It’s not about the “stuff,” although we are so very blessed with things, gadgets, and belongings. It’s not about the “stuffing,” although we will enjoy a feast. It’s all about the love! HAPPY THANKSGIVING and many BLESSINGS TO ALL!! (Class of 68 photograph, Christine Nettleton; Boy and Grandfather Photograph, Lori Nixon; cat photograph, Monia Kanebog;…
The thing is… I dedicate my Monday mornings to writing. My husband takes the first shift with his dad, checking at about 7 a.m. that all is well, and I don’t go next door to do the daily clean-up/check-up on my father-in-law until 11:30 a.m. That gives me more than three hours to write. That’s…

This week gave Neil and I two unusual reasons for celebration. 1. I finally finished the rough draft of my novel WARP. It needs a lot of rewriting, but the rough draft is the tough draft, and I’m always delighted when I finish it. 2. My husband and his brother Denny finished working on their…
From My House to Yours, Happy Thanksgiving! The back door view in winter. (We aren’t yet buried in snow this year!) See you when we post our next MySky on Monday! Love to all, Sue
I love to cook. I didn’t always love to cook, mostly because I burned or ruined everything I tried to make, but my mother-in-law was a patient and gentle instructor, and eventually I learned. I still can ruin a dinner, but it doesn’t happen as often as it used to. This Thanksgiving I will cook…
Wild Word Friday! I’m a Christian and so in addition to expressing THANKs to the special people in my life (which definitely includes all of you reading this!) I spend time each day THANKing God. I have been blessed in so many ways and all of you are an important part of those blessings. Next…
