Happy 2016!

Posted on January 1, 2016January 7, 2016

Happy 2016! As I type that, I can hardly believe the date, especially as I look back on the year that just flew past. I’m reminded of the old slogan: Today is the first day of the rest of your life. It’s trite, and simplistic, but true. But I can’t help but ask myself–what am…

Summertime Fun, Colonial Style

Posted on June 15, 2015September 6, 2015

Hubby and I had the pleasure of spending the day in Colonial Williamsburg recently with a friend from college and her husband. We hadn’t see her in many (many) years, and it was wonderful to reconnect, as if we haven’t been separated by geography and the happenings of life. Add to that my love of…

Battling the Bulge: Adventures in Fitness

Posted on June 8, 2015June 6, 2015

(This blog was originally published on Tea & Strumpets.) Last week I wrote about my reasons for wanting to maintain a healthy-for-me weight. I wrote about my re-commitment to a healthier lifestyle and that I’ll be sharing my experiences with you. To start things off, I want to share my latest exercise find.. Wait….come back!…

Battling the bulge….why?

Posted on May 31, 2015May 31, 2015

This blog first appeared on the Tea & Strumpets blog on April 27. After writing monthly for some time about the crazy goings-on in a busy newsroom, I’ve decided to give cranky readers a rest and switch gears to something a bit more practical: battling the bulge. Yes, I mean that bulge – the one…

Adventures in Plants, Part…I don’t remember

Posted on May 28, 2015June 9, 2022

This blog originally appeared on the Roses of Prose, May 22. I’m plant-cursed Despite the fact that I’m a native of New Jersey (the GARDEN state), where I used to have thriving vegetable garden, and a bed of hostas that threatened to overrun the neighborhood, I’ve rarely had success with potted plants. In fact, gifting…

Danger lurks…at least in my mind

Posted on February 15, 2015April 24, 2022

(This blog originally appeared on the Roses of Prose on Oct. 22, 2014.) I live a pretty ho-hum life. I get up early, working on my writing for a bit (or that’s the theory), head into the my job at the newspaper where I busy myself for the next nine or so hours, then head…

Adventures in plants, part…whatever

Posted on February 8, 2015February 8, 2015

It’s a gorgeous winter day here in southeastern Virginia – mid-60s and sunny — so I thought I’d take advantage of the warmth and repot my two currently thriving plants. (Those of you who don’t know me should know this could be seen as plant-i-cide. I’m known to kill plants just by being in the…

OH in the Newsroom: There’s a lady in the lobby with an ugly sweet potato.

Posted on February 1, 2015June 9, 2022

This blog was originally posted on Tea & Strumpets, Oct. 2014. My most memorable moments in the newsroom often happen when I get a call from the receptionist that someone is in the lobby asking to speak to a reporter. Often it’s about “the story of the century,” and if we don’t want it, that…

Christmas Dance – Temptation

Posted on December 23, 2014December 23, 2014

Temptation– it’s been the bane of humankind’s existence since…well, since Adam and Eve ate of the forbidden fruit of the tree of life. I think it’s coded into human nature to want something you can’t/shouldn’t have. Alexandra and Sam are no different. In fact, they’re facing the perfect storm of temptation: A husband and wife…

Christmas Dance – Sam’s Story

Posted on December 9, 2014June 9, 2022

Sam Herrmann is a 30-something accountant, married for more than a decade to Danielle (Dani). Their paths crossed one hot summer night when he was running laps for their college’s football team and she, a flutist in the marching band, was at band practice. They fell, and fell hard, for each other and have been…
