Amazing Voyages of the Turtle

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2012/10/dorchester-be-it-ever-so-humble.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Be it ever so humble. Yes, we are at home. We decided not to spend the night in Vancouver last night, because we wanted our own pillows; we got home some time after 7:00 pm and managed to stay up until 9:00. That was 22.5 hours after we got up, so we figured we had done our best. Meanwhile, we will be heading to Texas in January, and before that, there's NaNoWriMo to keep me busy. And work, of course. So where are you looking for cottages? 160;Une...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: November 2010

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Friday, November 19, 2010. Browsing through the Past. Just a few days ago, a friend on Facebook asked me to submit a recipe to an exchange that she has started. I set the idea aside, then almost forgot about it until this morning, when I got some family news, the kind that sets you to sighing and remembering and maybe crying a little. The news sent me to my recipe box. 350F oven, 40-45 minutes. 1/2 lb. butter or margarine - Cream well. 2 cups sugar - Beat in. So if you're p...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: January 2011

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2011_01_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Monday, January 24, 2011. Today's Monday. Today's Monday. Monday is washing day - and vacuuming day, and finding the long-lost surfaces in my home day. In the course of my housecleaning, I came across these silly socks. I suppose I should consider getting a few more pairs, too - or I'll only be able to write once a week. Do you wear something special when you write? Links to this post. Saturday, January 22, 2011. I received a wonderful Christmas present from my husband - a ...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: June 2010

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Wednesday, June 30, 2010. I would like to express my thanks. Unfortunately, I'm going to be mixing metaphors in the process, but please bear with me. I think it will all come together in the end. Reya Mellicker ( The Gold Puppy. No matter where I go, there I am. I find myself in awe of the people around me who live where they grew up, who have friends from their childhood, whose lives are, for lack of a better word, a gestalt. Brave words, eh? Links to this post. So that's ...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: February 2012

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Friday, February 24, 2012. Deep in the Heart of Texas. I also spoke to my friend Jane this morning, and she passed on a message from my next-door-neighbour which went: "Blog, woman! I think the Fisher Price doctor kit was her favourite gift. Three times this week, I've had the pleasure of looking after my great-great-nephew (great-grand nephew? Who is one of the sweetest babies I've ever met - - even when he's awake! I think the walk helped us both to relax. Now I have ...

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2012/10/dance-me-to-end.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Saturday, October 27, 2012. Dance me to the end. I can hardly sit still, I'm so excited. All year, I've looked forward to this night, this journey, this hand on my arm, this man at my side. Sometimes I wish that the Willow Manor Ball. Can you believe it? What I love about this bracelet, by the way, is that it's really a watch, so when I'm dressing for the ball, watching for my escort (I'll tell you later who that is, but I've already given you a clue! I thought at first tha...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: July 2010

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Thursday, July 15, 2010. Lions and Tigers and Bears,. That lasted about two minutes, until I heard a noise behind me. It was sort of a "Thwump" sound - a growl? Something landing hard on the ground? I wasn't sure. Whatever it was, it caused my blood pressure to soar. I whirled around to face my attacker, who turned out to be a pleasant young man walking his German shepherd. Oh, my god - you scared me out of my skin! About halfway down the walkway, I saw Robin approaching on...

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle: September 2010

http://sandarastraveljournal.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html

Amazing Voyages of the Turtle. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. I just glanced outside, and there it was - my chariot, as Denzel called it - the gleaming black Lear jet that will whisk us off to Willow's Manor. For the Annual Ball. I'm still basking in the glow of last Autumn's party! I can hardly believe that a whole year has passed. What do you think of my shoes? It was the back of the gown that I found irresistible. I hope it has the same effect on my date. Denzel, would you mind? You look fabulous," he...
