I Miss My Office

Posted on April 24, 2024 by Linda

For the past few weeks, I’ve been camped out with my MacBook and assorted piles of paper on a stool at my kitchen counter where I relocated from my woman cave. I have an office. I consider myself blessed to have had a room of my own for most of my adult life. It’s where…

In Search of Slippers

Posted on August 29, 2023 by Linda
