WAY-STONES, MILESTONES: WAY-STONE #writephoto – Marilyn Armstrong

Thursday photo prompt: Way-stone #writephoto When we first moved to Uxbridge, the woman who sold us our house drove us around and the first thing she brought us to see was the Uxbridge Way-Stone. Erected and etched in the early 1600s, it was part of the marking made along Native trails, many of which later became … Continue reading WAY-STONES, MILESTONES: WAY-STONE #writephoto – Marilyn Armstrong

A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR – Marilyn Armstrong

RDP #29: A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR Fandango - Nightmare It's the one month anniversary of having WordPress abandon us for whatever future they think they see on their far horizons. I'm sure, whatever their milestone may be, it involves hitting all of us for more money. Because as far as I can tell, it's always about … Continue reading A MILESTONE OF DESPAIR – Marilyn Armstrong

SIX YEARS AND A MILLION MILES TO GO

According to WordPress, I started this blog on February 4, 2012. That's not entirely accurate. I picked the name and signed up with WordPress on that date, but all I did was write a couple of paragraphs that basically said "I have no idea what I'm doing or why I'm doing it." It took until … Continue reading SIX YEARS AND A MILLION MILES TO GO

HALF A MILLION – A LOT OF VIEWS

We have a small pond in our woods. It's way far back and though I can see it from two windows in the house, I have never been there. There's no path. Getting there would mean climbing boulders and crossing rough terrain. At least half the year, I can't even see it. In the summer, the … Continue reading HALF A MILLION – A LOT OF VIEWS

FIVE YEARS OF SERENDIPITY

Today is Serendipity's fifth birthday. Very few blogs survive this long. I'm amazed to find myself in such rarefied company! Since February 2012 when I decided to give this blogging thing a shot, to an eclectic site featuring five intelligent, creative, smart -- and often funny -- writers creating relevant, unique content, it's been quite a trip. … Continue reading FIVE YEARS OF SERENDIPITY

ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY – WITH CHRYSANTHEMUMS

I forget birthdays and other occasions. Not just other people's birthdays. I have been known to miss my own and only realize a few days later that it had passed. Oops. Usually, I remember our anniversary. Last year was our 25th and it being one of those milestone years, we were both aware of it. Unlike … Continue reading ANOTHER ANNIVERSARY – WITH CHRYSANTHEMUMS

THE ANNIVERSARY I ALMOST FORGOT

How quickly we forget. Today is the 29th anniversary of the day I returned from Israel to the United States. I knew this day had a particular meaning ... I just couldn't remember exactly what.

ENDURANCE: STILL BLOGGING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

If you blog long enough, the numbers add up. I'm surprised so many people take the time to visit Serendipity. I'm equally surprised I'm still posting pretty much every day. Especially because after four years, I haven't yet figured out what this blog is about. I have a lot of problems figuring out what things are about. It's one … Continue reading ENDURANCE: STILL BLOGGING AFTER ALL THESE YEARS

EVIL SQUIRREL’S NEST COMIC # 200 – CONGRATULATIONS!!

This would be an official "reblog" except my re-blogging function refuses to work. I have no idea why. This would deserve a reblog even if it weren't the memorial 200th Evil Squirrel's Nest Comic. Because, as one commenter pointed out, violence is the ultimate Americana -- and in this election year, we need a superior quality of … Continue reading EVIL SQUIRREL’S NEST COMIC # 200 – CONGRATULATIONS!!

4014 POSTS … WITH PICTURES

I just noticed I've published 4014 posts. Here, on Serendipity. I must have passed 4,000 posts last week. I didn't notice. I was busy. Time slips by. Years slip by, but the last couple of months have been dizzying. I will continue to be way too busy during the few couple months. I have been posting less ... and … Continue reading 4014 POSTS … WITH PICTURES
