I know teachers are not supposed to have favorites. Still, I have three. I wrote about one back in November and had plans to write about the others. Funny how time gets away, eh?

Ruth’s Memoir Monday: A Place
When we first started Two Writing Teachers, we kept it private for a bit. We wrote and analyzed, wrote and discussed, wrote and tweaked and wrote some more. Then we launched it. One of my first entries was about a special place. So when Stacey challenged a Memoir Monday about a place, I was reminded… Continue reading Ruth’s Memoir Monday: A Place

Ruth’s SOLSC: Keeping Company.
Sunday morning the little voice came to me through the monitor, "Momma, I'm uuuupppp." Since I was single-parenting-it (due to some massive sporting event in Indy that my husband was attending) and had just stepped out of the shower I thought, You're going to have to waaaaait.

Yummy Crepe Toppings Originally uploaded by teachergal We were walking around Newport on Saturday and Marc started craving, of all things, a crepe, after we passed a small creperie. I said, "I'll make them for you if you come and get ice cream with me." He agreed. On Sunday Morning, when I woke up, I… Continue reading SOLSC: Crepes

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

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.
