Welcome to my vonildawrites blog.
Actually, my name is Voni, but one year my Spanish teacher had each of us take a Spanish name to use during class. The closest she could come up with for my unusual name was vonilda. I like it for its whimsy.
I am a homeschool mom and a word nerd (in other words, a writer).
I have a trustworthy savior in Jesus Christ.
I have an amazing husband named Rich, who is both strong and gentle
…
I have a breathtaking daughter named Leah, who is blessed with intelligence, integrity, and beauty…
…and I have a crazy dog named Harley!
I invite you to take a break from your day, and enjoy a new short story each Tuesday.
Satisfy your inner nerd by clicking on the Word Nerd link.
Enjoy my ramblings on faith, family, politics as they appear!

I like your tag line “of words and stories and books and things.” Things are always a good thing.

Thank you for the comment. I have three of my own.
1. As a child I thought those flowers were U G L Y. My grandmother punished the dog and I felt guilty for 28 years. Near her end, I confessed. She said she knew I had done it and also knew that punishing the dog would hurt me more than punishing me would. I loved that woman.
2. I hope you enjoy the series. It is a fantasy series but has good characters and lessons.
3. Where are Harley’s eyes?!?!? LOL

I shall enjoy reading your etymology, but if a thought flies through your mind, will you refer to ornithology ?.

laughing… I wait with bated breath, which is much better than baited breath.
My wife is a big word fan, and I will tell her too! She sometimes posts as the “grammar police”
