Keeping Promises

AS I PROMISED on Monday’s blog, I have started the first thousand words of my book. Keeping promises is a big deal to me. I guess that is why I don’t make many. But the ones I do, you can take it to the bank that I will come through. Once someone breaks a promiseContinue reading “Keeping Promises”

Curtains

I prefer blinds or a shade, because curtains just seem to be so heavy. As long as it blocks out the light, which is the whole point in the first place, n’est ce pas? What good are those flimsy, light window coverings unless you are an exhibitionist? I have blinds and  curtains on my officeContinue reading “Curtains”

To the politicians who know right from wrong and follow through in their actions with that in mind, merci beaucoup. ToContinue reading “Thanks”
