March 1, 2016 by Carol 7 Comments

  Two of a Kind Part 10 Yes I know. My head is bowed in shame—not really, but it sounds melodramatic and literary—-I have left Melanie, Eleanor and Porter hanging in limbo.   You know sometimes I amaze even myself—Lol—-I wrote’ limbo and—instant flashback of dancing under the limbo stick.  Oh my!

Wild Goose Mama Food Stories–Two of a Kind Part 8

October 25, 2015 by Carol 15 Comments

As I sat at the kitchen table savoring my morning coffee and watching the sun slide into view for a new day, I marveled a week had elapsed since Melanie had come to stay with me.   My initial angst of what I was going to do with a child for two weeks melted as quickly as an ice… [read more]

Wild Goose Mama On The Fly—Picnic Baskets Galore #5

August 16, 2015 by Carol 8 Comments

A decade or more ago I saw a PBS special about Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.   I didn’t deliberately turn the TV on for it.   Pittsburgh—come on—-gotta be some depressing story about a steel town which never recovered.  Boy howdy was I wrong.  By the end of the special I was soooooooooo impressed and intrigued.  Since then I’ve always… [read more]
