AND SO IT GOES; SEEKING HELP FOR PUTTING BOOK TOGETHER

     Okay – no one said it would be easy – BUT it is time for a breath break! John is home and doing well – still not back to normal, but getting there. Car will probably be fixed on Monday and meanwhile we have a loaner.
     I am actually putting together a book (not [...]

AND SO IT GOES

     If you have the same weird sense of  humor that we have – or have been forced to have – you will laugh and not be surprised that I spent the beginning of September in the hospital (where else?). Had congestive heart failure – sounds worse than it is, but it did have all [...]

WOW OF A CRUISE

      Got home from the cruise to Bermuda yesterday. Missed the hurricane – thank God – did have some rough seas the last day. The whole family was there 13 of us, 8 adults and 5 kids ranging from almost 8 to almost 17. Good weather, little rain but since they spent most of their [...]

STILL IT RAINS

     I guess I am not totally bummed – there has been some “sorta”  sun between showers.  My flowers will not bloom without sun – 2 petunias and lots of geranium leaves – if you look hard one bud, definitely not blooming!
     Grandsons here last night (ages eleven and almost eight) for a sleepover – told [...]

JULY ALMOST GONE

     It has been a great summer of poetry so far – checkout Barron’s Poets’ Wednesday, Middletown Public Library’s Last Thursday and a new reading at Frank’s Cafe in Red Bank.  Also, Tony Greuenewald’s new book “The Secret History of New Jersey” is out – available on Amazon.
     John’s surgery will be after we get [...]

SUMMER – OH YEAH?

     It has been really too wet and all this gray makes me sad and lethargic.  And it has been wet!  Every time I think the yard cannot get soggier – it does get soggier.  So, I put all my summer stuff out in the house -turquoise and shells and tea lights in sand. Maybe [...]

LOTS OF POETRY

     Diane is a GEM!!  The festival on the 17th was quite wonderful. Stacey Balkun and Zach Lichtmann, reading for ELR, were wonderful – new voices for many of the people there.  It is great when we are exposed to the young and fresh new writers, and these two did a good job of bringing [...]

MAGAZINE FESTIVAL

    Hope we will see you all at the Magazine Festival on Sunday, May 17 at the West Caldwell Library from 1 to 5.  So many fine magazines to  look at and to buy and editors to talk to. It is always a wonderful event with time to see old friends and to make some [...]

DIDN’T I DO THIS ALREADY?

    Ok, all you who bet I’d be back in a week – you lose!!! But do I ever have the excuse of all excuses! Went to NYC for the reunion (which was great at least during the couple of hours I got to spend there). The night before, we went to dinner in a [...]

Lots of Stuff

     Okay – been a while. I don’t know why I don’t get here and update the post. It is fun and I love the comments, but somehow it  is always too late or I am too tired or just life…
     I have been doing the poem-a-day for National Poetry Month. I think I like [...]
