The Time Travel Journals: Bridgebuilders Chapter 4
I’m a little late today, but Chapter 4 is up!
In this chapter, we’re returning to the original universe. For those keeping score at home, you’ll know this is “our” universe.
Note the difference in the date. The second universe is 100 years behind us, so while it is 1980 for Sam and Sarah, it is 2080 here.
If you’re just starting, chapter 1 is here. Each chapter links to the next one.

A Useful Blog: Food Babe
I’ve just found the most amazing website and I want to pass it on. It’s called Food Babe. You can bet I’ll be posting links to special articles once in a while, because Food Babe is serious about Real Food!
One of my favorite parts of her site is the section on travel tips. These are great! I already bring my own food when we travel. I never want to have to eat the stuff they serve on the plane. It’s scary.
I also like her recipes for beauty treatments. I’m definitely going to try that coconut...

Author Ramblings
I must be feeling uninspired these days. I find another week as gone by (so quickly!) and I have only made one post. This has been a pattern. On one hand, this is not-so-good for a blog, as readers expectsomeinput. On the other hand, I haven’t been torturing you with inanities.
My life has not been static. In the last week, I’ve become a grandmother again:
