Additions To My Library

Enjoyed two of the latest additions to my library, the new novel Chances Are… by a favorite author, Richard Russo, and The Chain by Adrian McKinty, which I can already picture up on the big screen after the movie rights were bought. Soon to be added to the library is the new coffee table book of a…

What’s For Breakfast?

“When you wake up in the morning, Pooh,” said Piglet at last, “what’s the first thing you say to yourself?” “What’s for breakfast?” said Pooh. “What do you say, Piglet?” “I say, I wonder what’s going to happen exciting today?” said Piglet Pooh nodded thoughtfully, “It’s the same thing,” he said.

The Week In Seven Photos

There were so many moments again this week that I thought the chance for blue skies or completing my Week In Seven Photos post would only occur when pigs fly. Thankfully I received inspiration from this flying pig to capture the photos and you may notice a very gray theme since the blue skies never…

The Week In Seven Photos

I’m going to blame my recent cold, a spell of vertigo, the weather and Harper’s decision to begin her days at 4:00 a.m. for a bout of exhaustion this week and a lack of desire to go wandering with my camera. I did manage to go out in the front yard with the camera on…

Great Gumbo, Book And Music

My view is there is health food and then there is mental health food. A gumbo lunch with potato salad and fabulous French bread qualifies as the latter. Ken Wells – Gumbo Life Jambalaya (On The Bayou) – Van Morrison/Linda Gail Lewis
