Children: Our most valuable natural resource.
Little Drover
It had been a long, cold and very dry winter. Our rosy cheeks were smoothed with lanolin every night after bath time. That icy westerly wind had shrivelled the landscape to a burnt sienna and yellow cadmium palette. Feed for the cattle was scarce. The only protein available was at the base of the tall, native grasses which grew on the Long Paddock. This Australian feature was preserved by the state government to ensure that drovers had a right of passage when bringing their huge herds from the Gulf to the saleyards near the large abbatoirs on the outskirts of Toowoomba, on the Darling Downs.

When It Comes to Kids, One Plus One Does Not Equal Two
I got pregnant with our second child when our first one could barely walk. It was by choice — my husband and I wanted our kids to be closer in age than we were with our siblings — but it was not a particularly informed decision.

My daughter's mother, my ex, died. The news stopped the flow of blood to my head. The funeral was to happen in 48 hours. I scrambled to find the quickest way back to Minnesota from Bali, Indonesia. I told my daughter to do the best she could with the funeral arrangements until I got there.

My Protector
One day during the summer, my father was on edge and watching us carefully. It was always contagious, so when my father was on edge, we all were. My brother was walking around the trailer and he seemed agitated with the mood surrounding us. Walking out the front door, my brother mumbled something under his breath. Immediately my father sprang from the couch and screamed, “I heard that!” Coming back inside, my brother looked him square in the eye.

My Brother Was an Only Child
I’m stimulated by music. The sound and the words often stimulate me to board my personal “WayBack Machine”. As I drift on a song, back to an event or place, it’s usually a person that’s the link to a memory. Upon arrival, I close my eyes and instantly, hanging there in my mind and heart, like apples from the largest tree ever known, is each memory.
