My blog is dedicated to my mother Carol Kennedy Turcotte Smith. My mother was a woman deeply sewn in her faith in God. She laughed much, loved often, and lived light. Although she is with Jesus now, she left us a collection of poems that were published weekly in her local newspaper, it was her way of sharing her thoughts and feelings long before there was an internet. In this way we keep with her tradition honoring her with a second generation of writings and weekly ramblings.
