The Iolani Palace staircase highlighting a bronze neoclassical statue of woman holding an electric lamp. The Victorian era palace was thoroughly modern for its time and was built with electric rather than gas lighting. Photo by Robert Emond.

The details you added with the mending are an improvement over the original in my opinion.

I can’t recommend this book enough. It is useful from both a social science/academia perspective (my world) and a fiction writing perspective, which will help one be a better writer.

Today is the book birthday of HEROINE'S JOURNEY. She turns 4! Thanks to any and all who gave my first non-fiction foray a chance. I very much appreciate it. I had no idea it would touch so many, and it's been a delight bringing it to you.

Interference patterns give me a headache, but I still find them fascinating.

I showed Lisa and she said “well that’s a mess” I agree. From tips of those awful shoes to the limp hair, yikes. Really the only positive is I like the color of the “dress” or as Lisa called it the “torn Goodwill lingerie” 😀

Tell them they can have my roasted parsnips or beets 😀. They just have to come to Oregon in autumn to get it. Or send a self addressed stamped envelope 😉.

Yummy. Old bay is also good on roasted/boiled potatoes as well as the broccoli.

Looks so good. I use leftover steak in salads and/or grilled steak sandwiches with grilled onions and cheese.
