This is what happens when you search for "warn" on Pixabay... Awake way too early this morning, especially for a Sunday. But that's ok. I'll lie back down in a bit maybe. I've been getting images for this blog and other blogs from Pixabay lately, and really love it. Today, I just entered "Awake" in … Continue reading Warning – Religion Ahead

{This is the end of this story - or the end of this section anyhow. If you want to read from the beginning it starts here.} Lucas finished packing his rope, zipped his bag, and came back off the platform. Sofia watched him walk toward her, still feeling a bit spacey.

"Wait, what?" said Sofia. "Be the rope demo? I don't know about that - hang on." "Oh, don't worry about it," said Mandy, "Let's go sit down before we miss the whole thing." There were several seats in the front row filled with bags and blankets and Mandy cleared a couple of them so she … Continue reading Connections {10}

Applause from the audience broke out, Mistress Molly was taking a bow, the young man who'd been caned was fixing his clothes and bowing, and the break began. "Come on," said Mandy, "let's get some water and we can watch Master Lucas do his rope magic. Well, if you want to, I don't want to … Continue reading Connections {9}
Home Again, Home Again
Yesterday was another lovely day, a big part of the day spent exploring the island I was on with my daughter and the grands. That's just a treat all by itself.
