#ThursdayDoors — To a New Interactive Serial

Thursday, March 3, 2023 Welcome to my sanctuary, everyone.  A decade ago, I made my “brand” in the blogosphere by writing serial stories.

#ThursdayDoors to Memory — Places in our Memories, with Judith Barrow

Thursday, September 15, 2022 Earlier this week, author Judith Barrow shared a post she invited me to do for her blog series, “Places in Our Memories.”  Her questions about personal recollections somehow brought to mind old amusement parks.
