It's been 4 months that my Love passed away. If anyone wants to see, wonderful pictures of him are in message #15. I miss you, 'tinky'. We all miss you.
For we who love mystery: a great one went to Heaven today. As always, I have observed authors live a wonderful, long time. I hope I live up to the same career when I make it come true. She reached age 94 and published up to only 3 years ago: "Death Comes To Pemberley". Here's to you, Phyllis Dorothy James!!!!
My turn is here. Let's see if I at last wake up our group with this and see some nice chatting. It's my own birthday in three days! I'm excited that it's almost November 18th! Yeehaw! :)
Bev has won! Congratulations to her and everyone who read my post and played along, has my thanks. As always. I hope you enjoy my write-up about the answer to the riddles. Carolyn.
One of our members has handed in the right answer! You need to wage your guesses forA RIEDEL Clue ~ 3 by tomorrow, or a solitary person can win without a draw.
Sarah has won our all-contacts draw! Congratulations to my friend in Scotland! Here is her blog. www.Ageeksbookshelf.blogspot.co.uk Everyone can still share websites of haunted places at my blog, or here and I hope you do.What is extra special to me about this activity is hearing from folks who hadn't chimed in before: Amanda, Sue, I read your comments with pleasure! Betty Louise had a nice memory of her brother, Mom, and Grandma. Because I owned it, I've already finished the ghost novel recommended by her and Amanda! "Ammie, Come Home" differed from the ghost encounter I love best but is a 5-star story that enthralled me. I didn't expect it to be a mystery and that element was contributed too.
Be sure to ask, if there are questions about these festivities. I made it easy for everyone to chime in. If you haven't sensed, seen, or heard a spirit; have you photographed a haunted or sacred / miraculous site? Like the museum in my photo. One doesn't expect a ghost on film!If you haven't visited hallowed spots, look up attractions near you and give that website. It would be nice to have a collection of them around the world. It can be near home, or a hallowed spot anywhere that you have visited. http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2014/10...
This is a prize activity for all participants of my reading challenge trio and everyone connected with me! If we're Goodreads friends, or if you're subscribed to my RIEDEL Fascination blog - or are going to be now: you are invited! http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2014/10...
Hearing from people means a lot. We've come to that big date after Lovey's passing a month ago: their birthday, September 7th. We can get through it and make it happy for all.Happy fourth birthday to you Love, and to the other siblings continuing to grow in age: Conan, Angel, and Petal! We never forget you for an instant and love all of you!
Yours forever: Carolyn, Ron, McCartney, Spirit, and your Mom - Marigold.
LOVE RIEDELSeptember 7, 2010 to July 31, 2014
Here's to you: our dearly sweet, love-giving son!
My young boy, 'Love' atop our highest shelf. Cute at 11 months old. [August 2011.]
We kept finding Lovey around books. At 2 years-old, he toppled a storage trolly.
I laughed at the spill of paperbacks and considered this tableau artistic.
These were published before either of us were born! [September 2012.]
Here is Lovey at nearly 3 years-old, beneath the same shelf of our library/cat lounge.
There is a sidewalk between it and our house. [Aug 2013.]
My anniversary has been nice. Ronnie & I have celebrated it these 3 days. August 4th we went to a Mennonite museum; not a dusty building but a whole village, with farm critters to pet, authentic heritage buildings. Last night we exchanged our gifts because we wante to continue the spray of happiness through the extremely recent loss of our 4 year-old white cat, Love. See him in my profile picture with me right here.We were surprised by how much relief a very sentimental and positive funeral was for us, which even managed to include Love's six other cat family members; a good hour's service of our own! With songs, messages, and a last walk around our property, highlighting places Love played in especially.
Today, though Manitobans grow flowers earlier, I sowed Marigolds, zinnias, bachelor's buttons, and wild pink spray flowers around his resting place. We don't like call it specifically his grave: he isn't there. Merely the dear familiar body he finished with. Marigold is his Mother and the most glorious part of a flower, Petal, is his orange sister. All of a sudden, I feel I accomplished something useful and important. I retired and awakened feeling sick. Now, I feel less heavy in my soul. We went to the city to see about getting my few cell phone pictures off of a very old Nokia that is unlikely to plug into a CD. We'll try a bluetooth connection with someone's phone that has e-mail capacity and we'll try buying a data package (it's only a pay-as-you-go phone) that will let me attach the photos with a text message, to someone who would e-mail them to me. After heavy grief from July 31 onward, with a little relief in between; I am beginning to feel better and like I could read again.
It's hard to get through a family tragedy. But 4 days later it is our anniversary (non marital). So with chin up, I'm celebrating a positive event that's important. It'll do us good and we're about to go out. Happy fourteenth anniversary to Ron & I!
It is horrible and shocking to believe and tell all of you: one of our youngest kittens, only 3 years old passed away last night. We can't understand it. But our beautiful strong white male, Love, deserves to be honoured and his life mentioned so I'm letting the public know. He is the kitty in my profile photograph with me right now. He went to Heaven last night of unexplained causes; throwing up, breathing hard later, then dying in several hours. A big strong cat, not 4 years-old until September 7th, who adds so much brightness to our life. Dying in one day is unbelievable.The right thing to do now is prepare ourselves for a funeral tonight where we will let him go. Thank you, for supporting our family by reading this message. Our cats are people and children to us so we are sad. Every kind word and thought is tremendously uplifting to us right now. Carolyn & Ron.
The solution was added to the same post. A big thank-you to everyone for sharing your 2c! One can only play games if there are contestants. :) http://cmriedel.wordpress.com/2014/07...
Good morning, fellow mystery lovers! If no one guesses 'A RIEDEL Clue #2' by tonight, I'll automatically give a hint. There's no request in comments but it's unspoken. :) One person can win by wagering a correct guess today, without a hint though. A glance at the three ladies' bios is all it takes. www.CMRiedel.wordpress.com
Visiting 'All Challenge Updates' in my topmost blog menu, is the handiest way to keep track of events in all of the RIEDEL challenges. Alterting y'all individually to prize activities (if not subscribed to the blog) is difficult on dial-up telephone internet.Announcement: the second 'A RIEDEL Clue' will likely roll out tomorrow! It is for everyone in "My Kind Of Mystery", even if you're done that challenge, or haven't begun linking reviews yet.
Nina wins for "Gentle Spectrums" in Bulgaria and Rain wins for "Ethreal" in the southern USA! Congratulations to both of these lovely members. Read all of the details, browse the photographs, and comment at the RIEDEL Fascination blog.
