2011 New Hampshire Highland Games, part one, The Games
New Hampshire Highland Games and Loon Mountain. This year I finally had an opportunity to attend the games and it was quite a pleasant experience for a great number of reasons.
Initially, my interest was in being at “Loon” for the sake of seeing something new. There are exactly three Celtic festivals in my area annually and none of them is held on a mountain. Plus, I’ve never been farther north than Rhode Island and that was…

June 15, 2011 Creative Writing Challenge - My Dad...
I tend to write a LOT about my dad. It isn't that I loved my mother less, but more that I loved my dad in a whole and complete way that my mom wouldn't have cared for. She was a bit more aloof and saved her love for special moments. Daddy just loved. Straight up, in your face, like it or not. Love. And he was…

June 2 Creative Writing Challenge - The Weirdest Wedding I Ever Attended...
Maybe it was only weird because I didn't know anyone except my husband and the groom. Or maybe it was only weird because it was the only Native American ceremony I'd ever been to. Or maybe it was only weird because we'd driven around lost for 45 minutes knowing that the wedding wasn't going to start till we got there and that when we finally did get there we would be the reason for the delay. Or maybe it wasn't weird at…

Creative Writing Challenge #26 - My Mother
My mother is an iron will and a strong determination. She is a cloud of White Shoulders perfume once tinted with Aqua Net. She is Ranger's baseball and every tear-jerker ever broadcast on the Hallmark channel. She is a huge pot of red beans and a plate of sweet cornbread with little green onions on the…

April 28, 2011 Creative Writing Challenge #25: You are going to the Royal Wedding. Tell us with whom, why you're there, and what you find out!
I am going to the Royal Wedding with Fergie of course!!! No, no, no, not the singing one, the one who threw her head back and brayed like an ass in the Royal Carriage after her own Royal Wedding!! She has always been my favorite and the only one of the lot, with the possible exception of Harry, who doesn't…

Creative Writing Challenge #24 - Write a short description of Heaven.
These days, I am not convinced that angels sit on clouds and play music all day. And I don't especially care for harp music, so that's fine with me. I prefer to… Continue

Creative Writing Challenge #23 - The Fault Line
There are those who say the fault belongs to mining. Take out so much of the earth's core and it will surely collapse.
There are those who say the fault belongs to Christians who asked God to "open the eyes of the Atheists."
There are those who say the fault belongs to HAARP... I had to look that one up because I couldn't figure out how old retired people could bring about an earthquake!!
There are those who say the fault belongs Jessica Simpson. I didn't research…

Creative Writing Challenge #18-"The person who has made the biggest difference in how I view the holidays has been..."
Our dad was a big fan of Christmas, which didn't make much sense to me when I considered his poverty level childhood. But now, in hindsight, I can see what the holiday really meant for him. And I have my sister to thank for that.
Daddy's mother, my grandmother Maggie, spent all year making quilts and toys out of her fabric scraps and those pink or blue dry cleaning… Continue

Creative Writing Challenge #16-Write a love letter between two people who have only met once
Sweet Libby,
Driving away from you was like ripping out my heart. I tried not to look back but my eyes wouldn't stay on the road and the sight of you standing in the doorway, so alone, was like a knife in the gut. I wish I had been stronger and left when you were still sleeping so I didn't have to see your tears and know I'd hurt you so much. I never wanted to hurt you.… Continue

Creative Writing Challenge #14-A Ghost Story
Her side:
“A ghost?”
Spoken more as a statement than a question with that look he reserves for my more “whackadoodle” comments and ideas.
“Yes. A ghost. I don’t know any other way to describe it. I was out in the garden…”
I might as well have been talking to a…
