NO EARTH SHATTERING NEWS TODAY
Well, here I sit on another dismal Wednesday morning wondering why I even bothered to get out of bed in the first place. It's one of those days when I probably shouldn't have. I'd go back, but what would be the point? I'd just end up feeling even more listless and probably a whole lot worse. The... Sign in to see full entry.

MOURNING DOVES PART ONE NIGHTMARES He wakes a half hour early on this frigid January morning, thinking at first he’ll be late for work. A sigh of relief... Sign in to see full entry.
A SAD DECLINE
Hi gang, I've given it some thought, and given the recent headlines, I've decided to forego the Halloween story for now. I'm just not in the frame of mind to right it at the moment and I doubt I will be for a while. I'll make up for it by continuing Nikolai's story and some other works as well. I...

PETALS FALLEN FROM ROSES
I am absolutely sickened by the deaths of the five little Amish girls yesterday. I just read online that only minutes before he opened fire on the children, he called his wife on his cell phone and confessed his longing to molest them. After completing his crime, he chose to avoid justice by taking... Sign in to see full entry.

A RATHER DISHEARTENING REVIEW
There are few books I've had to stop reading just as I'm nearing the end, but I fear THE LOOP is going to be one such book. The reason is not that it it's poorly written...Quite to the contrary, it is extremely well done. My problem lies in the sometimes graphic of the tale. For those of you who've...

A HUMBLE APOLOGY
It suddenly occured to me this morning that I've had a few new people reading my posts. This apology is offered up to them and to those of my loyal fans I've not read in a while... Please forgive me if I haven't read you right away. I try to read as many as I can in a day, but sometimes I just don't... Sign in to see full entry.

ANOTHER WEIRD DAY
Hi gang, I'm sorry I haven't written since this morning, but I just couldn't get anything out after my post of this morning. I'm tired again... I started working on my Halloween story. I hope tomorrow will be a better day... Sign in to see full entry.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NANA
Today would have been my Nana's birthday. Sadly it's also the twelfth anniversary of her death. I don't know why, but that just hit me all of the sudden. The Jews have a saying that if one dies on their birthday, they are truly righteous and have been blessed by God. I know you are blessed, Nana.... Sign in to see full entry.

OH, THE PLACES I'D GO
Tonight the discovery channel is airing a nine week series taking viewers on a tour of the world. The first stop is China and the Great Wall. I'm going to record the entire series so I can keep it. My son actually walked a few miles along the wall. He told me in the letter he sent me from China that... Sign in to see full entry.
WHEN IT RAINS...
This has turned out to be one miserable Sunday...Roommie is home, and she just informed me that she and her sister found out tonight that her mother has lung cancer. It seems that the Heather saga is also ongoing. Of all the nerve...Today, she sent pictures of the twins...Sebastian is doing... Sign in to see full entry.
I MUST CONFESS YET ANOTHER ADDICTION!!!!
Does anyone here have a favourite drink, I mean one you absolutely CANNOT live without? For me, it's iced tea. Of late, however, I have discovered I also developed an addiction for white and green tea. Chilled, of course. My favourite is the Arizona green tea with honey and ginseng or citrus. I...

ONE DARK AND CHILLY DAY
I now understand why so many authors of horror books or novels choose dreary, dismal weather for their settings. It definitely adds to the mystique of their tales, doesn't it? To this day, I still remember my very first impression of London. Ironically, it didn't rain once while I was there...Not... Sign in to see full entry.
THE LEAPING OF DEER
Last night, I was watching RIVER DANCE. I love that programme. Mostly because when I do, I feel as if I could just get up and dance with them. (I'm hopeless at dancing...Two left feet!!) My favourite part of the show is THE RUSSIAN DERVISH. A troupe of six Russian ballet dancers joined the River... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning, gang... Well, here we are on 1 October!! I can't believe how quickly the year is flying past!! I've just looked out the window in my sitting room, and it looks as if we're in for more soggy, dreary weather...No wonder I'm so. One of you left me a comment last night regarding MIRIJAM'S...

MIRIJAM'S STORY
THE GOOD GIRLS MIRIJAM’S STORY Rotterdam, Holland-August, 1942 The morning begins like every other for nineteen-year-old Mirijam Van der Breek, but it will not end that way.
