- To the tune of "Over the River and Through the Woods." Over the ocean and through the skies,To the island of Guam I fly,The plane knows the way,To land near the bay,While islanders shout "Hafa Adai!" ("Welcome," in Chamorro, the native tongue.) I was welcomed to the island of guam by Aunt Vicki, Uncle Bill, and my two cousins Velma and Woody, who I lived ...

- I have to be honest. My family doesn't share this recipe with just anyone. But we're friends, right? So, once again I am sharing the recipe for my family's pumpkin pie -- the best and easiest recipe in the world. I blogged about baking at my grandmother's house last year about this time. This was one of the first recipes I learned to make, and I make pumpkin pie all fall and winter. ...

- The holiday was great - the weather was kind and I loved it. The only slight problem was that for some reason I was sick as a dog the first night so was up for most of it. Unfamiliar bathrooms are never pleasant when you're ill. Still, at least I got a lot of the puzzles in my Puzzler magazine done. How I love puzzles.We also managed to see several new birds including a glorious great white egret ...

- WHAT ARE YOU THANKFUL FOR? Come on, admit it. We’ve all done it. We’ve all been in some scary, sick or sad situation, one that makes us desperate enough to promise the deities some positive act or that we’ll refrain from ever do something negative ever again. When it’s over, we’re more than thankful. Then life gets in the way. How quickly we forget…. During the month of ...

- The cards have started appearing in my mailbox. My birthday is very close to Halloween. Sometimes, people send me the ones colored orange and black with cats and witches on the front. They read Happy Halloween Birthday! The thing is, Halloween was my mother's birthday. People still get them confused - wasn't I born on Halloween? Nope. But that's okay. Close enough. My husband was born on ...

- Howdy folks, It's been a VERY busy week. Ending with a super busy weekend, as the final edits (tweaks) of terrorbyte needed to be back to my gorgeous editor A-sap. She's going away, I'm going away - so everything has to be finished before we both take a break! I worked all yesterday morning to get the final few niggly tweaks done and then looked it over again last ...

- Italy was kind of fun, I must say - the best thing was just getting away and not having to think about all the other stuff, to be honest. Such a treat. I wouldn't say it was our favourite ever holiday, probably not by a long chalk, but there were some great (and some not so great ...) highlights, including:1. Assisi. It's fabulous - I really loved it, far more than I thought I would. I'd go back ...

- Heck, where do I start? What a supremely busy day it's been today. First off I must say happy 16th wedding anniversary to us as of tomorrow, hurrah! Well gosh and it's astonishing that Lord H hasn't sent me back to the Wife Shop yet. We're celebrating today though as tomorrow we're off to Italy at some ungodly hour and there'll be no time for anything but packing and panicking. Bring on that ...

- Happy Labor Day! To those who have the day off, enjoy! Of course, normally I work Mondays and I do have the day off, but only in a roundabout way. Let me explain. As the third and part-time pharmacist in the store in which I normally work, I don't have to work the holidays. They get split between the two full-time pharmacists. However, because they can only work so many hours per week, ...

- Goodness me but I am the Queen of the Naps today. And yesterday even - the moment I got in from work, I fell asleep, then this morning I was asleep until Lord H left for work, and this lunchtime I've had to have another hour's nap just in order to feel capable of facing the day. Obviously I need it then! I'm not eating very much either and don't feel at all hungry, though I'm drinking lots. But ...
