Though I’ve been trying to get to the fiction for a week or so, yesterday was the first day that I actually managed it. The first chapter I wrote was so easy. I had a lot of fun. Then I found myself distracted, unable to really get much more down on the page. WTF? Writing […]
I know it’s been a couple of weeks, but yesterday, I finally felt as though I was adjusting to the new normal. For me, that involves staying on the property a lot of the time, not going anywhere. It’s kind of weird. I hadn’t realized just how often I left the property. But I used
Power started flickering when we stepped into the shower this morning. Fortunately, it went out before we soaped up, so we were able to dry off, get dressed, feed the cat, and go out to breakfast. However, by the time we came back, there still wasn’t any power. So came back into town, still dressed,

Or it’s easy for me to fall into a rut, depending on your perspective. (^_^) The difference for me is that discipline means that I have to make myself do something.
When I was a kid, we always had a real Christmas tree, as well as an artificial one. The real one was downstairs with all the fancy ornaments and lights. The tree upstairs was for the kids and had all the handmade decorations on it. Since I’ve been an adult, when I’ve had space, I’ve
I’ve had more than one request for this recipe. I had pictures, someplace. Not sure where they went to. But here at least is the recipe. Most of the pate recipes that you see include onions. However, my sweetie is allergic to onions. I replaced the onions with bacon. In addition, most pate recipes call
