I am a single woman of a certain age. My aunt, who was married for 17 years, has been divorced and single for almost 40 years now. When we get to talking about finances, or yard work, or car repair, or just about anything where a husband would come in handy, she says to me, "Kathy, we are just poor women alone in the world." That description, though accurate, makes me laugh. We may sometimes feel like we are alone in the world, but we are, in fact, quite blessed to be part of a large extended family that for the most part gets along with one another and laughs a lot together. We are also blessed to have friends and relatives who care about us.
This blog will probably be a blend of family stories, life observations, and some semifictional writing that I'm playing around with.
