Silly Rhymes and Romantic Lines
Do you remember these kind of sayings? “Yours til’ Ivory soup sinks.” Do you remember Ivory soap? It’s still on the store shelves and it still floats.

A Day for Romance
Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination. (Voltaire) Happy Valentine’s Day! What makes Valentine’s Day good for you? Candy? Roses? A card with loving words?

Discombobalated
Okay, so it’s not Wednesday. It’s not even Thursday, the day I usually remember I forgot to post on One Writer’s Journal on Wednesday. But I’ve got excuses.

Been through some exciting times with the Cats and some disappointing times. Right now, things are going well in the Big Blue Nation. We’ve got a good team …
My Dog Dub
If you don’t own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life. ~Roger Caras I lost my dog, Dub, last year before Christmas. He was a very good dog. A chocolate lab registered by his first owners as Coffee W. Crutcher. Those owners got more dog …
