Our word for today is “specialty.” Everyone has a specialty. You’re a great speaker, a fabulous artist, a wonderful cook….the list goes on. We seek out people and places to enjoy their specialties. We go to restaurants to savour certain dishes that are unique to them. We read authors that are particularly good a writing […]
Collusion is our writing word for today and it’s right up my alley, even if it isn’t my word. I’m a great believer in conspiracy theories. In fact, if the truth were known, I believe that almost everything is a conspiracy. I’m not even going to talk about how governments, drug companies, water suppliers, even
Our writing word for today is “trick.” It’s my word and I thought of it after spending an hour or so on-line looking for something that would outsmart or trick a groundhog. Last year, a groundhog ate all of my strawberries, most of my eggplants and too many of my tomatoes. Sigh! I wanted to
Our word for today is “pipe.” Again a word with so many meanings. Given the mood of today and the ugly people who have been voted in to “rule” us, the first image to come to mind is “pipe bomb.” An angry populace revolts. They make weapons at home, pipe bombs, to throw at the

With clothing, people wore hand-me-downs or re-fashioned items, to make, what was left, last a little longer –
Our word for today is “band” – it has many meanings. The first to come to mind is music – the camaraderie of music. People coming together to play instruments, sing, express joy. I’m not good enough to play my piano in a band, but my writing partner plays the flute and has joined a
Our writing word for today is “shame.” I have heard it often. “What a shame you didn’t come last week, the weather was perfect … or you would have met so and so … or … the list goes on. Yes, I have had my fair share of disappointments. So many in fact, that I’ve
