I have a real longing for my grandfather’s grapes. When I was little, we would go out in the vineyards on my great-grandparent’s property and pick grapes.

Ahhh, this bread looks so delicious. And the joy you get from making it and sharing it comes through loud and clear. After many years of cooking, I don’t think I’ve gotten to the point of finding it sensuous, sexy, and hot but I do find it very sexy when my husband is doing the [...]

For Memoir Prompt: Feeling Different – This prompt extended another week. Being as quiet as I was growing up, there were many, many instances where I felt left out or like I didn’t fit in.

We don’t always realize, do we, the impact we have on others. That really came across to me in this piece, Karen. And, like Bev, it made me really curious and wanting to know more.
