  • Rodriguez, Amy.JPG My blending project

    When I got divorced, I was certain that I would never get married again. Not only was I not interested in putting up with another man, but the divorce rate for second marriages is even higher than the rate for first marriages.

    On one side of the stair rail, two chubby legs kicked up and down as if in a swimming pool. On the other side, a tear-stained, reddened face howled for help.

  • 07-22-09 sorrells, Amy.JPG Untangling the Kudzu for a new school year

    While walking the dogs on a country road the other day, I noticed a for sale sign on a lot hidden behind an overgrowth of vines and brush. The vague imprint of tire tracks nearby reminded me a house was visible on the lot a few short months ago. Gray, dilapidated and abandoned, nature totally disguised the house from sight after just one summer of neglect.
