Word for Wednesday

Word: Ignoble

What do you think the word for Wednesday means?

Come on out and play the game -
without you, it won't be the same.

It's just a guess or maybe two. . .
That's how you play, and what to do.

Then come back at 3:00 - to see
If you knew the words meaning all along
answer what is "write" and don't be wrong :)

The Fetch - a book review

The Fetch by Laura Whitcomb

A Supernatural Romance

This was a fun read, kinda like watching a Disney version of Anastasia - only for the older crowd.

I love stories about the Romonov family and Anastasia.

What ever happened to her?. . .

This is one book that gives us an idea - fantastical to say the least and entertaining along the way.

The only thing was . . . I wasn't happy with the ending.

Of course my son always says I want a Hollywood ending and, maybe I do.

This was no Disney or Hollywood ending so I don't know if I would recommend it because I like to walk away from a book feeling emotionally recharged - even if that book is a novel by Stephen King, which-by the way-I love. They always end with some sort of hope. . . and that's all I'm asking for.

A little hope at the end of the day.

So has anyone else read this book? What do you have to say? Am I all wet or do you agree with me? Please post your thoughts in "comments" and thanks for your side of the story.

One Year Old Today!!!

Okay, my sons sang this song to Danette Haworth about one year ago and now it's my blog's birthday - so I'm borrowing the song to wish myself a Happy Blog Day!

I don't have a sale and no PW news but I did make it to One Year in Blogdom!!!

So, here's to cyber connections - web-friendships and writing networks!

Family Reunions are all about Sharing, Caring and . . . DARING

Family reunions should be full of fun, festivities and maybe even a little fear-with a capital "F".

And I should know cuz it was the annual family reunion this weekend.

Since Mom and Dad had nine kids, our family can seem like an entire village - that's why we had to rent an entire camp to get together.

Luckily, there were no talks about old emotional wounds, family fights or bickering. It was a weekend filled with sports, eating, and celebrating what family really means: being there to share, to care, and to dare . . . one another to slide down the side of a mountain on a thin fiberglass make-shift slide.

How crazy can we be . . . ? I guess pretty crazy - because even an old chubby woman like me took the dare. Of course I zoomed down the slide faster than most - it's all that extra weight in the rear - literally - that got me going.

What else could we have done? Well besides roasting marshmallows and making smores,


most of us rode that water slide down the side of the mountain-and I bet people in town could hear me scream like a baby - lost my sunglasses at the bottom of the pond, because I was so nervous about riding the slide, I forgot I had them on - then we went canoeing and kayaking,

wakeboarding,


innertubing,

swimming, going for boatrides

watching wildlife roam around our camp,



having friends share in the fun


and more. It was a great way to spend a weekend.

Some family members didn't make it, for whatever reason, but the ones who did make it - made it a blast!

We all took turns making meals and cleaning up.

With about 50 people there was a lot to do and some things we never got to do. Of course the horseshoes were fun, but I missed out on the archery, putt-putt golf and volleyball. Can't do it all-but there's always next year.


So, do you have family reunions? What's the best part of the experience? Any tips for next year?
