I joined Instagram in August 2012. Mostly I posted photos of my pets and my backyard, with some occasional selfies. It was fun. I’m more of a content curator than a creator – I do create.

Sue was acting as the messenger of many local LGBTQ stories […]
December 29, is our ‘blogiversary’ – we set up this shop on December 29, 2005 from the attic of our home. 14 years later, we’ve been promoted to the sofa in the living room. Click here to see our first seven years archive in its original format thanks to the magic of html. My first […]
Daily Prompt: Do you have a tattoo? If so, what’s the story behind your ink? If you don’t have a tattoo, what might you consider getting emblazoned on you skin? I do not have a tattoo. When I was in my late twenties, I proclaimed that I would get a tattoo to celebrate turning 30. […]
