The joys of getting older

The joys of getting older

Image by Vilius Kukanauskas from Pixabay As my 68th birthday looms on the horizon like a cake topped with far too many candles (seriously, do fire extinguishers come as standard with those things now?), I’ve found myself reflecting on the curious passage of time. At least, I assume that’s what we’re supposed to do as a milestone birthday approaches, right? Reflect? Contemplate? Ponder the mysteries of life? I’ll get right on that… after I’ve spent an hour or two feeling sorry for myself,…

Funny Friday – humorous videos

Funny Friday – humorous videos

Image by Raphael Silva from Pixabay   I don’t spend much time on YouTube, but short amusing videos can be found on the site. Here are a few that you might enjoy. None are side-splitting, but they are amusing.   And to wrap this up, a classic from Ronald Reagan: I hope you enjoyed seeing these. Have a good Friday!

Funny Friday-Life with a dog.

Image by M J from Pixabay The picture above is a reasonable likeness of Daisy, my family’s newest addition. As you probably know by now, I treasure my canine companions. My border collie, Haley, is a two year old delight, while our German Shepherd pup is, to be charitable, very amusing. That’s not to say she is dumb. Not at all; in fact, the animal is a genius at finding new and original ways of breaking the rules. To tell the truth, I…

And now for something different

And now for something different

*The Babylon Bee logo is copied from and owned by the Babylon Bee I love the Babylon Bee. For those unfamiliar with this company, Wikipedia describes them as “a conservative Christian news satire website that publishes satirical articles on topics including religion, politics, current events, and public figures,” which is a fairly accurate description. Others accuse them of being far-right, conspiracy theorists, bigots, white supremacists, etc. which, in my humble opinion, is a great, steaming, pile of crap. Babylon Bee…

Funny Friday – Dad Jokes to Amuse You (or make you groan?)

With everything happening in the world right now, I decided we all need something to brighten our day. To that end, I went online in search of innocuous jokes (or Dad jokes, if you will). I was looking for humor innocent enough that nobody would take offense to, but corny enough to tickle your funny bone. My journeys took me to The Country Living site and a page titled “80 Hilariously Funny Jokes to Make Your Friends and Family Laugh”….

🎄It’s Christmas!!! 🎄

🎄It’s Christmas!!! 🎄

The last few days of November are upon us and, with Thanksgiving complete, Christmas preparations are taking over. That’s not to say the shops waited until this week to put up their trees and garland. Heaven forbid! Where I live in Canada, the home improvement stores decorated the trees and started playing carols in late September. My thoughts on this are best summed up in the immortal words of Ebenezer Scrooge: Bah, humbug! Don’t misunderstand, I love Christmas and all…

Let’s get to work

Let’s get to work

I’m an author. No, seriously, that’s what I do with myself since I retired. I write variations based on Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”. But what does it mean when I make that claim? Do I have any published works, or is this something I do in my spare time to stay active and possibly amuse myself? And what is involved in the art of creating and selling a story? Yes, I am a published writer, with nine books available…

Are dogs trustworthy?

Are dogs trustworthy?

Today is Funny Friday, and the purpose of my post is to give you something you will hopefully be able to laugh at. I thought, with that in mind, that I would give you an excerpt from Miss Elizabeth’s Unforgettable Assembly, the first novella in my Elizabeth Said, Darcy Said series. I began writing in May of 2022 and published this story in June. The excerpt, indeed the entire story, begins at the assembly in Meryton, where Darcy resists Bingley’s…
