My favorite words today: smattering, splattered, aggressively opinionated, doting, blither, blithely, novelling, and serum sickness. I warned you. It may be getting boring to those of you who come here semi regularly only to be told how many words I am into the novel, but have patience, when November ends so does the adventure. Either [...]
Oh how awesome! How did I miss following through on this cool nomination from Krista clear back in August? Maybe it was because I was in Seattle being Grandma that month. So, she thinks my blog is “Brillante”! What a compliment! It means a lot it comes from someone I have grown to respect because [...]
I do most of my NaNoWriMo noveling in the middle of the night when all is quiet. Thus I find it is 3:30 in the morning and I am struggling to put my characters to bed so they can’t continue to bang around and stir up trouble while I put myself to bed. I find [...]
Oh gosh a golly … my pal, Alice, made the find of the year in this site. I heartily recommend both sites as absolutely entertaining reading … especially, but not particularly only, if you are a senior citizen such as I. I love when a blog makes me go “har har” or when it takes [...]

Oh I love these “gushers” we get sometimes in the summer! The beautiful clouds move in from the south or west and all of a sudden there is a loud crack of thunder and the clouds spill over and wash away the red dirt and leave everything sparkling and beautiful. And the smell … the [...]
Mother Goose songs and stories have entertained children for hundreds of years. When my first son was born my first book purchase was this one and when he was just tiny I read the nursery rhymes and fantasies from its pages … singing those from the Record Album I owned as a child. I [...]

Like happiness? Here’s another great blog … “The Happiness Project“. It’s written by Gretchen Rubin who once worked for Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as a clerk. She left that to write and the book she’s currently working on is called “The Happiness Project” … thus the blog. She has done a lot of research on [...]
