Hi gang... I'm just off to take a shower. I'll be back soon... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, my friends... I've just looked at all the comments I received from some of you regarding the story I started writing last night. Thank you all so much! I must admit, I don't even know what prompted me to start writing this one. Perhaps it was my first post from yesterday (Not sure if... Sign in to see full entry.

REIGN OF FIRE Vienna, Austria-9 November, 1938 I’m sitting here in near darkness trying to write this letter to you. Of course, I have the desk lamp switched on, but of little help, since all the drapes have been drawn. I wish I could go outside, but Papa has forbidden it! He and Mama have gone to...

This is the only way I can describe what I'm feeling tonight. It's flocking freezing outside, which doesn't bode well for Roommie or me. My back has been giving me what for since yesterday, and I seriously doubt it's going to let up any time soon. I regret that I'm about to say this...But I think... Sign in to see full entry.

Here it is, gang...the next page of Isabella's story. Hope it makes you feel better, Grandmummy Kabu! THERE’S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! One night long, long ago, in the little town of Bethlehem, a strange star lit up the sky. Eight-year-old Isabella stared at the star as Mama helped her get ready for... Sign in to see full entry.

Just going for some lunch. I'll come back as soon as I can. In the meantime, there's a post for y'all to read! Sign in to see full entry.

Today marks two very important anniversaries for the people of Germany. One very ainful, and the other very good. For today is both the anniversary of Krystalnacht and of the fall of the Berlin Wall. I can only imagine the pain and the pride of the German people today. On my father's side of the... Sign in to see full entry.

When I went off earlier, it was to start painting Mum's Thanksgiving cuddle turkey couple. Thus far, only their sweet little feet have been completed, but I must say I did a pretty good job despite my wonky hands! In case you're all curious, they've been decorated in a lovely king's gold. I intend... Sign in to see full entry.

I know I was meant to write the next snippet of THERE'S A BABY IN OUR STABLE! yesterday, but I just wasn't up to it. I have something I'd like to work on for a while (non-writing related) but I intend to come back in a bit so I'll post it then. I also have something else brewing... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm off to the shower in a minute or two. Lord, how I look forward to the hot water running down over my poor back! Thankfully, it also does wonders for the rest of my poor stiff muscels. Often, especially lately with the economy in such rough shape, I think of the elderly who have to choose between... Sign in to see full entry.

Tonight's post of Thanksgiving is going to be relatively short because my back is very painful and I need to get a bit warmer before it gets worse. Our heat has FINALLY kicked in, and I am so grateful! The chill and frost in the air has definitely gotten worse over the last few days, and we are... Sign in to see full entry.

Oh, God... Normandy is on fire again. The Gestapo seems to take sheer, wicked delight in tormenting their victim. The pain hasn't been this awful for months...but I fear war has come again, and this time Normandy is sure to burn to the ground. Sign in to see full entry.

I've just received an email from the poor blogger who deleted me from their list, along with my comments on their posts. It was all a terrible mistake! So, I say a heartfelt thank you to this wonderful person. You've made me feel much, much better. No apologies necessary, and don't worry, I will... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm stunned. Not angry or bitter...just very, very, very sad. I've just discovered that the person who deleted me from their list has also been deleting my comments on their posts. From the very moment I started writing here, I've done my best never to make hurtful or unkind remarks to anyone I've... Sign in to see full entry.

I don't what's wrong with me today. My insides are upside down and twisted inside out. I keep waiting for something to happen, but I don't know what I'm waiting for. I feel like running, but can't. There's so much I need to write, but it keeps going round in circles. Sign in to see full entry.

Hi gang... I'm just not having any luck right now, so I'm gonna go have lunch. Maybe things will be better after some food. Oh, and there may be some more of Isabella's story when I come back. Sign in to see full entry.

Last night, I read Darson's poem post about the all you can eat buffet, and it prompted what is to follow. Lately, Roommie and I have discovered a HUGE addiction. Bacon pizza! We've had one nearly every weekend for the past four weeks or so! We've tried ordering other kinds of pizza, but they just... Sign in to see full entry.

I spoke briefly to Juliet online last night, and I'd like to ask for prayers for her. She's in terrible pain from a badly infected tooth. She's been given antibiotics and pain medication, but they don't seem to be of much help at the moment. She is scheduled to have the tooth pulled, but can't have... Sign in to see full entry.
