First of all- Happy 4th of July Marta. :)
Your blog looks great. Such warm and inviting colours.

I don't really think I ever experienced those days. I'm obviously talking about other celebrations like Australia Day or Moomba, but I don't recall my family celebrating so publicly.
Mind you, many many people still take their kids to the parades and public celebrations here and occasionally when I am out and about, I do enjoy seeing the crowds enjoying life.

My kids BTW spend all their time socializing online so I haven't done much to carry on any tradition :-/.

Thanks Marta :)

Hi Lisa,
My family didn't do a lot of public celebrating either. Yet in the early days in Babbitt things were much like I described.

In fact the picture was taken on the fourth of July parade. Me, my brother Al, and sister Paula. LOL bad hair day girlfriend.
xx

Whether I am reading, or writing I am taken out of myself and will return more enlightened. From the magic of the places I have been, the people I have met, and the story that captured me for a while.

My first book, Wee Three: A Mothers Love In Verse, a children’s poetry book, illustrated by Hazel Mitchell, was a collaborative effort and a labor of love. I took the short, sweet verses my grandmother wrote in the nineteen thirty’s for her children and expanded those and added additional verses of my own.

I have been called a prolific and versatile writer. I currently have two children’s poetry books, Wee Three: A Mother's Love in Verse and Innocence and Wonder, two novella's The Between Times, The Choosing, Keeping the Upper Paw: A Cat's Guide to Training Your Human and am completing the prequel to The Between Times. (Darkness Descends). Her novel Dinky: The Nurse Mare’s Foal, based on the true story of my rescue foal and written from his point of view and is enjoyed by both children and adults alike. Dinky: The Nurse Mare's Foal, won best Equine Rescue book at the EQUUS Film Festival, for 2015 and 2016 season.

The Divide Series, takes us into a world that could be, it is a dystopian series that starts with book 1 Darkness Descends, and book 2 The Between Times, it tells the story of a bleak world, where society consists of the poor and the rich and the poor live in squalor, with only a prophecy for hope of a better future. It has a touch of paranormal in its pages.

I have written four adult poetry books and a variety of fantasy and paranormal stories. A few of them are stories that my mother wrote over forty years ago and I finished while others are new and vibrant stories.

I learned that one needed to have a plot and conversation to move the story forward from a particularly bad play I wrote at the age of six. It was the worst play ever written or performed. It was so awful my mother stopped the production after about three minutes.

I currently live on a small farm with my husband, three horses, cats and a green cheeked conjure named Jack. They help me remember to view the world through a child's innocence and keep me young and imaginative.
