I’m pleased to host Poetry Friday this week! If you want to know more about what Poetry Friday is, check this post by author Renee M. Tulipee. When I realized I’d be the host on the Friday before Halloween, I immediately turned to my Jack Prelutsky poetry book entitled, It’s Halloween (1977). This book is…
Hello from Germany! It’s Poetry Friday! We are almost to the end of our 15-day Viking Longship Cruise through Europe on the Danube, Main, and Rhine Rivers. We’ve had stops in Budapest, Hungary, Vienna & Melk, Austria, Passau, Regensburg, Nuremberg, Bamberg, Wurzberg, and Weirtheim, Germany (today). We’ve had tours in all of these towns except…

This will be short! Some of you might feel relieved! I tend to write longer posts but my writing plate is very full at the moment and I’m questioning whether I can keep up with it all. I just posted my blog to Medium.com for the day. I’ve been writing daily on that platform, instead…
Most of my blog posts this month have been on Medium.com under my name. I had another good month on the platform with over 4300 hundred views and 2.1K reads with still a few days left in the month. This is well over the readership I accrue on WordPress. There were two separate periods when…
My blog was posted on Medium.com today, as it has been for the last few days. I wrote about observations I had during our two-week driving trip from Wisconsin to Maine and back again. When you read my post, I want you to honestly consider if you are one of the drivers that have the…
