Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas. This past year has been filled with challenges, but there is much to be thankful for, and spending time with family is one of the greatest blessings of this season.  Hope Santa was good to all!  

It's official.  My baby -- my youngest son, who turns 25 today  (Happy Birthday!!!) -- is now officially living in Waco, Texas.  His company (Caterpillar)  moved him there with a quick 1 month notice, cutting short his job rotation in Peoria. He didn't even have time to come home for a visit before moving. :(  No more weekend drives home for him ( Read more... )

... a day late.  Was traveling yesterday, home to Michigan for a week long visit with my side of the family.  Hope all you moms out there had a wonderful day!

Happy Easter!

For all my fellow Game of Thrones fans...

My email inbox contained this tantalizing TOR tidbit:  another of my long held book loves about to be fulfilled on the big screen -- Enders Game!  Won't be out until November 2013, but hey... at least there's SOMETHING that will be good about next year.

A sad and fond farewell to one of my favorite writers, Ray Bradbury.  I've loved his stuff forever, and will miss him greatly!
