Three More Days and Counting…
Today, I'm making vegetable soup and cookies. And tonight, we're going to do our annual drive-around-and look-at-lights with the grands. At least, that's the plan. Also, I need to do some clean-up, straightening and organizing. And probably 30 other things that just aren't on the list yet. So it will help if I get started … Continue reading Three More Days and Counting…
Winter Solstice 2019
Winter Solstice, when the day is shortest, the night is long and often cold. I found this lovely article 13 Fascinating Winter Solstice Traditions Around the World. It's pretty interesting.

That's days til Christmas you know, and the preparations have pretty much taken over my life. All my intentions to write {14} of Lucas and Sofia? Not likely to happen. Not today anyhow.

He helped her stand. He moved the kneeling bench to one side, positioning her in front of him, still within reach. It was warm in the room, in fact, Sofia realized, she was uncomfortably hot. Master Lucas leaned forward. "Turn," he said. "Slowly. Stop when I say." Slowly, Sofia began to turn, a sudden memory … Continue reading Connections – Part 2 {13}

Holiday Celebrations 2019
I have had kind of a killer day. Dentist in the early morning, clients pretty much all day the rest of the day. One very bright spot was reading the comments on Lucas and Sofia, so I really appreciate that. There were other bright spots, but at the end of the day, I'm just tired. … Continue reading Holiday Celebrations 2019
Connections – Part II {12}
Lucas let Sofia grab her folder, and then led her out into the hallway. Still holding her hand, he stopped, turned toward her. With his other hand, he touched her cheek, turned her face up toward him. "Are you hungry?" he asked. She laughed - she had not been expecting that question. "Not for food," … Continue reading Connections – Part II {12}
Connections – Part II {11}
Lucas saw that Sofia was comfortably seated in the first workshop, Negotiating Hard Limits, and headed on to his meeting. The presenters were a young couple who seemed to have more enthusiasm than experience. Since Lucas had asked Sofia for feedback on their presentation, she kept copious notes on the material they used and the … Continue reading Connections – Part II {11}
Nope
And today, I was still pretty much super busy. Sorry. I added three paragraphs to the next installment of Connections. And I don't really have anything worthwhile to say. I have rebounded from my depths of despair, closed down the pity party and am excited that the weekend starts tomorrow. It's getting close to Christmas, … Continue reading Nope
