September 2nd, 2013 Today is the fourth anniversary of my retirement. Since Labor Day 2009 my husband has always stayed to celebrate NEVER having to leave the Cape again and go back to NY for another school year.

August 30th, 2013 It’s Fun Friday, the day of the blog hop I introduced you to last week. This week’s letter is “F” and as you can see, for me, “F” stands for only one thing – FUN!

August 28th, 2013 When I retired four years ago I had a plan. I knew I didn’t want to work my first year. I wanted to do over each room of my house and begin writing.

August 13th, 2013 Currently I’m reading Return To Sullivan’s Island (Lowcountry Tales) by Dorothea Benton Frank. Her writing is not as deep and heart touching as Kristin Hannah, but the books flow with a great storyline. Last night I came across two thoughts that, today, on the morning of my sixtieth birthday, intersected. One was that two days . . . → Read More: ‘Rounding The Bend
August 9th, 2013 It’s the last day of the Cape Cod Writers Center Annual Conference. Though the amount of learning I acquired this week was insurmountable, it was today that made the most impact.

August 5th, 2013 Ah…here we are again. The first week of August at the annual Cape Cod Writers Center Conference. I always call this week summer camp for adults. It’s a week to mingle and chat and learn and, this year, work in the bookstore. I love working in the bookstore. I get to reconnect with people I . . . → Read More: Summer Camp – Day 1
July 31st, 2013 When I first accepted my illustrating project the excitement wore off as soon as I started to begin the actual work and fear set in. Fear that I couldn’t do it fast enough.
