Always Fresh, Sometimes Frozen

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan I mean. Once again, I apologize for the ten plus day vacation. We went up north and kind of got snowed in. There's no Internet at my new place but we were warm and had some fun. On the days we cold get out, we bought some food supplies and such. Suffice to say, we... Sign in to see full entry.

What The World Needs Now

As I explained in yesterday's entry, I've committed myself to doing something my Father taught me long ago. He had another name for this exercise, but I call them my 'RAK's,' or 'Random Acts of Kindness.' Every day right up to and including Christmas Eve, I have promised myself to do something for...

Goofy Squirrels!

We got about five inches of heavy wet snow last night. It has hit about 40 degrees here today, so much of it has begun to melt and sink into the soft, unfrozen ground. I made my first snowball of the season and tossed it at my eldest grandson, hitting him right in the chest! LOL. Not to be out done,... Sign in to see full entry.

Mopping Up

Just cleaning up a few things from other posts and comments. YES!, we got our pipes all protected up north! We spent a day fixing a few broken windows and sealing leaks under doors and one window. I have a small 30,000 BTU vent-less heater in the room under all of the water fixtures that doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

When A Quick Trip Turns Long

Eh, I had to make a quick trip to my new house so they could turn the power, heat, and water on, and it took longer than I hoped it would. I spent an extra day up there and it is getting COLD! Not kvetching, just making a statement of the obvious. I have to take care of a few things here and I'll be... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Day - And An Answer

I did a lot of running around for some friends and was quite bushed when I got home. I was thining about taking a short nap and then do some writing, but upon checking the mail, I find the new title to my place in Newberry. It's mine, mine, mine! LOL Kinda lifted me up. Now over on my Joke page, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Photo Link Fixed

I'm not quite sure how, but the link to the photo I posted yesterday somehow corrupted itself. Somehow, the URL included the 'www' stuff for Blog It. When I clicked on it myself this morning, I saw what happened and it is fixed it now and you can see it here. This photo was taken at Kitch-iti-kipi... Sign in to see full entry.

An Explanation

By way of explanation, I just posted just shy of 1000 words for Part Forty Two of my novel and it needs some follow up. The scene described there was one in which I actively participated. I didn't do it because I wanted to do it, I was ordered by a judge to do a quick physical on the baby. I was... Sign in to see full entry.

A Coming Firebomb

The novel I'm posting is slowly on the verge of blowing up in a bad way. It was hard to write this story and it was even harder to write the finale. It will be posted sometime this week. I saw this very thing happen in real life, live as it happened, and it made me sick then. Tragedies, at least the... Sign in to see full entry.

Music Soothes The Savage Beast

I was asked why I always make a lot of references to lines from music and songs. It's simply because the music means something to me. It may not strike you as it does me, but music has made me cry since I was very young. My grandson Johnny is like that too. I had him listening to a version of... Sign in to see full entry.
