Quarantine Restaurant

tonight’s dinner win:

Hungarian paprikash

with homemade spätzle

But I’m so Cute

dear Daddy: i’m here.

pay attention to me, please.

(love you more than food)

Never. Ends.

today’s word: defeat

i should have stayed on pillows

and accepted it

Tikka Masala for the Win

it is not easy

to replicate restaurants

alas, we shall try

this quarantine brings

a new love for my kitchen

(lucky to have it)

even Bruce ate it

without a single worry

(there was no curry!)

Even Kitty Creates Art

my little artist

(not so little anymore)

always new designs

creating Christmas

from the tree to ornaments

all hand-made with love

Senior Year Milestone One

dream school acceptance

in the midst of this nightmare

that’s 2020

what next, i wonder?

how will we survive all this

with all that we face?

the box comes early

before breath has settled us

into this next step

Love Growls

pup got his hair cut

and is a grinning puff ball

though he is chagrined

It’s All in the Sauce

just a small difference:

American leftovers

versus Honduran

Calm After Storm

blue sky autumn day

blue as our new president

not perfect, but. still.

Quaranturkey

work interrupted

my man carving the turkey

so my boy stepped in

my girls made the pies

and set the grateful table

(we made this loss work)

just the six of us

celebrating our health

in a health-hell year
