Niagra Falls … The Beginning
Published October 17th, 2009 in Humor, Husband, Nina and Personal. 8 CommentsI wasn’t sure where to start with the trip because there’s so much to tell you. But I thought I would share all of it, so I’m starting at the very beginning. First of all, I must say … it was wonderful. Exhausting, but wonderful.

A Whole Lot of Nothing
Published May 11th, 2009 in Children, Complaints, Husband, Life Observations, MERWA and Ramblings. ClosedSorry about the lack of blogging over the weekend.

She raised 5 kids, ( I really wanted to [...]

Knuckles are cracking!

The New England Writer’s Conference (NEC) was everything I hoped it would be. Writer’s, agents, editors, learning, networking, brainstorming and FUN! (And if anyone hears that I was naughty and a little wild on our “off” time… don’t believe ‘em!) Everything I needed to [...]
Over the hills and through the woods…
Published February 4th, 2008 in Fun, Husband and Personal. 6 CommentsTo the Emergency Room we go! Sing with me! Oh yeah! So, the story starts (as it has for the last three weeks)… The weather was beautiful; a balmy 20 degrees F with the sun hanging in a cloudless cerulean sky, fresh snow powdering the evergreens and DH says “how about a snowmobile ride?” How could I refuse with [...]
