After my longest absence to date– I am back again.

I left you dangling with my girl in Spain. She came home safe and sound. Her birthday came and went– without a post or a picture. She’s 13. My birthday came and went. I’m older by a lot.

We are in Door County, Wisconsin. We– is my mother, my daughter, N., partner M. I am trying to relax while also exercising, writing, thinking about my next job and attending to my family. I will write of some of my recent adventures soon and will post pictures.

I am reading two southern stories of race and gender told from the point of view of young white females–

To Kill a Mockingbird

and

The Secret Life of Bees

.

And I return with stories to tell which I will begin again tomorrow or the next or the next day after that.
