This past week I had the privilege of being with my 13-year old grandson Simon as my daughter made a quick trip to Florida. Simon is homeschooled and I was (supposedly) there to oversee his attentiveness to his work. The first day I learned he knew exactly what needed to be accomplished and he did… [Read More]

five minute friday: lift
I walked in late but I did walk in with Caribbean Coconut Gelato from TALENTI for everyone! There was an undertone of sadness last night as one of our own, Jen D, lost her mom this week. When one rejoices, all rejoice; when one grieves, all grieve. Kate Motaung, our host, announced a GoFundMe for… [Read More]
five minute friday: hidden
Five Minute Friday host, Kate Motaung, and I exchanged emails early yesterday evening – remember the FMF book I mentioned months ago? We are finalizing the book and preparing for launch! More to come on that. Hubs and I were neck deep in the History channel’s series, ALONE, so I never even set foot in… [Read More]

Too much eyelid resistance here – this morning I came upstairs with a cuppa strong coffee and went straight over Kate Motaung’s place to see what word she chose for this Fourth of July weekend…she’s a smart lady…good word. Let’s… [Read More]
five minute friday: rest
I went to two parties last night! First one was dinner with a dear and best friend, Karen. We met at our favorite Mexican restaurant and dipped gluten-free chips in white cheese (I can never think of the name of it), our entree was Guacamole Mexicana, water to drink and then the party began: fried… [Read More]
five minute friday: want
Believe it or not, I didn’t even step foot in the party last night – I’m not sure why but I didn’t want to. This morning I popped in to see the word prompt Kate Motaung had chosen for the Five Minute Friday free write and I promise I didn’t read her post or any… [Read More]
