"5K" anyone?

Posted on May 25, 2010 by Fran Hart

The Lord’s Ways Are Mysterious

Posted on January 25, 2010 by Fran Hart

Posted on November 30, 2009 by Fran Hart

Where did the words go?

Posted on November 17, 2009 by Fran Hart

I posted “Where did the time go?” on my other blog this morning. I was surprised to realize a month has elapsed since my last post there. The sister question to “Where did the time go?” is “Where did the … Continue reading →

Because I have nothing better to do…I’m ready to go!

Posted on October 29, 2009 by Fran Hart

I have been pining for a while. Pining and whining. I’m ready for a change. I’ve been ready for a change. On two separate occasions (once in 2005, once in 2008) I’ve started novels. Like miscarriages, conceived but never fully … Continue reading →

Reading, Writing and Arithmetic

Posted on November 1, 2008 by Fran Hart
