Parenting chills...

Last week Joan linked to a telling at Jaded Haven
that gave me chills, even as a non-parent.
I made one attempt at step-parenting that might
be future blog fodder. I have nothing but respect for
those who chose that path.

And, I just noticed that Gia, one of the famous
Haiku Challengers at Sparrow's, was surprised with
a birthday party for her 5-0-th. Give good wishes.
She is a beautiful lady, mom, grandma and dispatcher.
