I’ve got BIG news you’all. Like bumper crop in the apple orchard big. Wisdom Comes Suddenly is now a featured blog at Indy’s Child Magazine, online. You can either go to their main page here, and choose “Wisdom Comes Suddenly” from their blog list, or you can link straight to my pieces here. I won’t duplicate any material; everything you read at Indy’s Child will be new posts and new pictures. There are two new posts out there now, and I do love them so:
I will write as me, being me, living the me. I promise, no weird twists or fancy-pants stuff…just the usual Erma Bombeck-esque comedy you’ve come to expect. I will mess up crafts. I will take the long way to the finish line. I will laugh at the high-jinx I get myself into. I will wonder out loud as to why I ever decided to become a Mother, and I will thank the good Lord for seeing fit to make me one.
To celebrate this INDY-riffic achievement, I would like to sponsor a give-away. Indy residents are at a very unfair advantage, but as we’re sending love over to Indy’s Child, it feels right. To enter, leave a comment as to where this picture was taken. Before you say “humph”…LOOK at it. There are clues as to where this was taken. Here is your hint: it is INSIDE Indianapolis. You know me. You’ve read this blog. Enter as many times as you like. Correct guesses will be entered into a random drawing to win a drawstring holiday gift bag, handmade by me. Really, really specific guesses will be entered twice (if you know where this is, the “specific” word will make sense). The bag won’t be the exact replica of last year’s, but you can see an approximation of the bags here. Fill them up with goodies and give it away…you’ll be someone’s favorite gift giver this season.
Entries must be entered by Midnight, Sunday, November 17th, EST.
Thank you for joining my journey. I am so excited to share my work with the larger Indianapolis audience. Let’s welcome them in with a hug!

Love, love, love everything you write! So excited for you, Lori!!

Indiana Art Museum
I’m with Linda: IMA, 100 Acres, Park of the Laments.
I’m a Hoosier. Limestone is in our blood. 😉
1000 Acres. You are so predictable. 🙂 And congrats on being super famous for your hair, your handbags, and your writing!
Lydia, you wrote 1000 Acres. That’s a lot of acres, even for someone with a PhD. And thank you…what a crazy, awesome week, huh? Let’s go out and celebrate Lyd and Lor style!
Oh, you KNOW I love a Lori giveaway! I did some research on recalling where – and was able to match the girl’s outfits and the landscape….so it was Botany lesson time at IMA and the White Gardens…..a part of them was a visit to the 100 Acres as well. This is the best research I could do!!!! Also, congratulations of your writing for another publication!!! Your writing is fantastic!!!! Very happy for you!
Thank you Sarah! And girlfriend…you are one helluva researcher. I can’t tell you until Sunday if you are right, but I must say…your technique is stellar.
Park of the Laments – my favorite spot in 100 acres. . .
I’ve never been to the park so I won’t say it’s the 100 acres Park of the laments 😉
I did live in Bloomington as a child though. For 2 years. The coldest winters and hottest summers on record.
