Mystery and Humor Writer Ann Philipp. The Cadillac at the curb mocked me. I wanted to go over and kick the stupid thing, but I’d probably break a toe. I paid the taxi driver and stepped out of the cab. My front door swung open, and Mrs. Betty Butterfield’s small pudgy frame jogged across the lawn, her arms open wide. Two steps from me she stopped abruptly and folded up like a bat taking a siesta. Dear Patricia, what a traumatic experience, she said. How are you? I reeked of eau de jail cell. I slid into ...

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.

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...

Tag Archives: paast lives. When Sam cleared customs at the Mexico City airport, lugging the promised suitcase along with his own bulging duffle, I had already fallen into the easy groove of Spanish classes, cooking, and lively cultural exchanges at. And settled comfortably at the Maldonaldo’s home with Parsley, my twelve-year-old German Shepherd. This is why I’d come to Mexico, I thought to decode my night-time dreams. I wanted to dig my ancient roots, uncover a recondite heritage within my blood....

My Travels in Mexico. Colonia Cuauhtémoc →. April 14, 2009. Originally uploaded by Mod Mike. Las Torres de Satélite fade out of the haze as our plane cuts through the yellow smoke blanketing Mexico City. Memories rush back to me a deluge of nostalgia: Chocolatte was born here. My two Fernandos from Tlalnepantla. Can I find my way to Casa Gonzalez behind the Embassy in Colonia Cuauhtémoc? We turn right and look for our entry into the embassy district but end up circling “winged victory” at Rio...I visited...
