Monday
You know I love Mondays, if you've been reading this blog for a while. Weatherwise, this one definitely qualifies as gloomy, overcast and dark, with more rain on the way. We had a dandy thunder and lightning storm last night--what a show! The weekend went pretty...
Internet Woes
I had no internet service all day yesterday--I'm not sure why--so I was unable to blog. This week's winners are Bonnie G. Fahy and Jennifer Damone--congratulations! We'll begin a new round on Monday, so keep the faith. 🙂 It's almost the weekend again--how did THAT...
A day to remember….
I'm in a thoughtful mood today, remembering those who died in the attacks of September 11, 2001 and those who mourn them. The victims, of course, passengers and crew on those four airplanes, the men and women who perished in the World Trade Center and the Pentagon,...
Fall is falling
I've said it before, but it bears repeating--I LOVE this time of year. The sun is still shining brightly most days, but it's cooler, and getting crisp of a morning. I'm inundated with garden vegetables--the tomatoes are ripening and I've cornered the market on...
My mystery weekend
Mum was the word on Friday--I was heading to L.A. to attend a surprise party for my dear friend, Cindy Leuty-Jones, so I couldn't mention my destination for fear of arousing suspicions. 🙂 I stayed at the lovely Westin Hotel at LAX, and on Saturday, Cindy and her...
The winners
Congratulations to Regina M and Pat Yates, this week's winners!
The Long Weekend
I slept a lot. 🙂 I listened to "Fragile", by Lisa Unger, practically at one sitting--if lying in bed with my iPod going can be accurately described as a "sitting." This is a very good suspense novel, obviously, and I do recommend it. For me, free time always...
Winners
This week's contest winners are John Olenick and Jayne Jageler--congratulations to both of you. A new round will begin on Monday, so everybody gets another chance. 🙂 I fully intended to blog yesterday, but, for whatever reason, it just didn't happen. I wrote--I'm...
Acupuncture and Brylee’s bracelet
Now, THERE's a combination for you. 🙂 Today, Wednesday, is acupuncture day, and I am sure looking forward to all that relaxation! People often cringe when I mention acupuncture--I guess they're imagining skin bristling with heavy-duty tapestry needles and maybe...
You have to be smarter than the squash…
Picture it. Summer. Spokane, 2013. Me, in my flower-bed style vegetable garden. I have decided to harvest a gourd, with a mind to dry it, paint it, etc. Since they're small, I take two. 🙂 (This is a family joke.) I bring them inside, whack away at them on the...
A Beautiful New Week
There's a lot about Mondays that I'm celebrating at the moment: it's a fresh start, and I'm all about starting over. 🙂 I am one of those annoying people who truly believe in the old saying, "try, try again." Just recently, I realized I was on a slippery slope,...
The winners are….
Congratulations to Michele J and Susan Lee, winners of this week's contest. Your books are already on their way--enjoy. I'm making this short--it's that kind of day. Have a fabulous weekend!
