Do the uncharitible deserve our charity?

Posted on December 19, 2011

When faith and hope fail, as they do sometimes, we must try charity, which is love in action. ~ Dinah Maria Mulock. * I noticed that quote this morning on Twitter. Just one of dozens of messages downloading on my screen every minute or so, it caught my eye because charity has been on my…

Holiday Blog Hopping … and Disappearing Days!

Posted on December 19, 2011

A terrible thing happened this morning when I got up. I looked at the calendar. That’s “terrible” because I saw the date and realized I’d done it again. I’d lost whole days, maybe weeks, into some vacuum of space time continuum, or something…whatever it is that makes time simply disappear! Somehow in my brain, days…

My sister, the wine snob

Posted on December 12, 2011August 27, 2021

My sister is a wine snob. Before you take me to task for saying such an uncharitable thing in this season of love and peace, that’s her characterization, not mine. She revealed this to me only yesterday, at this “advanced” stage of our relationship, as we discussed my recent experience with the beverage.  Up to…

Six Sentence Sunday ~ 12/11

Posted on December 10, 2011June 9, 2022

Happy Six Sentence Sunday, everyone! This week I’m back to Jack and Rachael, but back to the beginning, to Jack’s first glimpse of Rachael. (I just love those first sightings!) He’s channel surfing with the remote in his hand, starts to click, then sees her on the screen. __________________________ Before he could depress the button,…

I think I’ve got it!

Posted on December 5, 2011

I think I know how Eliza Doolittle felt on that fateful day when Professor ‘Enry ‘Iggins finally taught her how to vocalize her H’s! It’s that thrill of discovery, that shock of pleasure over a found 5-dollar bill. It comes unexpectedly, often when least expected—that sensation of sheer joy and rightness with the moment. Or…

Six Sentence Sunday ~ 12/4

Posted on December 4, 2011June 9, 2022

Hello and welcome to Six Sentence Sunday, where writers share bits and pieces of their works. This week I thought I’d take a break from Jack and Rachael to share six from a short story I’m writing for a little girl whom coworkers and I “adopted” for Christmas. She’s 7 years old, loves playing dress-up,…
