Source: swagbucks.com via Chris on Pinterest Maybe I love fall because of the beautiful change of colors on the trees. Maybe I love it because my birthday is in October and it signals the beginning of holidays: halloween, thanksgiving, and christmas. Maybe it is because of college football and the smell of autumn in the air. But I love fall and I suppose it doesn’t really […]
Change of plans
Source: google.com via Jacki on Pinterest No IKEA today. Guess we will go tomorrow. So…I’m writing blogs and working on Sharks today. Love the new twist. Will Jacob find the courage to ask Lilly to marry him? Or…will Lilly find true love with a most unlikely man? Hmmm… And with either choice how do I make it plausible. It’s coming along and I hope it […]
Doubling Up
Source: google.com via Donna on Pinterest Today is a double duty day. I plan on finishing 2 blogs for my Virtual Tour beginning November 28th for Highland Honor. Then I need to write at least 2 pages on my April Fools Day anthology. I know how I want it to end, but I’m just not sure how to pull it all together so it seems […]
Finishing the kitchen remodel
Source: craftily-ever-after.blogspot.com via Chris on Pinterest The house is freezing for the third day in a row and will most likely be the same tomorrow. The tile guys are here again and finishing the tile and the backsplash. Still can’t find handles and knobs for the cabinets so we’re off to IKEA again on Thursday. Geez, it’s been so busy. I never knew that remodeling […]
Power Outage
Source: google.co.uk via Vicky on Pinterest It never ceases to surprise me how much I depend on electricity and how much at a loss I feel when I have none. Yesterday the power went out at about 9:00 AM. We were told a car hit a power pole and the estimated time the power would resume was about 11:30. Okay I can deal with that. […]
Almost forced to go to plan B
I slammed on my brakes. The first deer dashed across the road. I knew there would be more but it was so dark and rainy I couldn’t see. I barely missed the second deer but when I saw the third one I knew I would hit it. The car wasn’t slowing fast enough to miss. The guardian angel on my shoulder must have sent out […]
One little Angel
Source: goodlightscraps.com via Chris on Pinterest My husband and I have the pleasure of babysitting one of our little angels for the last three days. She is such a pleasure and a joy. The sweetheart is always laughing. We are working on our kitchen and she loves to put the screws into the holes and will have every hole filled. She also likes to hide […]
Writing Quotes
Substitute “damn” every time you’re inclined to write “very”; your editor will delete it and the writing will be just as it should be.Mark TwainI really liked this. My first critique partner always told me to get rid of the word “very” which was quite a few times. I hated omitting the word and many times I did not. Now when I reedit older books […]
Retirement?????
I’m off to school again. Well, you say, “I thought you retired.” I tell the kids at school when I come back that “no matter how hard they try I will keep coming back to haunt them.” I’m teaching in the math department. Tomorrow looks like a pretty easy day. Teaching transformations and fractions and will enjoy seeing my colleagues at Stayton High tomorrow. I’ll […]
Post ID: 275
Off to Ikea this morning to finish off a 2 year project. (remodeling my kitchen) Wow I cannot believe it has taken this long. Yesterday I had my first tea from my insta hot fixture on my new sink. I guess one could say it takes baby steps. I was determined to pay cash for every purchase. Success. Next week the floor people will be […]
