"Home is where the heart is, even if you can't remember what box you packed it in." ~ Unknown Packing up a life, especially one that has spanned 16 years in the same house, is difficult.

"My future was a blank slate, and only I could write on it." ~ Carter Quinn I don't know what the future holds. I'm neither a seer or a psychic. I don't read cards, tea leaves or palms. I don't put stock in horoscopes altho they are good for a giggle. Life is a blank … Continue reading Blank Slate

"They've promised that dreams can come true -- but forgot to mention that nightmares are dreams, too. ~ Oscar Wilde Dreams can be wonderful. Funny. Romantic. Weird. Delicious, even.
