TOGETHER
Not your simple pasta.
White flour, semolina, eggs, water, olive oil
basil, pine nuts, garlic, parmigiano reggiano cheese.
Grapes grown by many, wine made by many,
sold to many, to be able to buy the beautiful ingredients
Ingredients from people in other places,
brought to us by a combination of people in other places.
All of those people were a part of the preparation of our supper.
BACK TO ONE BLOG
My friend and fellow blogger, Louise, was writing about having more than one blog the other day. I have done time with one blog and more than one blog. I tend to stay with one most of the time. It’s fun, to me, to play and make more blogs. However i always come to the conclusion, after time that keeping up with more than one is not an easy task. Of course, going back to one blog calls for some new template fun.
ADDITION
It’s not a matter of stopping one thing as much as it is a matter of adding something new.

Dancing Priest
A novel by Glynn Young
This is a story.
A story of
the many faces of what we call love
and places it can take us.
A story of
people that will seem familiar to you.
A story of
life and loss,
friendship and faith,
family and trust.
What more could i want?
Just one thing.
I want to see it made into a movie.
