Thought I’d share this really sweet story from Aish for today. Paid In Full There is a fellow who owns a jewelry store in Israel. One day a nine year old girl walked into the store and said, “I am here to buy a bracelet.” She looked through the glass cases and pointed… Read More Yom Kippur
Hey guys! Just some pictures and a song for today. I got some pictures in the rain that I liked a lot, but didn’t put them in a post yet. But, anyway. Here they are! My window. I kind of like the effect of the “You are my sunshine” thing. 😛 Different focuses… Read More Rain Stuff
Hey, guys! Last night, SprinkleSquink and I did a little writing exercise/picture prompt thing. It was really fun and we liked how they turned out, so we thought we’d share! Here was the picture prompt: And here is my writing bit (we had a 250 word limit): Wormhole My wormhole experiment took a little bit… Read More The Wormhole & Extraterrestrial Hairball
I have three tags to do, and I’m going to do them all right here to save time and posts. I did not know this many blog awards existed. At least we have a theme, and it seems to be the number 10. Anyway. #GSlist Not exactly sure what that stands for, but it looks fun.… Read More 3 Tags & The Number 10
Prompt: What are examples of books you’ve thrown across the room? Why did you throw them? Ah. A chance to rant. *rubs hands* Let’s go. Dead End This ending. Why. So, the whole rest of the series is completely awesome. I loved all the other Red Rock Mysteries, but this book epically failed… Read More Books I Have Chucked & Why

So, we do all sorts of fun things on Rosh Hashana with lots of symbolism so the little guys in our family can get it too.… Read More Rosh Hashana
If you didn’t know I was talking about ships, that title probably seems a little strange. But I am talking about ships. So, no need to worry, there. 😉 This last weekend our family went up to see the 18th century reproduction ship, The Lady Washington, in port. I was not forgetting my camera for… Read More The Hawaiian Chieftan & Lady Washington
Hey, everyone! Happy Labor Day! 🙂 Back with another story, today. The 4th part of my Horatio Hornblower fanfiction. All finished this morning in one sitting (whoo!). So, a lot has happened and I’m not going to catch everyone up on all of it right here. But this is Horatio spending his leave at Archie’s… Read More Following Orders, Part 4: Whist
So, I said that that short story I wrote a while back, Mutiny, might turn out to be a book? Well, it would be a very limited book, seeing as I started it out as a 1st person, present-tense thing. Rewriting it in 3rd person, however, would make it a lot more workable. So I… Read More Mutiny: Rewrite
I just finished reading another Josephine Tey book, The Singing Sands. Very good book. Once again, highly recommend it. And everything I said about Inspector Grant and the writing style still applies. Though the ending was MUCH better. Brilliant. 🙂 So, this is a blurb from the book in a part near the end. Grant… Read More Vanity
