Like a lot of people I am decorating for the holidays. And like a lot of people I have inherited the family decorations and I have to sort and decide what to keep, what to store, what to use, and how I want to use it. It is ridiculously emotional and exciting all at the…
Read MoreTwo Dragons
Tyme and Scor were both newly mature dragons, searching for a territory, hoping to build their first nests.

Thanksgiving Toast
Raise a glass to family and friends, even those we may never see again. To everyone near and far who hold us together in one way or another, we give our gratitude and a thought, to some a silent prayer. We need one another in ways we cannot explain, to cope with the snow and…

Mating Bond
As the planet chooses partners based on complementary strengths and talents, compatibility, and other factors, it is hard to imagine anyone rejecting the bond.
