Random thoughts, life lessons, hopes and dreams
If you’ve been around here for a while, you know that I don’t usually do awards. I haven’t declared this to be an “Award Free Zone,” but I usually have something else going on. Yesterday, I woke up to several inches of snow, a light coating of ice and some thick fog. Later, I saw... Continue Reading →
Sorry, I couldn’t resist a play on words. ‘Mission’ in this case, refers to the furniture style, not some grand undertaking – although, this was no easy project. I love mission style furniture, but like most of the things in my life, I’m not a stickler for details. That’s a play on words too, since... Continue Reading →
As you know, I’ve been taking a break of sorts, by posting some pictures and a minimal amount of text on Mondays this summer. That practice is going to continue, but the break-like behavior is going to expand in August. I know, it’s still July, but you know, August. The level of activity, at work... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, I participated in a the All Seasons blogfest. Joining that blogfest and posting on a Sunday are rare events for me, and to make it even more special, I wrote and published the post using Guttenberg – the new WordPress editor.

One of the things I like about writing vs. speaking is the opportunity to avoid saying the wrong thing. Sometimes, after I write a post, the Editor says: "Are you sure you want to say that?" or “Do you really want to go there?” She might point out that what I wrote has a meaning... Continue Reading →
Announcing the Launch of Murder at the Bijou — Three Ingredients I Introducing the second “three things” serial, in novel form — Murder at the Bijou — Three Ingredients I. Yes, that’s the cover. (I love making covers!) I kept it similar to the one for the first serial, The Three Things Serial Story, but... Continue Reading →
I know, we go to the bar on Saturday. Don’t worry, or if you’re Kate, don’t get excited, this isn’t a normal at-the-bar kind of post. See, I wrote ‘kind of’ not ‘kinda’ – that’s how you can tell I’m going to be serious. On the other hand, the activation energy for this post came... Continue Reading →
