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!
On Tuesday in the Philadelphia suburbs it was sunny and 67-degrees, it was beautiful. On Thursday it was barely 40 degrees and they were talking a wet mixture of white stuff. Driving home from work was a mess. So of course we are going down the shore on Sunday.
My favorite TV show obsessions are out of control. Kurt Sutter (the writer /creator of Sons of Anarchy) is definitely going to win a few awards. I did not see this coming:
RAVE: Sons of Anarchy: Finally, finally, finally Jax knows the truth about who murdered Tara! After Abel spent all day scratching himself with a fork to blame it on Gemma to get her in trouble with the school (seriously, how smart/scary is this 5-year-old?!?) Jax decided to get to the bottom of what was bothering his son and told him the truth about his “two mommies.” Now Abel knows Wendy is his “first mommy,” and asked if that’s why “grandma killed my second mommy so my first mommy can be with me.” Cue Jax’s bewildered expression, and the credits roll. Next Tuesday needs to get here now!
Hell on Wheels is back after a three week hiatus. I cannot believe there are only 2 more shows left this season but thrilled the show was picked up for another season. I am a history buff but I had no idea how brutally the Mormons fought against slavery. Today we would call their actions back then terroristic.
The Stranger in My Recliner will be sent off to the publisher next week. I cannot wait to share Sophie’s story with everyone. Wish me luck!
Did you know November is National caregivers month? I had no idea.
I am going to make a real effort to get the bulk of my Christmas and other Holiday shopping done before Thanksgiving. I hope I am not paving the road to Hell with my intentions. Have you started?
My favorite quote this week:
Fear does not stop death, it stops life! Isn’t that the truth?
Have a blessed weekend,
Doreen

I have started my Christmas projects as well! Have a great weekend!
Thank you Judy!
I’ve never seen Sons of Anarchy. I’m going to check it out. Thanks Doreen!
It is a great choice for binge watching!
You’re so right about fear. I love that quote!
One of my favorites.
The Stranger In My Recliner is a great title!
Looking out my window, also in the Philadelphia suburbs, it is a beautiful sunny day. Of course, this could change.
Thank you Roz! It did start out pretty today and cold!
So exciting that your book is going to the publisher! Congrats! Love the title and can’t wait to read it.
Thank you Lois. I will be holding my breath waiting to hear from them.
We’re scaling way back on Christmas this year. One daughter is in Amsterdam, and we’re renting a house in Napa Valley to enjoy with daughter #1, her BF and his parents…and the kids are doing the cooking.
That sounds like a lovely Christmas.
Love the fact that your book is going to be out soon! Awesome.
Growing up my brothers always thought I was strange (still do) because I didn’t like the scary, violent shows they did. I tend to watching things that take me away to a place of Utopia: Mary Tyler Moore, Bob Newhart Show, I Love Lucy, you get the idea. M*A*S*H? Well, they didn’t show any blood!
I am not a fan of scary either and do a lot of hiding my eyes during both shows.
I started watching HOW on Netflix…still catching up.
It gets good:)
OH NO! I can’t read this. You might be further ahead in SOA, or so it seems from the first sentence. I *love* that horribly violent show in ways you’d never expect a grandma to (though it’s funny how many of my fellow grandmas rave about it… so I’m clearly not alone). PLUS, Hell on Wheels is one I’ve started then lost access to and now have it back, so I have catching up to do. Can’t read this for fear of spoilers. I’m sure you understand.
Enjoy, both shows get tough to take but are still SO good!
I should follow your lead and start doing some Christmas shopping. I am glad you found some shows that you enjoy watching. Thanks for the previews.
Every year I say I will get done early, hoping this is the year I actually do.
Love that quote!
I never watched SOA. I know. I know.
Good for you for sticking with “Hell on Wheels”. I, too, am a history buff — even have the degree to prove it, LOL. Still, I just couldn’t get past the first couple of episodes. I heard it had gotten better, but I never did give it another chance. Maybe I will now 🙂
It definitely gets better.
My goal is to get my holiday shopping done early. Thanks for the reminder!
Mine too, good luck to both of us!
Fear stops everything…. I have been with a 6 year old for the past 3 days, non-stop, and am watching her be controlled by fear! We are working on it!
It does. I hate seeing children so afraid. Good luck with her…
Congrats on the imminent send-off of your manuscript to the publisher, I look forward to seeing, The Stranger in My Recliner, in print. That fear quote is perfect. Every single word. Thanks Doreen!
Thank you so much Elin. All I need to do now id to keep reminding myself of that quote.
Congrats and all the best on your new book.
How do you have time to watch TV while writing a book?
Thank you so much! If it wasn’t for dvr I would not be able to watch anything.
I want to see at least one episode of the Sons of Anarchy. My son says I won’t like it, but I want to see Katie Segal in it.
She is no Peg from married with Children in this one:)
My children love to watch Sons of Anarchy. I know many people are addicted to it.
The writing is amazing.
It is so exciting that your book is all ready to go to the publisher! I look forward to reading Sophie’s story, and wish you all the best of luck.
I have fallen out of touch with Sons this season. More like with TV shows in general. I haven’t seen Hell on Wheels, I will have to check it out. Come to think of it maybe I am just out of touch in general. 😀
Keep warm and enjoy the day!
Thank you so much Nita, have a positive week.
I’ve started shopping for Christmas, for myself, as well as a few family members. In August, I bought six beautiful bread knives to give to some on my list. They will be very well received, I’m sure.
Congrats on finishing your book!
Last week, I was complaining that my down coat was too warm. Tonight, I have a fire in the fireplace; this weather is psycho.
Thanks for linking up. Have a wonderful week.
I had trouble commenting to you again. I will try again.
Yes, Canada left the door open or something, we are freezing in Philly too.
