Stick something through the opening in the door to trip the lock? Nope Dig a hole under the door in the gravel floor with a little piece of metal I found? Possible, but it would take about 127 hours. Or I would make the hole too small and get stuck half-way out. Holler for help? July 1, 2011 at 12:59 PM. Subscribe t...

http://mariletasblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/plug-for-chautauqua.html
The View from my Porch. Friday, December 10, 2010. A Plug for Chautauqua. To find out how to apply. It's not hard. Maybe this is the year you'll be able to invest in your dream. December 11, 2010 at 9:51 PM. Are you still teaching workshops for them? December 15, 2010 at 6:31 PM. Ive attended Chautauqua twice. I loved it so much the first time, I cried when the week was over. In 2007 I worked with Candace Fleming and Patti Lee Gauch, and in 2009, Alvina Ling and Stephen Roxburgh. I Thought my Father Was ...

The View from my Porch: April 2010
http://mariletasblog.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
The View from my Porch. Wednesday, April 7, 2010. The view from my porch is pure heaven this morning! Nature accidentally shipped us some weeks of May in April. The air is make-you-want-to-run-around-the-yard warm and smells extra rich with oxygen. Sequins of dew glisten in the grass. Trees wear new-baby fuzz of green and rose. The birds whistle to each other, enjoying the view from their own porches. And here I sit, queen of all I survey, pecking on Minnie, my lovable laptop. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

The View from my Porch. Friday, February 26, 2010. And here's the view from my porch now. Both of my uncles live very much in the present, but for at least a little while, the past became alive and touchable. I thank them for that gift. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

It was a beautiful tree and a good friend to you and to the birds and animals who found refuge there. Yes, there is always a place in the heart to keep the memory of a loved one.

The View from my Porch: The Night of the Frogs
http://mariletasblog.blogspot.com/2011/10/night-of-frogs.html
The View from my Porch. Friday, October 21, 2011. The Night of the Frogs. I was lying on my cot in my hogan. The darkness of the northern Arizona desert lay around me. No light came through the smoke hole from the overcast sky. In the stillness I heard a strange, worrying sound. Aaa-haaa. Aaa-haaa. Aaa-haaa. This happened several years ago, when I was teaching on the Navajo reservation. It has always amused me and reminded me how our imaginations can play tricks on us.). October 22, 2011 at 7:15 AM.

The View from my Porch. Wednesday, January 20, 2010. I have some good news to share! Heinemann Publishers bought a story from me for their Leveled Literacy Intervention program- for a series of short books for 5th graders reading at a lower level, and they are interested in seeing more. So I'm feeling quite content at the moment. I seem to be getting back on track to being a writer. You can find out more about the book here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).
