Last year, I received an email from folksinger Ann Rowland http://www.annandwillrowland.com/ who asked if I’d be interested in joining her and David Roth http://www.davidrothmusic.com/ also a folksinger, as a presenter at the North of 45 Writers’ Retreat in May 2011. I said YES! I am so glad I said YES. My husband is so glad I…
Congratulations to our friends Greenstone and Thimbleberry who have passed the 500 mile mark on their Appalachian Trail walk! Congratulations to you both, and to Leanne and Steve who joined them this past week for a portion of that walk. That’s really friendship! (Neil and I love you guys, but don’t plan on seeing us until…
You’d think, since I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, that I’d be used to ice storms. Not so. Our weather here is usually too cold for ice storms. We get snow. However, last Saturday our April temperatures were too warm for snow and too cold for rain. We had ice. Five electric poles just south…
The other day a friend and I were discussing our grandchildren, and she related a cute comment made by her 3-year-old grandson. Since that conversation, I’ve been remembering all the funny things I’ve heard children say, some wise and others silly. One of my favorite “kid sayings” was from one of our DGDs (Darling Granddaughters), when she was about 2 1/2….
Today my father is 84! I’m always a bit amazed when I think over Dad’s life experiences. He was born in Arkansas, back when it was still a very normal thing for Arkansas farmers to use mules, not tractors. He remembers his great grandfather who was a veteran of the Civil War – and a POW (and…
We just returned from a vacation that we’ve been saving for and anticipating during the past two years. We cruised the South Caribbean, visited three new-to-us countries, indulged in gourmet dinners, saw some great musicals, made some wonderful new friends! And as great as it was to take that vacation, we’re discovering all over again that it’s…
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
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…
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….
Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone! I hope you get in a little celebration, extra chocolate, a movie, maybe a meal out. Yesterday, my husband Neil and I celebrated an early Valentine’s Day with a movie and lots of popcorn. Today, the 14th, we will celebrate a little differently. Neil’s parents were married on Valentine’s Day 71…
