play along here 1. What’s the best thing you’ve done for yourself in recent days? Tuesday was a hard day for me, the anniversary of losing my father. So I took it easy on myself that day. I did yoga on the lanai when it was early enough that my only company was the birds. […]

play along here I meander around Zillow a lot. Not because I’m shopping for a new home, but for my job. I use Zillow for research and inspiration for my writing. Sometimes I use it to get an idea of an area… the costs, the look, that kind of thing. But I also like having […]

1. Something you’ve seen recently that’s ‘cuter than a June bug’? Thor the Scottish Highland cow, hands down. I feel good just watching this! 2. Tell us something about where you were and what you were doing in June of 1988? If you weren’t born yet, June of 1998. Or if that doesn’t work, June of 2008. […]

1. Do you enjoy an evening out?  It’s been a while for most people. Do you have any plans made? I definitely like the occasional evening out. It’s been over a year, and while I don’t have any plans yet, I definitely have a list of places to go. 2. What kind of activities do […]

This week’s questions are stolen from The Queen’s Meme 1. When is the last time you went out to a meal with someone special? Tell us about it. Mid-March 2020. Literally, a few days before Hawaii went into its first lockdown. We are still not entirely open, although the restaurants do have limited capacity seating. But […]

You’ll Never Know (1943) Unfamiliar with this week’s tune? Hear it here. 1) In this song, Haymes sings he must have reassured his girl “a million times or more.” Does it frustrate you when you have to repeat yourself? I’m a wife and a mother to four boys. Repeating myself has become second nature. And, yes. […]

play along here 1. When did you most recently have a change of heart? I honestly can’t think of any situation recently which has prompted me to have a change of heart. 2. In the coming months, what’s most likely to keep you up all through the night? Anything? Everything? Slep and I don’t get […]

play along here I’m a writer, and as such, I come across a lot of weirdness in the course of research. And that weirdness sometimes boggles my mind. Here’s a sample… 1. Your tonsils can grow back after a tonsillectomy. Often, not all the tissue is removed, so it’s possible for them to grow back. […]

1. Besides the flag, tell us about something red, something white and something blue from your weekend.  The tie on the cover of the book I binge-read this weekend is red, white, and blue… all in one! And it was such a great book, a tangled thriller. The best kind… one where there’s just no […]

1.   What was the best thing you have ever bought? I can’t think of one single “best” thing I’ve bought. Plus, there’s different kinds of “best.” My laptop would count as a “best” purchase in that it provided me the means to go back to college and get my degree, and it is how […]
