To learn more about an 1830 Thanksgiving, watch the feast at Old Sturbridge Village here (approx. 3 min.) http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? You can get the reci...

Patti's Porch: June 2012
http://pattisporch.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
The Over 50 Writer. Sunday, June 17, 2012. I suppose all of us who have lost our dads take a few minutes on Father's Day to wander down memory lane. My dad passed sixteen years ago, at the age of seventy-six. My sis and I used to ride our bikes down to the store, where dad would fix us ice cream cones. One of our big moments was to meet dad at the corner of our street and the highway when he was on his way home from work so we could hop in the car and ride back to the house with him. Dad played the piano...

Patti's Porch: January 2012
http://pattisporch.blogspot.com/2012_01_01_archive.html
The Over 50 Writer. Friday, January 27, 2012. Have a God Day! When I got my first Tracfone, I thought the T9 word feature was the coolest thing. I wasn't an avid texter, but when I did send out a text, the T9 word would seem to anticipate what I wanted to say as if by magic. I could craft a message with only a few taps of my fingers on the keys. Once in a while, I would text "Seeds, are you there? However, that combination of letters in T9 word also translates to "refer." I would get a "LOL! God is creat...

The Over 50 Writer. Tuesday, September 13, 2011. An Interview with Author K. Dawn Byrd. My apologies to Dawn, who sent me this interview several weeks ago. A trip out of town was unexpectedly extended this summer prevented me from posting it before now. Hello, Dawn. It is my pleasure to welcome you to Patti’s Porch. When did you begin your writing journey? I started writing about three years ago and have found that I couldn't stop if I wanted to. It's more than a hobby, it's a passion! What kind of takea...

Patti's Porch: April 2012
http://pattisporch.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
The Over 50 Writer. Tuesday, April 24, 2012. In Case You're Wondering. In case those of you who visit my web site are wondering what happened, I managed to totally mess up all of the changes my web master did to my site. She added a new header, updated my About Patti page and added two new blog pages. Enter non-techie me and my creative granddaughter! It's all still there somewhere, but my web master is writing on deadline for the next few weeks and won't be able to do a total fix for a while. I learned ...

Patti's Porch: Nano Day 11 - um - day 1?
http://pattisporch.blogspot.com/2012/11/nano-day-11-um-day-1.html
The Over 50 Writer. Sunday, November 11, 2012. Nano Day 11 - um - day 1? OK, on October 31st, I signed up for that totally maniacal and obsessive November event, NaNoWriMo. For those of you non-writers who don't know what that means, it stands for National Novel Writing Month. It's a commitment to write 50,000 words during the thirty days of November. Yeah, 100K is a lot for an unfinished novel, but much of it is rewrites of the same scene or even scenes I know will eventually be cut altogether. I go...
