Thursday Catch-up Blog
Well, now, where to start? I guess the first thing will be the weekly Weight Watchers report. I was up 4/10ths of a pound. No panic, though--I did take a look at my portion sizes and make a commitment to be a tad less generous. 🙂 The thing is, there are always...
Sure enough
A big part of today's blog got sucked into the black hole of cyberspace. Errrrgh! This is a brand new computer, so I'm blaming the internet itself. To recap what I wrote before, my great-nephew, Gibson, is doing well. I think he's still in the hospital, but he's...
Evening blog
I had planned on writing this blog entry first thing this morning, but I got caught up in the new book instead--I'm loving this story, though I do wish it would go just a tad faster :). I so appreciate all your comments and kind words about THE MARRIAGE PACT, and...
Sunny Morning on the Triple L
Greetings, Parablites. (Parablonians?) 🙂 First, last week's winners: Teri S and Evelyn Dinunzio. Congratulations, ladies! For those of you who are not, alas, Teri or Evelyn, do not despair. The new round starts today, and all you have to do is comment. What...
Good Morning, Parable
Well, so far, so good. Nobody has died or hurt themselves, knock on wood. A very promising sign. Our contest winners for last week are: Lizzy Gaasenbeck and Jean Browning. The new round begins today, so here's a routine recap of the rules. All you need to do is...
Triple L Update
Wouldn't you know---the Canadian Wrangler (aka Larry) took a header and cracked a rib. Unfortunately, there isn't much available in the way of treatment--it's rest-and-suffer, I guess. (The way things have been going on this spread, I'm thinking of sending out a...
Weight Watchers Report and other normal stuff
After a gain of 1.6 last week, I'm happy to say I lost 3.2 this week, hitting a major milestone in the process. I'm down 50 pounds even! YES! I got up very early this morning and began working--finally--on the new book. I spent nearly two hours working on the first...
Since last we met….
A great deal has happened, some of it good, some of it not so much. On the morning of my birthday (June 10), a good friend passed away. Of course we were and are saddened by the loss, but there are is comfort in knowing he is at peace now, no longer suffering and...
And yet there is joy…
I realized it--again--this morning, while chatting with the Big Guy. I say "again" because, while the awareness is always there, it is often submerged in the fuss and flurry of everyday life. To paraphrase Albert Camus (since the exact wording of the quote escapes...
OK. I’m pretty sure I’m back for real this time….
This blog entry will probably be something of a hodgepodge, so I hope you'll bear with me. So much has happened over the last few weeks, and I must admit, I'm still reeling a little. Last week's prize winners are Linda Lattin and Shirley Meyle. My sincerest...
That was the week that was….
My beloved cat, Cha Cha, passed away suddenly from an undiagnosed case of diabetes, the day after we lost Aunt Billie. She was 12 years old and one of my dearest companions. I was with her at the end, petting her and telling her everything would be okay, when she...
And the beat goes on…
Well, our baby boy was born this morning. We don't know much more as yet, but we're optimistic. Our theory is that the little guy is a future President, and thus eager to get here, grow up, graduate from college and law school, and take up residence in the White...
