Friday Fragments are bits and pieces of your week that are usually brief; too short for a stand-alone post, but too good to discard. Collect humorous observations, “Heard” items, other small gems and put them together in a Friday Fragments post. Then leave a link to your Friday Fragments post and link back to our host Mrs. 4444 at Half-Past Kissin’ Time.
It’s not too late to join in on the fun and we would love to have you!
I have been the lamest blogger lately. Hopefully that will end very soon. I have less than 20 pages left to edit on The Stranger in My Recliner. I see the light at the end of the tunnel and can feel the relief. I am looking forward to finally updating my website and adding some new features to my blog.
Thank goodness the annoying elections are over. In our house we are half satisfied and half terrified. I suppose we will have a week of peace before they start with the commercials for the next election. How did your state do? Are you happy or disgusted?
It is time to start thinking about a foreword writer and some people to write blurbs for The Stranger in My Recliner [an intimate look at the homeless and mental health epidemic in America.] Who do you think would be someone good to ask, famous psychiatrists, psychologists, politicians, actors or actresses that work for one or both of these causes? Do you have any suggestions? A field I haven’t thought of that might apply? My wish list: Dr. V, Glenn Close and John Huntsman.
My appearance on The Wis Lit Show…

This show is done in a high school. The kids were amazing, very professional!
Last weekend while I was sleeping, somebody side swiped my car and just took off without a care. The damage was, of course just short of the deductible. This is the 3rd time this year. WTHeck?
Lesson learned at our house this week: Don’t hire a plumber to paint your house because the results will be sh*#ty.
We had a great time visiting the Happy Witch’s House at Linvilla Orchards with our granddaughters, Morgan, Avery and Peyton.
We had a happy ending to a scary news story in Philadelphia. A young woman was abducted and missing for 2 days. They found her in Maryland. Thank God they found her when they did because it was not going to end well. The guy is evil.
Another story, yesterday from our neighboring county, and I’m sure this will be a national story by next week, a mother and her boyfriend in the presence of the boyfriend’s wife [oh my is all I can say] beat a 3-year-old little boy to death because he wouldn’t eat his breakfast. The details are worse than the worst horror film. The DA already announced he would be seeking the death penalty. I cannot seem to shake the sadness I feel for that poor baby and his 6-year-old brother who was also abused and now is safely with other relatives.
Have a blessed weekend,
Doreen

Oh I saw that on the news. Crazy! Your visit with your granddaughters looks like so much fun!
It is heartbreaking and yes, the grandkids can make all the sadness go away!
I read the article about the 3-year-old last night and wanted to puke. I cannot believe humans can be so inhuman. Really? To think how sad that little boy’s life was and he could have had so much to live for with other people besides those two beasts for caretakers.
Looking forward to Friday Fragments.

I am still so heartbroken for that kid and I’m praying his six-year-old brother will get a shot at a safe life.
I read that as “Witch Lit Show” and thought, WTF? LOL
Lol..this post did have a lot of witching going on. Wis is short for Wissahicon, a small town here in Pa.
Don’t worry about being a lame blogger; when you are busy with so many other things, it’s tough to fit it all in!
Thank you, Sheryl.
I read both of the stories and the second one made me ill. Mental illness at the expense of a little one. The most horrific kind of crime. A young, defenseless child. My heart aches.
Your foreword should be a mix, but why John Huntsman? Anyway I think you should definitely get a mix of people. Good for you that you’ve written another book. I am impressed.
That horrific murder is still breaking my heart too.
I am getting excited about the new book I’m looking forward to sharing Sophie’s story.
I will send you a message on Facebook explaining Huntsman.
Give your granddaughters extra hugs when you see them. It helps ward off the bad things.
They do help make all the bad news better.
What a busy week and you had your car stolen too! There are lots of authors on this meme. So talented.
It was a crazy week.
I am glad that you have been editing more – that means that The Stranger in My Recliner hits my nightstand sooner! Awesome witch photos!
Thank you so much Ruth. Just for that I will have a promo copy for you.
We are all lame bloggers at some point! Glad you’re getting your book done. Woo hoo!
Thank you, I am getting excited about sharing Sophie’s story.
Inspiring. You are so close to another book. That is wonderful. As are grand kids and getting the young woman back alive.
Thank you Nancy.
I was so grateful as well that the woman in Philly was found. Isn’t that everyone’s horror story?
So funny, I’ve been leading a group of bloggers who do a monthly post of snippets (we call the post Fly on the Wall) that we describe as too short to stand alone and too good to discard for over 2 years now. We all link to each other in our posts and love doing them. They’re fun to write and fun to read.
Love your comment about hiring the plumber to paint your house. Yikes, can’t imagine how that looked.
That sounds just like Friday Fragments. Love it!
The paint job was awful, we are still cleaning up the mess.
Only 20 pages left! that is wonderful, congratulations! I find the writing is so easy, it is the editing that complicates the process. Your granddaughter do look very happy to be visiting a witch’s house.
Have a great week!
Editing is exhausting but so worth it!
What heartbreaking news, except for the abducted woman who was found.
That stinks about the sideswiping. Some people are really careless.
Wonderful pictures.
That poor baby and his torture put my annoyance over my car in perspective.
