About hdh
I have been telling stories for over 40 years and writing forever. I am a retired teacher and storyteller. I hope to expand upon my repertoire and use this blog as a place to do writing.

One day at a time
One day at a time “Just take it one day at a time,” she said as I felt the pangs of hunger reach deep into the pit of despair. “You’ll be fine.” I replied, “That’s easy for you to … Continue reading →

Spellbound

Grandparents…an imagined adventure
Grandparents…an imagined adventure I’d like to think of my grandparents as loving but strict enforcers of rules and regulations. Then again, I never knew my grandparents. They all passed away well before I was born. So the only way I … Continue reading →
