Sometimes, I have to see “something” several times before a pattern emerges and I get an idea for a post. Recently, I have had two feeds to my FB wall, one from highexistence.com and another from wordporn, both defining the word, Hiraeth (he-writhe). In Welsh it means homesickness. However, in a broader sense, it also means […]
As I have said before, I am a sucker for a challenge and this is one I couldn’t resist. Before I go any further, let me link you to the site that started it all, A-Z. Challenging, though this maybe, to write a post with each successive sentence beginning with the next letter of the
Five Minute Friday’s word for 5 minutes of writing today is “together.” So here goes – There are days when I don’t feel that together. You know, you are in one place, but your mind is miles away. Maybe it’s in the past re-visiting a moment there or maybe it’s in the future, realizing an
The weather these days has been more like November than October, so I decided to wear my winter coat. Now I get attached to things and a warm coat that works – which means…… 1. It has lots of pockets. 2. It fits. 3. It’s long enough to cover those parts of the legs that

Have you heard of Kickstarter.com? I hadn’t until yesterday. It is a site that garners funding for art and other creative projects. I found out about it because a knitting designer that I have known for years wanted to publish her video on stranded knitting, however, she didn’t have the funds to do it. Enter
This post was the result of a conversation at dinner last night. Somehow, we got to talking about Yogi Berra. We mentioned a few of his more famous quotations and I said, that I bet, if I looked up some more, I could write a post on them. Well here goes… 1. “It ain’t over,
There was an article in the business section the other day about selling your home in the city and moving to a small town. Many do this when they retire, because, if you picked the right small town, you could perhaps buy a house at less than half the selling price of your house in
Another example of the power of networks. I was reading a blog posted in the Ultimate blog Challenge today and they mentioned that their post was the result of a prompt from the site, Five Minute Fridays. Here are the rules: We write for five minutes flat. All on the same prompt that I post here
