At least the easy ones, like the big dipper that was a primary connect-the-dots to resemble its name. To … Continue reading 147. That’s no moon

140. A Violent Trend

March 24, 2021March 28, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

March 14, 2021March 14, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Sunday March 14 2021 You know, a year ago "zoom" was the sound emanating an animated car. Or slang for someone moving nicely through a task - that "she just zoomed along." Now, like other unassuming words that became modern common-speak (such as basic, cancelled, doodle, ghosting, GOAT, and the unfortunate pronoun Karen) we've had … Continue reading 138.

135. Burn Burgers, Not Books

March 4, 2021March 7, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Thursday March 4 2021 Let's face it. I'm a small town midwestern girl with absolutely no dreams about moving to the big city. I like a simple life, comfortable shoes, and friendly dogs. Kinda wholesome, right? Then maybe it's not too unexpected that I have a strong value system about what I feel is right. … Continue reading 135. Burn Burgers, Not Books

132. Potatoes & Parts

February 25, 2021February 28, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ 1 Comment

Thursday February 25 2021 "No, really," I say. "Mr. Potato Head used to be just the parts. You had to supply the potato body, hence the name."

February 5, 2021February 6, 2021 ~ Donna Black-Sword ~ Leave a comment

Friday February 5 2021 "Growing up I always thought that quicksand was going to be a much bigger problem than it turned out to be." Pretty accurate, that, thanks to the TV shows that showed the struggle of battling those shifty grains. "Don't struggle," we learned. And "grab onto this," if one was lucky enough … Continue reading 130. Sandy McQuickSand
