1. “Mama, Mama! Look! Mama! Mama! Window. Window.” Anthony pretends the chair back is a window. 2. “I aim to misbehave” Lucia got this t-shirt from Grandma Pat, a diehard Browncoat. 3. Self portrait by Bella. Look what...
My ability to write seems to have dried up. I just can’t find the mental space for it somehow. Perhaps it’s that trying to figure out a new routine is taking up all my resources. I’m finding time to read, but writing, not so much...
