Curly and the Bee
Last night, I was stung by a bee. In the car, while my Bee was driving. I was stung by a bee in the dark at 7pm in mid-October in the car on the side of my leg just below…
Pumpkins, Ghosts, and Spiderwebs
When I got to work this morning I was greeted outside by a barefoot, pajama clad very-nearly-three-year-old who very eagerly asked if we could put up Halloween decorations. Her mom had purchased them about a week ago, and this little…
