At the Beach for Wednesday Whimsy
Seems to me the hot days of August are a good time to share my Victorian trade (advertising) cards that depict good times at the beach!
The three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.Henry Beston
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea. Anne Morrow Lindbergh
A beach is not o...

Veronica Takes A Magazine Clutter Quiz
I’ll start by saying that I happen to like a LOT of knickknacks and decorative elements in my personal living space. This started when I was a little kid and was sick quite often (thank you, penicillin, for being invented before I was born or I wouldn’t be here to write this blog). When I was lying in bed bored, I enjoyed having pretty and interesting things around me to contemplate.
Recently I moved and in the course of packing, was able to send boxes and boxes of stuff to Goodwill, but stil...

Guest Author Jody Wallace Talks TRAITOR (MAELSTROM CHRONICLES 2)

Bicycles for Wednesday Whimsy
Continuing on with my very loose theme of summer activities, today I’m sharing some charming Victorian trade (advertising) cards on the subject of bicycles. And who knew there were so many great quotes about bicycles?! Of course the quotes aren’t Victorian….
Life is like a ten speed bicycle. Most of us have gears we never use.Charles M. Schulz
Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.H. G. Wells
She who succeeds in gaining the mastery of th...

Thoughts on Episode One of Spike TV Tut
King Tut is probably one of the most well known Egyptian Pharaohs, not for anything he actually accomplished in his short reign, but for the magnificence of his golden death mask and the intrigue of his tomb, with its riches, possible curse and other mysteries. I think someone had an inspired idea at Spike TV to do a mini series based on the life of this boy king,since not much is truly known about him.
I love movies and TV shows about ancient times and especially ones set in the Egypt of tho...
