13 Random Things
1. My, it’s gotten awfully quiet around here since I moved the blog. 2. TWM, Dr. John, Kaye, Thank you! You stuck with me through everything. 3. I’m soooooo tired! I keep trying to fall asleep. Must be the release of all that tension now that my big trip is over. 4. It’s so nice to be home. I don’t have to worry about getting on line, or not being able to find my wrist brace, or what weird thing […]
By George! The Lords Are… Determined?
At this point in Mr. Al’s narrative George IV has become king, but has not yet become coronated. When he began his divorce proceedings it was his desperate hope to be rid of Princess Caroline as quickly and conveniently as possible. On August 17, 1820, the House of Lords began it’s inquiry. The Queen moved to a house in St. James Square, to be close at hand. She spent so much time at a front window, waving and bowing to […]
2/365 – Cactus
This was taken around Cabo-something-or-another. I’m not sure which of the Baja Mexico Cabos it was.
Frontier Airline’s Baggage Rules
I’m ticked off enough to name names this time. I flew out to the Romance Writer’s of America’s National Convention in Washington DC last Wednesday on Frontier Airlines. The first leg of the trip was normal, but the second leg was over booked. I took a duffel that came to exactly the limit as outlined by Frontier on their website – a total of 49 inches when combining height, width, and length. On the second leg of the trip out […]
Pop Tart Award
I absolutely love it when someone I admire gives me an award. This one is doubly nice because Mama Zen, who is cool and nice and has a great blog, gave it to me for Suzie’s House. Squeeee!!! This one is for a particular post. I’d like to pass it along to Andi, who did a post about Twilight a while back that resulted in my buying and reading the book. Until her post came alone I was quite content […]
Palms in the Desert
I’m letting the recipes slide again today because I’m still about 500 miles away from my recipe file. I thought it was a good day to show you some of my vacation shots. One of the weird things about Cabo San Lucas is water.
Rocks for Brains
Last week Jack found airline tickets in the trash of the woman who claimed to have their dog, Tonic. Jack: We should use them! Jill: What? Go to Cabo? What do you mean? Jack: Yeah, yeah! It’s a great idea. She must not want them. She threw them away. Jill: Wait. Jack. It doesn’t work that way. Jack: Can’t you imagine the sun and the surf, Pina Coladas in the pool, getting frisky on the beach? Jill:It doesn’t work that […]
Suzie’s House 122: Affirmations
Kathy paused in front of the kitchen table in Suzie Hammaker’s house. She’d delivered Gene into her care and provided the paper work. She had no further excuse, yet there she stood, unable to resist. “Are you aware of the story your son wrote?”
By George! She’s Come Home To Roost.
George IV made himself quite ill over how to rid himself of his wife, Queen Caroline. If he couldn’t do it before his father died, while she was merely a princess, how can he do it once she was queen? In June, 1820, Queen Caroline decided to return to England. It was not a sudden decision, but once she made up her mind to do so, nothing could stop her. Her demand for a royal yacht to pick her up […]
Someone Else’s Vacation
How much Cabo San Lucas do you want to see? Isn’t it a regular joke that friends and family will bore you to tears with pictures of their vacation? That or make you envious. I’d just as soon not subject you to either condition. But, Andi said she wanted to see a lot more than the few measly pictures I was able to post so far. How about you? Do you want to hear about my vacation?
Food in Cabo
I was really hoping to be able to share some pictures of food with you, even if I couldn’t come up with a recipe this week. But alas. No go. I made the mistake of taking the pictures with my own camera, which I can’t down. As soon as I get a chance I’ll go to another camera store and try to replace the cord. My problem is the camera is a few years old, and discontinued. It’s getting hard […]
