Knight, Order of the Thistle, Commander, Order of the British Empire, Prince of Wales and Earl of Chester, Duke of Cornwall,... Sign in to see full entry.

A.W.O.L. Grandma
About a year ago, we were asked to spend the night with the grandkids so B.’s daughter and her husband could do an overnight away. How could we say no? As much as I love those kids, no one knew how much I was dreading this assignment. They are the sweetest kids in the world but… an overnight? I was... Sign in to see full entry.
Do you live in your head?
Even though I’ve been blessed with reasonably good health, sometimes I wish I didn’t have a body to deal with! This body hurts sometimes, it ages, needs a lot of sleep, gets out of shape easily, hates to exercise, always needs bathing or other personal care. On the other hand, it loves good food and...

Back to the boat
Last night B. and I got on the subject of our boat dreams again. For some time now, we have had a dream of selling our house and buying a big boat to live on and travel with.

Partners in crime
Is running all over town throwing toilet paper over trees and cars considered a crime? Excitement can be hard to find in a small town! These are my very best friends from high school. We were innocent pranksters, looking for fun any way we could find it. I think I laughed more with these friends... Sign in to see full entry.

Speak to me!
Today I’ve been really wondering about your voices. I’ve been getting to know your writing voices, but I wonder, what do your speaking voices sound like? If I talked to you on the phone, what would I hear? I can imagine slight southern accents, British accents, New York accents, Canadian and... Sign in to see full entry.
Breakfast memories
Do you remember those percolator coffee pots? They had those little glass bubbles at the top that ‘pop pop popped’ -- my little brother used to make that sound pulling his finger out of his mouth. One of my favorite breakfast cereals was Frosted Flakes. Tony the Tiger could talk me into pouring nice... Sign in to see full entry.
