Monday Morning Musings
This past weekend was a quiet one for me. I stayed home Friday, Saturday and Sunday, and got a lot of little bits of business taken care of; fixing some of the pages here on the new site, writing press releases, ordering more books, updating information for the theatre, arranging for guest bloggers here, as […]

Nothing New Today
Obviously did not get a book review up today. Other things kept interfering. One of the not-so-fun-things was trying to understand a customer service rep who did not speak clearly. Then I had to listen to the most horrid music while on hold. Seemed like it was forever while I waited. I’m sure it was […]
Handling Grief
I’m still not feeling very social. This grief work is hard. Next week I will post some reviews and guest blogs that were scheduled for earlier this month, and hopefully I will slowly get back to a regular routine here. One thing I learned when I was facilitating grief support groups is that there is […]

Book Review – Angel Sometimes by Helen Ginger
Angel Sometimes Helen Ginger This is the first fiction book released by Helen Ginger, and I certainly hope it is not the last. This is an author who has an intriguing story, and the writing will only get better and better. There were some things I absolutely loved about this book, primarily the central character, […]
A to Z Challenge – R is for Rocks and Rabbits
Continuing from yesterday’s post about quartz, I thought I would write about some of the other rocks in my gardens. They are everywhere. I have some ringing large circular flowerbeds around trees. Some are in a raised flowerbed that was built to keep the dirt from washing away from the side of the house. And […]
