By Lucy The first thing I did on Sunday was make yogurt. So, I’ve been really looking forward to buying Slate River Dairy for 2 reasons. The first is that they sell their products in old timey glass bottles, which is important to me and my quest to avoid single use plastics. I love yogurt,…

By Lucy Paul is the first to notice that I’ve completely shattered. “Hello, Earth to Lucy. You’re quiet.” Of course Paul would notice. He’s the person I talk to the most, currently, partially because he’s also my editor. To an occasionally annoying degree; sometimes I’ll log on to my novel and write a couple paragraphs,…

By Lucy This week was not good. I knew I was dancing on the razor’s edge, but that happens a lot. I was counting on the benefits refund for my spa visit coming in on Monday, but it was declined (I hit the wrong button or something, because I applied again and this time it…

By Lucy I lost interest in my gentleman caller already. I hadn’t really decided what my interest was in him… there was some chemistry there, but I’m sure I don’t want to engage in another relationship. And there was something about him that set off red flags in my mind. I’m sure I recall someone…

By Lucy They cancelled Colbert. I almost started crying when I heard. It was like hearing someone had died. I screamed, confusing everyone in the lunch room, then I went outside and screamed some more. All the guys were having a smoke around the corner. “What are you losing your mind about?” Terry asks. “What…

By Lucy Mini update! I don’t scream this enough but I am actually Acadian. In 1605, a group of French Settlers settled in what is now the Annapolis River valley basin and created a fort called Port Royal. Those first few years were brutal as they came to grips with the harsh Canadian winters, and…
