Some of us are getting a little impatient, if not exactly desperate, for Spring to finally arrive. One sure sign for me that we’re getting there is when the lambs start showing up! I love lambikins*. Yesterday, Fergus and I stopped the buckboard by one of the old lambing barns that we pass on our…
Author: C C Cedras
One of two authors who are collaborating on a series of romantic suspense novels. Mostly retired lawyer, Mom of Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Fiona and Archie, and the late, great Fergus who is romping over the rainbow until we all get there, currently loving life in my newly-built forever home on the mountain.
It was the best of times
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it…
#amproofreading
I’m here to report to those of you who have been following our saga that we hit a major milestone this week. We sent the manuscript of Eden’s Fall to our Honest To God Editor. So as not to waste our editor’s time with proofreading an almost 100,000 word manuscript, I volunteered to proofread it…
Ow! Ow! Ow!
Me, each day as I work through the exercises to rehab my left shoulder. I am one solid month out from surgery and have been in physical therapy for two weeks already. Just another couple of months to go. At various times in my life I’ve rehabbed just about everything on this poor broken body…
It Ain’t For Sissies
Me, when I found in my mail this past week…my Medicare card. It doesn’t kick in until June, but talk about adding insult to injury. There I am gathering up accumulated mail with one hand because the other’s still in a sling* and there is the fat envelope with the “Welcome to Medicare” pamphlet and…
*pops popcorn*
Usually something happens during the week that prompts an idea for the blog, but that requires a person to experience life. You can’t just hole up in your cave and expect people to be interested in your periodic descriptions of dust bunnies forming under the furniture. I mentioned last week that I was going to…
Gettin’ My Wing Clipped
While I still have two hands to type, I’ll do a little blogging. A very little because I have to load my parched and starving self into the car in a bit and go have my left shoulder repaired. I’ve had a shoulder repaired before so I know a little about what it’s going to…
My Kind of Town
My kind of people, too! Every once in a while, I’m reminded of what a truly wonderful place this is that I get to live in. I’ve mentioned before that it’s a university town, and that the university’s motto is Ut Prosim – “That I May Serve”. It’s no joke. The spirit of service…
What’s Past Is Prologue
In the context of The Tempest, Shakespeare meant that everything that came before doesn’t matter because a new, different and wonderful future awaits. That’s not what modern, current usage makes of those words, however. When we hear that phrase, we generally take it to mean just the opposite – that the past matters a great…
Raisin’ Cane: A Different World
I am not talking about the world we currently live in, although it’s different all right. The other night I went to the incredible center for the arts in my town to see “Raisin’ Cane: A Harlem Renaissance Odyssey” starring Jasmine Guy, who performs with The Avery Sharpe Trio. Jasmine Guy is the real…
