Blue Jeans Writer

Just call me the Blue Jeans Writer. I’m more comfortable in a pair of jeans than anything else, have been since I was pre-teen. In summer, it’s tee shirt and jeans. In winter, it’s sweatshirt and jeans. This morning, the temperature is a chilly forty-seven degrees, so back to my dear old warm sweatshirts. Ah-h, […]

September’s Song

Hey, all you September people, this is your month to shine, and why not shine with the lovely sapphire as your birthstone! Sapphire! It means fidelity, leadership, and angelic realms. Wow!
