end of year reflections.
Here in Indiana, we are wrapping up our school year. That's right, ladies and gentlemen, in ten more happy-wake-ups, school will be out for the summer! Don't the weeks leading up to the end of a school year hold such a grab bag of emotions? At any given point in the day, we can feel… Continue reading end of year reflections.

Ruth’s SOLSC: Lilacs
We traipsed out to the Lilac Bush, near the road. Mom, with a sharp knife in her hand, me with scissors, Steph with sandals that blink with each step, and Sam running ahead then stopping to inspect something on the ground. It is the same journey I've made for years, ever since I could toddle out, following… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLSC: Lilacs

Meme.
Stacey tagged me, so here it goes. 1. The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. 2. Each player answers the questions about themselves. 3. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5-6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them… Continue reading Meme.

photos + words finale.
Let me just say that this week someone is coming to look at our home to see if we will be able to have high speed Internet. Let me also say I may pull my hair out if the answer is NO. You know, I wouldn't consider where I live to be remote, rural, or… Continue reading photos + words finale.

photos + words.
In response to Ali's challenge this week, I've been thinking of stories which represent finding balance in life. This has stretched me as a writer. I find myself renewed by having a project to complete. I find myself looking at the world differently and looking at myself differently. I find myself pulling out my writer's notebook… Continue reading photos + words.

ruth’s solsc: home.
MOM! MOMMY! MOMMA! Three voices. Three expressions. Three times my heart is filled. Am I really a mother of three? Some things just take a bit of adjustment. And then the pitter-patter of feet and the attack of six arms. And I know, deep in my bones that this is what I was made to… Continue reading ruth’s solsc: home.

words + photos reflection.
Stacey (who, in my opinion, is properly hooked on {A}) referenced Ali's words + photo week in a previous post today. I love how different blog posts and thoughts resonate inside of different people. Stacey was inspired to document her day via words and pictures. I, on the other hand, was inspired to look at old scrapbook pages &… Continue reading words + photos reflection.

prompt scoring.
First day back . . . and I had the pleasure of working with all of the 4th & 5th grade teachers in our corporation to SCORE WRITING PROMPTS! (Does the emphasis of the capital letters make it sound all glamorous & fun?) Here's a few things on my mind after a day of scoring… Continue reading prompt scoring.

poetry friday: the dance.
Here's an original for Poetry Friday (held at Big A little a). Tonight we danced -- No music No dance floor No heels We danced through the ritual of bedtime Each knowing the moves Each adjusting to the ever-changing rhythm Catching a brief glance of him over a child's head And my heart swooned… Continue reading poetry friday: the dance.

"Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to be always part of unanimity." -- Christopher Morley Found this quote today & thought it was appropriate… Continue reading happy may.
