Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten books involving food (that are not cookbooks). I started writing that list and realized that I was recreating a past Top Ten Tuesday, Books That Make Me Hungry. So I’m going to write about ten fictional story collections that I liked […]
Welcome to my weekly update for September 1, 2024! I didn’t have anything to report on the personal front as I wrote last week’s post but that weekend we visited New York City. For all intents and purposes, this was my first visit. I’ve never been drawn to large cities because I’m not a fan of […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten posts about ourselves this week. I usually share some personal details in my Weekly Update posts so if you follow those, you know quite a bit about me. But here are some dedicated posts about me. Back to Blogging–I wrote this in 2020 after […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 25, 2024! This has been a quiet week so far so I don’t have much to report on the personal front. If you were here last week, you know that my local-for-now library was having a contest to name their new carts. I voted for Wheel Gaiman but I was in the […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to “Pick a relationship type and choose characters who fit that relationship as it relates to you. So, characters you’d like to date, be friends with, be enemies with, etc.” As a shy introvert, big personalities attract me and repel me at the same time […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 18, 2024! I made it back for a second week in a row! Woohoo! On Tuesday, we went to Lake George, NY. It’s a beautiful, clear lake nestled in the Adirondacks. We took a ride on a steamship called the Minne-Ha-Ha, named after a character in Longfellow’s […]
Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl invited us to share ten travel books this week. I’ve written about Books That Awaken My Travel Bug in the past so I’m posting a topic I missed instead–ten debut novels I enjoyed. I’ve tried to mostly choose books that are older or a little off the radar. I rated all […]
Welcome to my weekly update for August 11, 2024! Well, I certainly didn’t mean to disappear for six months but, you know, life. The last time I posted, my husband, a travel nurse, was working near our home in North Carolina. We wrapped up that work assignment in May and took a couple of weeks off […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 18, 2024! On our second day in Florida a couple of weeks ago, we just took our time driving down through the Keys. I’ve only made the trip one time and that was with my in-laws. We were able to stop and look around a little more freely this time on our […]
Welcome to my weekly update for February 11, 2024! I missed posting the past couple of weeks because we were in south Florida to do some touristy things and then visit my in-laws. We visited Biscayne National Park and went snorkeling our first day. I would not recommend snorkeling in January, even […]
Welcome to my weekly update for January 21, 2024! My great-uncle (my grandmother’s brother) passed away on Monday. He had been sick for a while so it wasn’t unexpected but somehow death is still a shock, isn’t it? I rented a little place from him back when I was a single girl and the first couple […]
