Melted Chocolate

Today is obviously Valentine's Day. This morning I made my declarations of love to my significant others and went on with my day. I had to clean and prepare the house for my daughters and their friends coming to spend the weekend. My thoughts weren't running along the lines of all the flowers, candles and . . . → Read More: Melted Chocolate

Weird…

It was weird. Last night, when the power flicked on at about 10:40 pm, my mood fell. I kind of felt like I didn't want it to end. My husband and I were involved in a game of chess and poking insults at each other, then dissolving in laughter. (I can't tell who won because . . . → Read More: Weird…

Nemo – Day 3 – Live From East Sandwich Beach

Day three begins, once again, with no power. There is power in one lone block in the center of our town which contains not only the police station, but a gas station right next door to it. This made getting enough gas for the generator easy. We had to get enough because the tweet from . . . → Read More: Nemo – Day 3 – Live From East Sandwich Beach

Camping!

It’s official! We’re camping! Power on East Sandwich Beach went out about 8:30. It took us an hour to get the generator going, hook up the heat and I can use the microwave and charge the cell phones. So, so far, all is well. We have plenty of food and all the scents of the . . . → Read More: Camping!

Storm Prep

There’s only one thing to write about tonight – storm prep. New England is facing the worst blizzard we’ve seen in many years. Snow totals here in Sandwich are expected to be in the teens of inches, while off cape it’s over three feet in places. Boston is totally shutting down. All schools are closed, . . . → Read More: Storm Prep

Game On!

The Super Bowl is about to start. No one super cares who’s playing. It’s just a great excuse to have a party and make some terrific food. It’s almost a semi-holiday. My family is having a great time, too. Ashley was able to join us at the cape this year and hubby made all the . . . → Read More: Game On!

Just A Piece Of Paper

As a writer and a lover of words, a piece of paper is very important to me. The words that I might put on that paper could influence someone else to have a little better day, to inform someone and give them the gift of new knowledge, or to inspire them to keep going and . . . → Read More: Just A Piece Of Paper

Once Again, Live From Foxboro

Today I am at the AFC Championship game with my husband and daughter. I gave her my ticket and hung out at the CBS Scene while they went into the game. I was happy at the bar, complete with wine and sweet potato fries in front a big screen. Three girls came and sat next . . . → Read More: Once Again, Live From Foxboro

Tapping

Yes, tapping. What is tapping? Just what it says it is – tapping – like tapping your fingers on the table. So, why am I writing about something so ordinary? Because I've never heard of it before. I mean, I've heard about tapping your fingers on the table while nervous or bored, but I've never . . . → Read More: Tapping

Live From Foxboro

Today my husband got tickets to the New England/Houston playoff game from work. The tickets were clubhouse seats with parking right outside the door. We got here early and walked around Patriot place, met a couple from Canada attending their very first live NFL game, had a quick drink in the CBS Scene with some . . . → Read More: Live From Foxboro
