Wednesday Words: Failure is Not an Option

Posted on June 14, 2023 by Silver James

It’s Wednesday once again. Last week’s Thursday Threads prompt was a tough one–especially since I did two different snippets. The original came from CROSSFIRE but held spoilers so I didn’t want to share it. Instead, I stumbled across a 25 … Continue reading →

Monday Mishmash

Posted on June 12, 2023 by Silver James

Welpers, Summer is here. Luckily, Spring remains slightly tenacious so we occasionally get reprieves. We finally hit the 90s over the weekend, which is at least a week later than normal so that’s a yay. Still, Summer brought her boyfriend … Continue reading →

Wednesday Words: Take it Outside

Posted on June 7, 2023 by Silver James

Guess what?!? I managed to snag an honorable mention in last week’s #ThursdayThreads. Too bad they weren’t 250 words that applied to anything I’m like…you know…actually working on. Still, this character–whoever she is–will stick around and show up again in … Continue reading →

I don’t remember where or when I first found this recipe but I copied it down and tucked it into my recipe box. I recently rediscovered it when I had to comb through my box looking for a different recipe … Continue reading →

Posted on June 2, 2023 by Silver James

Yes. I laughed. Yes, it’s all pretty much true. Did I mention that I laughed? And I promise, these ARE things you’d NEVER hear a true southerner say. Just sayin’… *guggkesnorfflekoffGoBuckeyesKoffkoffgigglesnort* Have a great weekend! I’ll be watching softball, going … Continue reading →

Posted on June 1, 2023 by Silver James
