Didn’t Finish It Friday

Posted on Apr 9, 2022Apr 10, 2022 by Bernie

It’s another one of “those stories”. The kind that makes other people shake their head at me while I’m busy being annoyed at myself.

Grampa Dan and Nicky

Posted on Jan 30, 2022Jan 30, 2022 by Bernie

This isn’t your average #whatsonyourbookshelfchallenge kind of post. But it seems very fitting and a lot of fun. And seems fun is important I decided it was worthy of a post.

Beneath the seams

Posted on Dec 24, 2021Dec 24, 2021 by Bernie

She walked into the store confidently. She knew exactly what she wanted and how to turn that into the vision in her head. She, of absolute faith.

“Mischief Managed” as the twins said

Posted on Nov 9, 2021Nov 9, 2021 by Bernie

2 the Moon

Posted on Feb 28, 2021Feb 28, 2021 by Bernie

Whimsical Win

Posted on Feb 9, 2021 by Bernie

The phone rang shortly before lunch, an odd enough occurence for sure. The caller though someone I often speak with. She calls me her second mom as I helped guide her through some formative times. Now a dozen years later we still keep in touch regularly. The call promoted a string of events.

Loafing Around

Posted on Dec 20, 2020 by Bernie

I wasn’t entirely sure where (more correctly who) I was slanting this advent activity towards when I started baking. I saw a reciepe, had the ingredients and went for it.

Easy peasy

Posted on Dec 16, 2020 by Bernie

I actually had to look up my title idea as it seemed so easy that I had probably used it before. Turns out I haven’t and it definitely fits today’s advent activity.

And the winner is..

Posted on Dec 13, 2020 by Bernie

The winner is me and I will tell you why. I am not sure that I have ever written this part of the story before but I think it bears witness to where I am today in my advent activity.
