture, but somehow chosen on this Memorial Day. I'm not a gun person. I was even surprised to find it among the boxes I'm going through in the rec room. My dad took me to Clear Lake when I was about twelve. . .to shoot ducks. . .I cried so hard he never again asked me to shoot anything. And he didn't hunt anything either.

We talked about going to the cemetery today. Tomorrow is Memorial Day. If our son needs our help tomorrow, that's where we'll be. Protecting the homefront, the family. No guns, just loving hearts, puzzling over some of Life's events.
