April Putty-Tat Update
It has been a while since I updated on the fur balls. I was away from them for a couple of weeks and have to say I missed them despite their crazy moments. They are doing well, though I do have some concerns about the amount that Pippi sleeps and her wails, but overall they…

For Whom the Pen Flows
I was journaling this morning and in finding myself coming towards the end of a page I began to tidy up my thoughts to end my writing by the bottom. It came to my attention that this was not necessary. For what reason do I attach the bottom of a page with the end of…

_Station Eleven_ by Emily St. John Mandel
__Station Eleven_ by Emily St. John Mandel This book hit the popularity scale a couple of years ago, but I have been a bit slow with reading what is popular. Mostly I have been reading from the AWN Book Club list, but as I was away on holiday, I thought that I would expand. 😛…
