Bite size posts about words. This entry was posted on August 22, 2014, in Words I like the sound of. It was a Saturday morning in May of 2013. We were seated around a table in the meeting room at Lackman Library discussing The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly. When one of our members pronounced, I thought it was schmaltzy. Oddly, that’s one that I think a number of people who haven’t read it would be tempted to call schmaltzy. But it’s not. Not at all. Okay, so where does schmaltzy. It’s Yiddish, of course!

Bite size posts about words. This entry was posted on May 14, 2014, in Words I like the sound of. Words others have shared. The morning was so gorgeous, we were thinking we might have a picnic on the front lawn in the afternoon. Sadly, the rain put the kibosh. On that plan. Kibosh. In my head as ka-bosh. But all the research I do indicates kye-bosh is correct. For such a funny word with very questionable origins, I don’t know that it matters. According to etymology online. 3 thoughts on “ Kibosh.

A state of mind. A place in time. A Lesson LearnedYears Later. This entry was posted on August 29, 2012, in best friend. Seven years ago today Hurricane Katrina devastated Louisiana and Mississippi. Some 1,836 people lost their lives. And many, many more lost their homes and livelihoods. Like most of the country, I felt this loss, and my heart ached for those individuals and families.

A state of mind. A place in time. Where the Road Leads. This entry was posted on May 13, 2013, in friends. A couple of hours later, it sparked a conversation with my long-time digital world friend, Julie. I don’t know if Julie will make that trip (I hope she does! But I do know my world is a richer, more joyful place because of the roads I’ve taken, the people I’ve connected with, be that in the physical world or the digital one.
