BAVARIAN BLUE

Posted on November 16, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

The trees may be different,
but the sky is the same

Its luminous blue
sets memories aflame –
Of time spent in Bavaria Continue reading →

Bee’otch ON THE RUN

Posted on November 8, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

After a recent close-encounter-of-a-wild-kind, I thought I’d ask Jazzy to guest post this week’s adventure. It took an extra biscuit and the promise of two bacon-cheese flavored beggin’ strips, but I managed to convince her. It especially seemed fitting since L. L. Bean is under the impression that she and I are the same person. So, without further ado, I turn my flashing cursor over to her:

HALLOWE’EN HAUNT

Posted on October 30, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

T’is the eve before November first,
The night vampires rise to quench their thirst.
T’is the time men are shackled
to walls and beds
for fear the moonlight will burst their threads
transforming them into

MY SPACE

Posted on October 3, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

Writers write. Right? Right, but where do we write. Most of the time, I write on my lap while sitting on my sofa. Now, while this is probably not the best thing for my posture, it seems to work very well for my muse. At least until the hounds start a barkin’ and a hollerin’ for a snack, a walk, or some attention. That’s when I run away to my office, my space—the place where a writer is meant to write—a place that I’d like to share with you:

GOBLINS, GHOULS…and OREOS?

Posted on September 26, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

It seems to me that every year retailers begin selling their holiday wares a month earlier than they did the year before. At the rate they are going, by 2020 we’ll be spinning dreidels and decking our halls with holly in June. If it was up to them, they’d probably have us stuffing multi-colored, creme-filled chocolate eggs, gefilte fish, and matzoh balls into the barren cavities of our Thanksgiving Turkeys too, Continue reading →

I HAVE A DREAM…

Posted on September 18, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

… and that dream is to one day experience mankind coming together to celebrate what we have in common rather than to fight over our differences. We all know that much of the world is a crazy mess right now, but there is a lot of good happening too. I am an avid optimist and I do believe that one day my dream will come true, however to do so, Continue reading →

WHEN SH-NIKE HAPPENS…

Posted on September 12, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

…things can go incredibly wrong. You could end up needing stitches and a lot of body work in the small span of a mere forty-eight hours like I did.

I blame it on hormones Continue reading →

DA OW A GA

Posted on August 16, 2013 by Donna Gwinnell Lambo-Weidner

Since packing up and moving to California eighteen months ago, we’ve often been asked whether we’d ever made it up to Tahoe, which, by the way, is the mispronunciation of da ow a ga, the Native American Washoe words for edge of the lake. Thanks to visiting family, as of last Wednesday, we can finally answer this question with a resounding, Yes! Continue reading →
