And now it’s almost Christmas. Time has been flying these past few weeks. I’m sorry for not reacting to your comments, or commenting on your blogs. I do read (and appreciate!) your comments here and I occasionally visit your blogs, but I have a hard time with sitting down, taking time and find the mental…

On Solstice Day
“May you find peace in the promise of the solstice night, that each day forward is blessed with more light. That the cycle of nature, unbroken and true, brings faith to your soul and wellbeing to you. Rejoice in the darkness, in the silence find rest, and may the days that follow be abundantly blessed.”…
Right now
Right now I am… :: listening to the “top 4000” on our favorite radio station. This is a yearly compromise in our house. I’d love to be full on Christmas music right now, but I don’t think T. would be able to tolerate that. Also, I love hearing all those great songs (most people voting…
He’s here!
We interrupt our regular scheduled programming to announce that yesterday morning our grandson was born. Mother, father and baby are doing great. Grandfather is extremely proud of all of them and Grandma can’t stop taking pictures (but only because holding him was not an option yet).
Palate cleansing
Is that the right expression? I think it is… I was working on this knitting project a bit yesterday when I realized that I’ve had this on the needles since late August. I think I cast on for it right after we got home from our summer in The Netherlands. Since then, I finished a…
Cycles
I am reading a book. Well, I am reading many books. Most of them just simple novels that I fly through in a few days (I love “paranormal cozy detectives” and luckily my ereader subsciption has a big supply of those). But this book, I’m just reading slowly, one chapter at a time. I’m not…
Kitchen doings
I’m still not sure about these posts, but I like them too much to stop doing them (and also, if I would stop posting everything I’m unsure about, this blog would be dormant again). So let’s just go ahead. I do want to write a little disclaimer in advance though: this is just an impression…
And one more makes six
And here’s the last one (for those of you who didn’t read the other posts: I decided rather last minute that it would be nice to give our three girls, the two son-in-laws and our soon to be born grandson hats for Christmas). I made it semi-matching with the father-son hats, since this is for…
Rosemary
One of my favorite herbs is rosemary. I love the smell and… well, everything else about it. I sometimes drink rosemary tea when I have a headache and that works wonderful for me. It doesn’t really work as a painkiller, but it helps to think more clearly. I also use the essential oil for that…
The sky
There are so many thoughts in my head, but I just can’t find the words. Some people have such a beautiful way with words, but I have always, even in my published novels, been writing in a way that is very down-to-earth, and easy to read and understand. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with…
