Goin’ Places

I’m taking you on twofield trips today…

Our first stop: Amish Wisdom (I’m doing a Q & A while I’m there).

Our second stop: Destination Amish (talking about Christmas in Amish country and how it compelled me to write A CHRISTMAS MOURNING).

Christmas Bits

It’s December, so Christmas-themed bits are allowed!

1) Name a gift you’ve gotten in your stocking that you loved.

2) How many presents have you bought so far for Christmas?

3) What’s something you’d like to get?

4) Favorite Christmas-related treat?

Sprint

I’m not sure if it’s the upcoming holidays (and the desire to bake up a storm that comes with it) or not, but I’ve been having a hard time settling down to write.

Thankfully, my friend (and fellow writer), suggested the idea of writing sprints. Since I was kind of desperate, I decided to give it a whirl. The concept is simple enough: Set a time for an hour and do NOTHING for that hour except write. When the hour is up, you can do something else (check social media, throw in some laundry, eat,...

What’s yours?

In the Stack

You’re in a doctor’s waiting room and there’s a stack of magazines you can’t quite make out from your seat.

What one magazine do you hope is there?

Post Holiday Wrap-Up

I hope you all had a really nice holiday weekend! We had my cousin and her husband over for dinner on Thanksgiving and followed it all up with music (he plays the guitar). It was lovely.

The house is all decorated for Christmas now (inside and outside) and it looks great.

Now all that’s left “to do” is Christmas cards and shopping. I’ve gotten a few presents purchased, and a few others circulating in my thoughts, but I need to get moving so I’m not doing it during the final crunch.

Thanks x 3

In light of the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday and its busy-ness (cooking, baking, cleaning, normal work, picking up/returning DD # 1 at/to school), this is going to be my only post for the week. I’ll be back next Monday (Nov. 30th)!

In the meantime, before you go,tell us 3 things you’re thankful for this year…

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!

Turkey Time Bits

Today is the perfect day for pre-Thanksgiving bits!

1) Stay home or travel?

2) If you host, what is your specialty? If you go somewhere, what do you bring?

3) Is football part of your holiday?

4) Favorite part of your tradition (besides the turkey)?

Passing It On

If you could boil down your life advice to maybe three things you’d tell your kids (now that you’re older and wiser), what would it be?
