Eileen Dreyer's Blog: There's Old and Then There's Old
http://eileendreyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/theres-old-and-then-theres-old.html
Monday, October 11, 2010. There's Old and Then There's Old. Everybody in America knows what old is. Old is before television. Old is before computers and microwaves. Really old involves either Pilgrims or Native Americans, who fought nature to tame a wild and often unforgiving land. That is old. We in America are infants. All I have to say is, Americans are infants. Kind of makes our “George Washington Slept Here” signs silly in comparison. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Eileen Dreyer's Blog: I Get It Now
http://eileendreyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/i-get-it-now.html
Friday, October 15, 2010. I Get It Now. I have always wanted to travel to Italy, specifically Pompeii and Venice. I know. It makes no sense, but there you are. For different reasons, both places drew me. So when I agreed to plan the family trip to Italy, the stipulation was that we include Pompeii and Venice. Why do I have to leave? I know. It's been written every way but haiku (and if given the chance, I'd do one) about the romance and timeless beauty of Venice. Painters have struggled for centu...I'd h...

Eileen Dreyer's Blog: We're Not At McDonald's Anymore
http://eileendreyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/were-not-at-mcdonalds-anymore.html
Wednesday, October 06, 2010. We're Not At McDonald's Anymore. Now, on a regular Italian menu, you start with the Antipasti, which is what we call Appetizers in the US. The first course, or Primi, involves your pasta and pizza, which come on plates larger than I could consume in an entire day. You can also get vegetables, of course, or, to my eternal surprise, the best french fries I've ever had. And I haven't even begun to address how good the food is. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Wednesday, June 30, 2010. The Joy of Planning. I know. Anybody who has ever known me will look at that title and laugh. I hate to plan anything. Because of my ADD, I have- resentfully- learned to make lists and rely on calendars. But how much fun can planning be? When it leads to a trip to India or Ireland or Chile is at the end of it, a lot of fun. Do you know how many review sites there are? But I digress. Let's see. What's next? If I have to sacrifice something, is it Florence or Venice? So if I wrote...

Friday, March 21, 2008. Rejoice, my druids! Yeah, I seem to have a lot of flower pictures latey. But I just walked out my door to see that there were tiny irises blooming by the walk. Deep purple ones. It hit me right in the head that it's spring. I can breathe now. Wait til I get back to my writing. It's spring! Eileen/Kathleen, the evil twins. Monday, March 10, 2008. The Continuing Story of Eileen and the Book. I'll keep you posted on my progress. I'm also going to add a research page to the Kathle...

Eileen Dreyer's Blog: May 2010
http://eileendreyer.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
Friday, May 28, 2010. I'm always telling people how much I yearn for adventure. For new experiences. For travel to new and exotic places. Don't get me wrong. I love St. Louis. I like being in the same city as my entire family. But it has long since been a widely acknowledged truth that I was born with the Irish wonderlust. Happily, I married the perfect man. Not only does Rick understand that if we have twenty dollars set aside, it goes to the next trip. He doesn't care that we'll never move from...I hop...

http://eileendreyer.blogspot.com/2010/10/where-do-you-get-your-ideas.html
Wednesday, October 20, 2010. Where Do You Get Your Ideas? Probably the most frequent question I'm asked. And wish I could give people a better answer than “everywhere.” But I'm afraid that's the truth. Maybe if I tell you about how my latest idea is forming, you might get a better idea. She still knows too much. She is still a threat to the group her husband belongs to. She would do anything to protect him, even refuse to speak of his involvement. But she knows that she cannot remain this way...Through t...
