Spring Break Again!
I’m taking a little spring break this week. I don’t know about you, but cabin fever always seems to set in about this time of year, and the best cure is balmy breezes. I’ll see you on Wild Word Friday! God bless you all! Sue
NOSEGAY
Wild Word Friday! Today’s wild word was suggested by my friend Jane. In a previous Wild Word Friday post, Jane mentioned that her son was reading a book to his baby daughter and came across a word he’d never seen before – NOSEGAY. He called Jane for a definition, and she told him that it was…
CAT
Wild Word Friday! You knew I’d have to follow up last Friday’s DOG day with a CAT day, right? CATs haven’t been domesticated nearly as long as dogs, and I think most CAT lovers recognize that streak of wild in their pets. A couple of summers ago, my brother and his wife and daughter were…
Close Up
A funny thing happened to me on the way to… Isn’t that how a lot of stories begin? So, a funny thing happened to me at my annual physical checkup. Always a hoot, right? Especially when your doctor tells you that he wants you to have a few more tests. Then things get scary fast. So…

DOG
Wild Word Friday! Few people dispute the fact that the first domesticated animal was the DOG. Anthropologists and archaeologists tell us that the DOG was common in Europe (and in Asia, too) even in Neolithic times. We have the evidence of DOG bones in ancient village sites, but we also have evidence more subtle than that – in our words. In every…
What are you reading?
Our book group met this afternoon. We discussed Jodi Picoult’s PLAIN TRUTH. A great book and a great discussion. (And cheesecake for dessert.) Our book for next month is LIGHT ON SNOW by Anita Shreve. I’ve read this one before and really enjoyed it, but will read it again to refresh my memory. I love discussing…
Woo Hoo!
A couple of years ago, I decided to jump-start my writing career. First, I gave my writing career to the Lord. (Again!) Then I had a serious heart-to-heart with my husband. Neil has always believed in my dreams. He told me to go for it, that whatever happened we’d be a team as we’ve always been….
AWRY
Wild Word Friday! An interesting word, AWRY. To me it seems old fashioned. How often have you heard anyone say that something is AWRY? Actually, the only person I’ve heard use that word lately is my 91-year-old father-in-law, but, old fashioned or not, I think it’s a great word and worthy of use. And, by the…
