Sister Rain’s Note: In 2015, I published 9.5 parts of “Piper & Me: A Love Story.” Beginning in March 2024 I reposted them weekly. I have since written new chapters and will continue to do so. If you would like to read any of the parts, type “Piper & Me”…
My husband and I recently cracked open our PF Chang’s cookies to find the above fortunes inside. If one had said, “You will choose to never leave your house again,” the other’s would have read: “You will get a divorce.” #sisterrain #alittlesightalotofheart #legallyblindtraveler #travel #pfchangs #fortunately

A few months ago, I published the story, “Such A Fine Sight To See,” about Roadside Attractions. On a recent trip to Maine, I was able to direct my long-suffering husband to new treasures along the highways and byways of this great country. I give you the latest fine sights:…
For over 30 years of my life, summer meant one thing: the beach. That all came to an end when my mom died in 2012 of stage 4 gall bladder cancer. F CANCER. Sure, I could have continued to go without her, but then I lost my sight five months…
