My rating: 4 of 5 stars Madison Cruz is back for her third adventure (misadventure?) here in "Stiff Competiton." She's been dating Jason, from book 2, but things are not going well. He wants her to conform to his idea of how their life should be, and that doesn't include Madison's acting career. Her career … Continue reading Friday Review: Stiff Competition (Madison Cruz Mysteries #3) by Lucy Carol
For those of you who don't follow American football, you can skip this post, because Imma talk football today! The first thing I have to say is: Go, Pack, GO! I have two teams, to be honest. My personal team is the Oakland Raiders. How in the world did a Pennsylvania girl who now lives … Continue reading Monday Musings: Go, Pack, Go!
Sorry about the lack of Monday post. I wanted to. Really, I did. But then there were so many other things to do, and, well, I just never sat down long enough to get 'er done. But I got some stuff done that has been waiting for too long, so I guess that is something, … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: January and Onward
So, I have been seeing a lot of looking back at the year just ended retrospectives on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I thought: Well, why not? Let's grab hold and jump aboard that train. I sat down. I looked at this nice, white, blank screen. I began to think. And what I concluded was: Stick … Continue reading New Year, New- Ah, Never Mind
I'm pretty sure we did. How about you? It was a good day. All the kids and grandkids were here. It was noisy, and chaotic, and frankly, by the time they all left, I was grateful for the quiet! But that's what a holiday is- family and fun and festivity. Dinner was delicious, everyone seemed … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: We Made It Through Christmas, Didn’t We?
Christmas is this weekend. Seems to have come up really fast, at least to me. Of course, that means another year will be passing into history. Can't say I am sorry to see 2016 go. With all the wonderful souls we have lost, both personal and celebrity, friends who have had tough times, and a … Continue reading Monday Musings: Holiday Greetings!
We added a wreath on the door to our Christmas decorations this year. We'd looked at some earlier, but anything that was more than a couple pine cones stuck into the side and one of those red-flocked bows was really, really pricey. I knew I could make one cheaper. We got a really good deal … Continue reading Monday Musings: Stuff and Nonsense
Well, we really didn't go anywhere, but my hiatus from the blog for Thanksgiving went on a bit longer than I originally planned, and turned into a mini-hiatus from most of the internet, as well. I was around, just not as much as I normally am. And, I see you all managed to survive just … Continue reading Monday Musings: And We’re Back!
With a lot to do. We have company coming on the weekend, and our family Thanksgiving on Sunday. Pesky schedules, you know. But that's what happens when the family grows and changes. You have to change with it. So, things may be a little light in here this week. Think of it like the November … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts: It’s A Week
It took me a long time to decide what to say about yesterday. It was such a jumble of emotions and thoughts that I needed time to process and untangle. I'm not sure I have completely done that, but I'm going to try to put out some thoughts. I am afraid, deeply afraid. That's the … Continue reading Post Election Day. Not Post-Mortem.
And So On...
