Sometimes you just need to do what you want–within reason, that is. Everyone is tempted by different things. I have a weakness for cheese tortilla chips. I like them so much that I’ll only eat them a few times a year. If I buy a large bag, I’ll eat them until I’m physically sick. Sad,…

Suit Their Tastes #MFRWAuthor
Goody bag style gifts are my favorite to give. If I’m giving to several people, I like to pick useful items that are easy to find, but I personalize them by making sure each recipient will enjoy what’s in the bag. For example, a couple of years ago I made goody bags with food items….
Enjoyed or Expected? #MFRWAuthor
Other than Halloween, I’ve never been much for holidays. My idea of celebrating is to have a day away from my regular schedule to relax. When I was growing up, my family always got together for holidays. Probably like most families, it was something that was expected, but I’m not sure if everyone enjoyed it….
It Depends – #MFRWAuthor

The things I would never want to repeat are unfortunately guaranteed to happen again–illness and death of loved ones. This week’s blog challenge topic can definitely be harsh if taken from a…
If Only I Had the Skills #MFRWauthor
What hasn’t been invented that should have? That’s the top of this week’s MFRW 52-Week Blog Challenge. Truly, if I could think of something useful that hasn’t been invented yet, I’d have done it already and probably be rich by now. It’s a great topic, but I don’t have the skills to be an inventor,…
Morlocks? No Thank You. #MFRWauthor
In reality, I wouldn’t want to time travel. The past is too depressing and the future is too precarious. Since the idea of time travel is, at least now, a fantasy, if I had to choose, I would go far into the future. I’ve always loved the Time Machine (1960) and the world of…
