Holidailies, Wheel-O & cookies.

There were some really fun writing prompts provided last year. My favorite had to do with writing [...]
Almost over – odds & ends from winter break
Sigh…the long, lovely vacation is over. Back to school and work tomorrow. We are bummed Of course, *today* MusicMan cleaned out his pile in the garage so after trash pickup tomorrow I could get moving with my own clean up. Ah well. Just gives me projects to work on before LL kicks in right? Because [...]

And the timing is just not right for me on those at [...]
I figured out what this blog is!

Please do not be frightened
Thanks to Bennie, I give you this meme. And I apologize now for what I must share. Bennie caught me stopping to read blogs as I thought about what to do for breakfast. My friend had just called to spur of the moment suggest we meet to catch up and *still* I decided to continue [...]
