Random Bit of History

As you probably know, I’m redoing my WIP in 1st person.  I’ve mentioned that this has taken several wide turns.  As I was working on this Wednesday, a random bit of characters’ family history came about.  I thought I’d share it with you since I doubt it will make it into the final draft.

Now, a word of warning.  I just typed this.  It is very much a first draft. 

The setting for this text is a family meal.  The father (aka “Dad”) is speaking.  He’s telling his daughter-in-law the story (I’m not going to get into why).

Enjoy!

1st Blogiversary

I had to look up exactly which day in January I started my blog last year.  It turns out it was the 4th.  Really?  The 4th?  I thought it was closer to February.  Actually, I was thinking it was in February.

Nope.  It’s the 4th – making today the 1-year mark.

To celebrate (now that we’re all celebrated out from the last month of holiday stuff), I’m going to give some highlights and insights from the last year.

Head Shots: You Decide

I thought I’d come back from my little hiatus with something a bit fun and different.   As it is about time that I finally got an actual picture of me for my Gravatar/picture thinggy for all the various social media, I thought I’d let my loyal readers pick the photo.
