Okay, that’s enough winter now.  It’s 20 degrees and somewhere tonight in Rhode Island it will be 0. In other words, last weekend’s snow isn’t going anywhere. I’m staying home and rewriting 200 pages of my book this week, so … Continue reading →

candle wars

Posted on December 26, 2012 by is there any more pie?

Banjo Man loves this candlelabra.  I love it, too, but Banjo Man really loves it.  It requires candles with special fluted bottoms, because regular candles fall over, even with candle sticky-stuff or freshly-dripped wax in the holder. Sometimes it’s hard to find … Continue reading →
