Wicked Skyfall

My husband and I had a wonderful night in Mashpee tonight. First we went to see Skyfall in Mashpee Commons.

Where else does the hero die in the very beginning of the movie and live on . . . → Read More: Wicked Skyfall

Life In The iCloud

Oh my. I didn't realize the heavens were going to open up when I invited iCloud onto my Mac Sunday night. Installing Mountain Lion was such an ordeal that I stayed away from the computer for the past two days. Tonight I ventured back onto it. Oh my.

When my desktop opened, my text . . . → Read More: Life In The iCloud

Ready, Set, Go

This weekend everyone is decorating for Xmas, us included. We went to get our wreath for the side of the house. Put up all the outside decorations. Then I bribed my daughter to help with the inside decorating by cracking open a bottle of red.

Of course, before the Xmas decor could begin, fall . . . → Read More: Ready, Set, Go

Blue Friday

My daughter and I spent the better part of the morning returning to the Cape after our NY holiday with our family. The house was cold when we arrived because I had turned the heat off.

Press Pause

Last night at dinner I was recounting a funny video I just happened to see on America’s Funniest Home Videos this week.

I Can Only Imagine

Today in Bible study our dear Helen was giving us our “mission moment”. Each week she reports what’s going on with different missionary families serving around the world. Today she was talking about Operation Christmas Child. The Grace church, where we meet each week for our study, always participates. This is a program where a . . . → Read More: I Can Only Imagine

First Time, Ever I….

…. No, not saw your face. This is the first trip ever to NY or anywhere that I brought my writing project with me to work on. Driving down the Mass Pike that thought astounded me. What could that mean?

Now, you understand, that my writing is freelance and has no constraints or deadlines placed . . . → Read More: First Time, Ever I….
