Just Me Blathering About My PD

I have another appointment to see a Parkinson's (PD) specialist in Gainesville, FL, on August 13th. So far, I've been blessed to keep my hands steady, with only a slight quiver in my legs. I walk at least a mile every day to keep them properly innervated, and the nerves stay as healthy as possible.... Sign in to see full entry.

The Names That Disappeared

The Names That Disappeared Thomas returns to the archives looking for something completely unrelated. While waiting for the archivist, he casually asks, "How many surveyors worked this county before Whitaker?" The archivist shrugs. "Hundreds. "She pulls out an old ledger, and Thomas began reading...

Challenge Explained

I made a statement above today's episode saying this was becoming a challenge. When I started this story, it was nothing but an idea that flashed into my head. I had no outline... just the idea... but all of my life, I've done better when under pressure. The story is slowly making a pivot to take us... Sign in to see full entry.

This is getting to be a challenge.

One chapter a day until done. Whew! The Drawer Nobody Cataloged The Historical Society meeting had ended almost thirty minutes earlier, yet Professor Harold Benton still hadn’t gone home.

The Woman Who Remembered the Wrong Road

It's supposed to be a decent day here, with temps staying about 85... that's nice and cool after a few weeks in the mid-90s. I've been neglecting my backyard, and the grass has absolutely taken off. It's easily 14" tall, and that invites mosquitoes! I don't need them, so I am going to do some mowing... Sign in to see full entry.

The Place That Remembered

The Place That Remembered The following morning dawned clear, almost as though the previous day’s storms had never existed. Thomas was already awake when the first rays of sunlight crept across the bedroom ceiling. He lay quietly for several minutes, replaying yesterday’s conversation with the old...

We've had some heavy storms wandering through the area, and consequently, I've stayed off my computer. It looks like there is one more storm headed his way, and then, I'll wander back in and add another episode of my story. V Sign in to see full entry.

Where the Line Shouldn’t Be Thomas was on the road before sunrise. Not because he expected to discover anything remarkable, but because experience had taught him that places revealed themselves differently before the rest of the world arrived. The old highway was nearly empty, the pavement still... Sign in to see full entry.

Yes, I Do!

Good morning. I forgot tp mention that yesterday was our sixth anniversary. I wish we could have gone back the the banks of the Tahquamenon River where we were married, but we went out for an early dinner and spent about 30 minutes dancing.

Finally... Darn Lightning!

The weather here has been crazy today. I've gone through months without seeing that much lightning. I've lost two computers to lightning in the last 16 months, and I don't want to break in a new one. I usually will buy a new computer, put it on the desk next to my old one, and begin to break it in... Sign in to see full entry.
