Tuesday, February 10, 2015. It never ceases to amaze me. A group of women enter a room. Friends, acquaintances, and strangers. The introductions begin and the familiar walls are erected. We all do it. Leading with our best foot. Nothing wrong with that…. But then the magic happens. A woman begins to read. It could be a work of non-fiction, a tale of real-life. A moment of grace, a moment of fear, a time of great joy, a description of her life or an odd observation. It could be a story of fiction. I usual...

Tuesday, March 31, 2015. I've been writing a novel. There, I said it. I've started it over 3 times. No, as of this week, 4. 3 Lots of prayer. 4 The First Five Pages by Noah Lukeman. Every time I start over - mind you, it's the same exact story, just tweaked. I think "This is it! I've got it this time! And I do until I decide I don't. So THIS time, I've really got it. I KNOW it this time! I understand that this is typical writer behavior. My situation is not unique. That has a message. How vague is that?

Friday, September 19, 2014. I'm partial to fall cleaning over spring cleaning. I suppose I could do both. I hate to clean. Fall is the time I like to clean under sinks. Mostly because I'm in the house all winter and I don't want to be in a dirty house all winter. Makes sense, no? This year I cleaned my blinds. I won't tell you the last time that happened. It never occurred to me honestly. Yes, I saw the dust on occasion but I looked away and it disappeared out of sight. So I cleaned them.inch by inch.

Tuesday, June 9, 2015. The Case of the Cat in the Morning-Time. My cat, Lola, is a creature of habit. She is so predictable, I could set my coffeemaker by her. I get up at approximately 6am. As I creak down the stairs. An aside.can you hear yourself go down the stairs? My knees sound like crinkling cellophane. Yet I don't feel them, I just hear them. As I creak down the stairs, Lola moves from the couch, where she's been slumbering,. To the kitchen.to stand in front of the fridge.and wait. Either she thi...

Wednesday, January 14, 2015. In Olympia, on Christmas eve, if you go anywhere outside of your home, there is a harried rush of last minute activity. Shoppers dart from store to store buying gifts they’ll realize they didn’t need and grocery aisles are a traffic jam of carts filled with the leftovers of tomorrow. Monday, January 12, 2015. What I Did On My Christmas Vacation. Took my virgin trip across the pond. Got a stamp in my passport. Schlepped too much luggage on planes, trains and automobiles. Witne...

HA! Moments: Massacre at Spurgeon Meadows
http://heather999.blogspot.com/2015/06/massacre-at-spurgeon-meadows.html
Thursday, June 18, 2015. Massacre at Spurgeon Meadows. It could be a headline. Except it won't be. There was a massacre in my back yard last night. I heard something early in the morning. It sounds like birds. Heather, what is that? I must be dreaming. The sounds began again. I tossed and turned.not thinking what I heard was odd. What an annoying noise! Then I woke up because I realized it was dark and I was hearing birds! I ran downstairs and flipped on the porch light. There are two left. I'm disappoin...

Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Contrary to this summer's weather, it is usually quite rainy here in Washington. We put a lot of importance on rain management. They're a necessary ugly. So this summer, as I spruced up the back porch,. I decided to replace one of our more dispensable gutters with a rain chain. I've seen many rain chains online and in stores for upwards of $100. 100 to manage dripping rain? Seemed a bit steep to me! So, as usual, I decided to make my own. Here's what my gutter looked like before.

Thursday, November 20, 2014. I don’t mean to brag, but I have several enviable superpowers. I’ll do my best to share them all with you, but since one of my superpowers is forgetting simple things at inopportune times, I may be prevented from remembering every single one. On that subject, as I write for this blog or for my novel, I often forget the simplest and most common words. That’s just one of my many superpowers. That, my friends, takes talent…no…power. He will compliment me on the meal, not having ...

HA! Moments: Some Thoughts on Ironing...
http://heather999.blogspot.com/2015/06/thoughts-on-ironing.html
Thursday, June 25, 2015. Some Thoughts on Ironing. Why would you iron? One of my greatest skills is my ability to avoid the chore. Confession time.and this is a true story so please don't judge me.or do.I'm confident in my anti-ironing convictions. My sister was teaching my daughter to sew (she's the seamstress in the family, every family has one). And they needed to press a seam before sewing it.or something. I don't sew so I don't know. Ironing is part of the reason I don't sew. That's what I thought.
