Update on Life in a Tiny House
Now I don’t want to mislead you, we are not back in the tiny house, nor any kind of tiny house. That is, our house might be considered small if you live in an average American house of nearly 2700 square feet. We come in somewhere around 1300 square feet, but it is not tiny.…Read more Update on Life in a Tiny House
Coming to Pennsylvania
Johannah studied the fire as though the flames reaching up into the chimney would tell her what she wanted to know. She whispered the words, the ones she heard from the hiss of the peat as it breathed into the darkness: John will be alright, one day you will all be together again, John and…Read more Coming to Pennsylvania

What shall I give Him?
We lived in Monroeton, a tiny town in Bradford County, when I was a little girl. My mom ran a restaurant on the main street and though truckers might eat their lunch or supper down the road, they always stopped at mom’s for pie. Or so I was told. I think I was about three…Read more What shall I give Him?
