Good News at Weight Watchers and other pertinent (?) remarks
I weighed in on Wednesday and, I'm happy to say, I was DOWN two big ones! YES! I've been knocking around in a four-pound range, gaining and losing, for a month. From what I hear at meetings, this is typical. So, anyway, I am definitely happy about this particular...

Whoop-de-do, I'm back. I'm myself again. My doctor took me off my ADD meds and the fog has lifted--hallelujah! Our winners, who should have been announced yesterday, are Kim Rudisill and Darlene Holley. Apologies and congratulations, ladies. As soon as you've...
Weight Watchers Report, Etc.
This morning I was down 1.2 pounds, so I'm happy. 🙂 Last evening, while Bernice and I were returning from our walk, I caught a glimpse of red on some tomato plants over by the greenhouse--yeehaw! I scored some nice ones, and carried them back to the house. Made a...

Long time no blog OR: And you thought I was dead
I'm alive and well, and down 3.6 pounds as of last Wednesday's Weight Watchers meeting. I'm not sure why I haven't blogged this week--it just seemed that something popped up every time I wanted to start. 🙂 I'm writing, of course, and deep into the study of THE...

A huge THANK YOU to Linda Lattin for the GORGEOUS mustang figurine!! He's prominently displayed on my office book shelf, where I can look at him often--you really shouldn't have, but I'm sure glad you did. 🙂 (Please send your snail mail address to llmfb@msn.com...
Fridge-Magnet Wisdom and assorted ramblings
I've been thinking about refrigerator magnets lately. (Don't ask why, because I have no idea.) Still, one can tell a great deal about a person, I think, by studying the various items affixed to their refrigerator door. The most obvious example: children's art,...
Home again, home again, jiggety jog
Well, my friends, the trip to Boonsboro, Maryland, and the fabled Turn the Page Book Store, was just plain magical. Jenni and I flew out of Spokane early (very early) on Friday morning, stopping briefly in Salt Lake City before jetting on to a landing at...
Part 2 or until the glitch, whichever comes first
Moving on from yesterday's blog: What I'm reading, in actual print: A wonderful new memoir called WITH OR WITHOUT YOU, by Domenica Ruta. Reviewers have compared this book to one of my absolute, all-time favorites, THE GLASS CASTLE, by Jeanette Walls, and while I...
Whoopee, it’s Monday! (No, I’m not kidding.)
I love me a Monday. A whole lovely week ahead, like a blank sheet of paper, or a fresh canvas, or a book I know I'm going to love but haven't started yet...or.... Well, you get the idea. I do enjoy a beginning. 🙂 (As long as it's the beginning of something good,...
