So much has happened lately. I went to the Wisconsin Dells with my family for a week and just got back. I took a tumble while I was there. My third one, hitting my head as usual. I’m ok. Hudson had his best life (for now) there.

On his first plane ride

At the lakeshore, on boats, at deer park, and especially the WAWEE PARK!
We had a baby mourning dove (so cute) rescue at the house before we left for Wisconsin. I hope he’s doing well at Liberty Wildlife!
Kathryn Kulpa of Cleaver Magazine interviewed me about Scrap.

And LatinosUSA-English Edition has published two of my ekphrastic tanka sequences.
I still have lots of unpacking and email catching up and I am SO TIRED. Living with a 2-year-old for a week hahahahahaha.



Two-year-olds can do that to you. But you’ll recover in a little while.
Haha, I don’t know about “a little while.” Maybe a week?! He doesn’t stop go go going!
Two weeks with a 2-year-old! I sure appreciate Kathryn’s questions and your backstory answers.
Ah, thanks so much, Joy. Hah I had forgotten how wound up toddlers can get! When he stays with us, he’s much calmer.
A week with a toddler? You have more energy than I do. I bet it was fun though.
