Where were we?

It’s been so long I don’t know if I remember how to blog. What is it I do again? It was much easier when I just sat down and wrote what came to mind. I guess that’s what I’m doing now. What is coming to mind is that, now that I’m an author, I need … Continue reading Where were we?

Today’s the day

I have not forgotten that I’m supposed to be a blogger. I have gone from Blogger, to Author to Publisher and now promoter.  It is soooo much work.  I can certainly see why you would pay someone to do all this for you.  It was suggested to me that now that I have figured out … Continue reading Today’s the day

Where am I?

Don’t worry, I know where I am.  Geographically anyway.  I am in anything-but-sunny San Francisco. Yes, I experienced the national grounding of airplanes yesterday and my flight was delayed for 4 hours.  BUT I will say everyone was calm.  When the flight at the gate next to mine cancelled, no one seemed upset.  Everyone just … Continue reading Where am I?

A nice way to start 2023

I received an email from Amazon today with the subject “Your paperback book has been published!” I cried. Seven years after I thought about turning those posts into a book I’ve done it. Finally Florida is a paperback book, for sale! For real! And like you can buy it! I have a proof copy with … Continue reading A nice way to start 2023

Merry Christmas Cake

I made my annual Pistachio Cake today.  I used to have to make 2, and wished I had made three because everyone loves this cake and I never had enough.  I got this particular cake recipe from my high school boyfriend’s mother.  I was 15 years old.  I remember her giving me the recipe and … Continue reading Merry Christmas Cake

The chair of happiness

I’m waiting for my butter to come to room temperature.  I’m having people over for brunch tomorrow and I need to get out of my pajamas and start cooking. I guess I don’t really need to get out of my pajamas to cook, but I feel like it might help me feel more like a … Continue reading The chair of happiness

A mildly entertaining blog for your enjoyment – you be the judge

I’m in the mood for a new rug. I’m not sure what that means.  I’m feeling like it’s a premonition because I don’t need a rug. Perhaps my living situation is going to change and I’m going to need a new rug and I’m getting a jump on ideas. Why else would I be looking … Continue reading A mildly entertaining blog for your enjoyment – you be the judge

Write about how you can be more present in your life and perhaps in the life of others

I had this writing prompt today.  Trying to get back in the swing of blogging.  I miss it you know.  I miss the camaraderie with myself.  LOL.  Seriously, when I write it’s like part of me is having this conversation with another part of me as I don’t know where most of the stuff I’m … Continue reading Write about how you can be more present in your life and perhaps in the life of others

Still a blogger

I told two people these past weeks that I’m a blogger.  I didn’t mention the retired part.  I just said I’m a blogger because it fit the situation at the time.  Well, then I realized I’m only a blogger if I blog.  Not wanting to be a liar I decided I better blog about something. … Continue reading Still a blogger
