Out of the Doldrums and Looking for Spring
This time of year always seems to me to be a long slog into spring. The snow and ice are gone to be replaced by rain and wind. Valentine’s Day, the last “candy holiday” as one of my grandkids calls it, is over with no more candy extravaganzas until Easter which seems far away. What’s a […]
It’s Here!
Tomorrow is Valentine’s Day, in case you missed the heart shaped balloons, boxes of candy in red hearts and/or paper wrappings, kits of kids cards to make and take to school and a sudden surge in the price of roses. In addition, we can celebrate having moved from the heart at the beginning of the […]
The Countdown Continues
No, not for the Olympics, although there are plenty of people doing that, especially on NBC. I’m talking about Valentine’s Day! It’s almost here. Ready for a few more suggestions on how to be a romantic partner on February 14th (not to mention all through the year)? Last week I talked about how romantic practical […]
Make Way For Romance
We’re about two weeks out from Valentine’s Day, a day many people (particularly greeting card companies and florists) would say is the day for romance. Now, as much as I love to see the hearts and flowers everywhere for February 14th, I can’t agree that there only one day for romance. I think every day […]
Need I Say More?
I could end this post with that quote above. But I won’t. No self-respecting writer will turn down the chance to write more words. So, here we go. It’s the ramp up to Valentine’s Day and I’m beginning with the most obvious food choice for the most romantic of holidays–chocolate. We all know, don’t […]
Setting the Scene Part II
Last Wednesday I suggested that a romantic meal needs the right person, a nice table setting, some candles and Sangria. This week, I’d like to add another element–a soundtrack. Music has always been important to me. I listen to music when I write, when I clean, when I’m working on art glass. Different music for […]
A New Year
Holidays over; new year begun; time for resolutions and reflection. Here are some of mine: 1. I’ll be blogging here once a week, on Wednesdays, from now on so I can have the time to blog on my own website once a week. 2. The focus won’t change–I still want to blog about the connection […]
A Foggy Day in the ‘Couve
It’s one of those days where being snug inside with someone special is the only way to go. Okay, snug inside after you’ve braved the hordes at the mall and finished your Christmas shopping. Whichever. So, what’s a romance addict to do? Make soup, of course. Potato soup. Here’s how: For 2 servings of soup: […]
Light and Love
I’ve written quite a bit about the bread and wine part of the trio I mention in the blog name. Now it’s time to give the third part some mention. Candles. The light from a candle is something special. It must be, otherwise why would we use candles in worship, in ceremonies, to mark special […]
It’s Over and I’m Back
With the end of November the torture known as National Novel Writing Month has ended. I hit the goal of 50,000 words on a new novel and can now get back to what passes for normal. And I seem to recall a promise to post a recipe for cheese fondue. With the weather cold, windy […]
