A Napa Writer's Open Door. November 7, 2011. Alice sat alone in the boat, the sun drying her skin to leather. Her roommates evidently felt no need to see she was entertained while they enjoyed the Maui waters. “You’ll love snorkeling,” they’d assured her. But they were wrong. Alice hated anything to do with being in water, other than showers, of course. “Sure […]. Read more →. Gardens of the Past. WE Writers of Napa Valley. Xochi E. Dixon.

Recently, the gardener moved one of them from where it spread across the back fence, to a shady spot under our bedroom window.

Do Overs — A Napa Writer's Open Door
http://www.patsyanntaylor.com/2011/12/10/do-overs
A Napa Writer's Open Door. By Patsy Ann Taylor. December 10, 2011. What was once my future is now my past. Writing Memoir lets me relive parts of my life. The well-meaning weren’t always right. Had I obeyed, how would I have known the thrill of swinging with my knees locked around a tree branch? Jumping off the playhouse roof, throwing rocks and hitting what I aimed for. Sometimes blood was involved. Mine or my brother’s. Bruises, sprained ankles, dirty knees and elbows, ripped hems....Reading my aunt...

A Napa Writer's Open Door. By Patsy Ann Taylor. December 25, 2011. Coffee perking in the chrome pot. Makes waking early bearable. Scents of oak and lemon fire wood. Compete with tinsel wrapped pine. Since first light our kids have waited. To hear the crinkle of holiday wrap. Shreds of tissue drift like confetti. Just what I wanted. Later, cinnamon cake. Fresh from the oven. Stirs up hunger we calmed. Dishes rattle as we pour a second cup. Cream and sugar too. It’s Christmas, live it up. Xochi E. Dixon.

A Napa Writer's Open Door. By Patsy Ann Taylor. March 4, 2012. Blarney Castle, County Cork, Ireland.

Kissing the Blarney Stone as one of the goals, we made our way to County Cork, Ireland, home of the famous rock. Previous post: Happy Holiday. Next post: Gardens of the Past. Gardens of the Past.
