website


I'm sitting here watching the huge snow flakes as I wonder if my blog is really drawing anyone to my website.

I need viewers to look at my site; www.windowsillstories.com and critique it for me. I would so appreciate that! I am thinking of removing the WHEEL of ARTS from the site and creating a website just for that. I want to make a CD of the music I have written for the WHEEL. Tell me what you think. I will orchestrate the music with fiddles, pipes, piano, and banjo.

Here is a sample of one of the short stories on the WHEEL.

SATURDAY NITE
Every Saturday night, over at the Grange Hall, there would be a square dance and a covered dish supper. The Grange Hall was a Farmer's Association. Thay had their meetings there and their wives helped out with social happenings in the farm community.
The covered dish suppers were oh, so good - I loved all the casseroles, like Scalloped Corn and Spanish Rice. And the homemade rolls were so good that I ate a lot of them with homemade butter. Then there were all the relishes that had just been put up. I especially liked the piccalilli relish on those rolls. Then the pies - oh the pies - cherry, apple, blueberry - those were my favorites.
Afterward, two fiddlers played waltzes and square dances 'til late at night. All the elders sat around the outside against the wall and sometimes you could hear a cane hitting the floor in time to the music.

There are arts activities to go with each story. Music, Art, Drama and Dance.
