EllynB Thanks for your honest comment tammyr It is good to know there are more people struggling with the same issues. I am trying to understand, but it is so hard for me too. I am not going to stop loving him, and I just have to stop being upset about being angry at...

I enjoyed a serene bike ride down a wooded path yesterday on my 10 mile jaunt. While riding through the dense forest, near a gently flowing river I found myself envious of those who travelled this way before. It occurred to me, I...

EllynB @JudyEv I remembered the name of the roses I tried to grow. They are miniature roses, often found around Valentines Day as an alternative to giving cut bouquets. I think they are beautiful.

EllynB Authors beware. It is a risk we take as writers. This is why I put the question out there for all of you. Thanks for your honest input. It is true, if you do not share the book, the author will not get read. It. Is our goal to get our books into as many...

EllynB @trivia79 it is a fitness band worn on your arm. It tracks your steps and tells you when you need to get up and move. Each day the device I have, gives suggested steps needed per day and it continues to increase daily. I am sure it will stop increasing after a...

EllynB Congratulations! Your wedding will be a beautiful event. I know the weeks leading up to your event is very stressful. Maybe you can ask a family member to call the late RSVPs to get an answer. They don't have to talk to you, maybe not wanting to say they...

Once, the radio was a big invention. Listening to the radio was the way people had to acceed to news or to know how a football match was going on. But now, with all the technologies, do you still listen to the radio?

EllynB @JudyEv the children's plants are outside. I was referring to the potted tea roses for inside. I haven't had any luck with these. They are easy to overwater and winter in the North is too cold, even in the house. I have a black light for my summer seeds, so I...

EllynB It is far more complicated than I thought. I do like the smell of a good cigar, but I still cannot sit around in a room of smokers. I can't imagine what they go through to quit, I only know the addiction is real. I applaud those who quit for good, and I pray...
