Bookstores & Squats

I have no shame when it comes to bookstores. I will explore every nook and cranny and not care how it makes me look. LOL. I haven’t done it in a long time, but I used to do more than squat. I didn’t care who was around me or what section I was in, especially… Continue reading Bookstores & Squats

Quitter Strip

Good Morning & Happy Tuesday. The coffee is on. I think I’m awake. I’ll know more after a seriously big mug of caffeine. 🙂 How are you? How was your long weekend. Ours was quiet, but enjoyable. There were many wonderful celebrations and gatherings to remember our military, past and present. Brave men and women.… Continue reading Quitter Strip

Memorial Day & Harry Potter

Good Morning, my friends. LOL. I have shed a tear or two for fictional characters more than once. I know I’m not the only one. You know you’ve done it, too.

All inhabitants are surrounded by a thick, white fog. There is no shelter or food. There is merely existence, until there isn’t. Eventually, one of… Continue reading The Shadowlands

More Gnomes

Nodrik and his brother gnomes are older than most residents of Merrihaven. There is a rumor that they are older than Boggle Hole, which is quite old. No one really knows the life span of a gnome, because there’s no documentation. They do make a mean bog ale and it’s quite possible the answer lies… Continue reading More Gnomes

Persephone

Persephone used to be a happy, carefree fairy. Her days were spent lounging under rose bushes, sampling honey from the nearest hive and staring lovingly at her collection of shiny things. Then one day, Persephone discovered Blue Magic. It only took one time for her to become hooked. She became the richest fairy in the… Continue reading Persephone

Pixies

​FUN FACT: Pixies are said to be notorious pranksters, but the pixies around Merrihaven have no interest in pulling pranks. They prefer to spend their days napping under the rose bush in the garden, using Bartholomew as a trampoline and consuming bits of sweet treats from the kitchen.
