Thanks for stopping by . . .
Liking to write almost as much as I enjoy taking digital photos, this is the perfect place for me. I hope that my visitors will enjoy both as well.

JennyMcB gave me this award and I thank her for the consideration.
Sharon gave me this award and it means a lot to me.
Dragonstar surprised me with this one today!
Lilli gave me this and a few days later Kathy did too. I also received it from Bears In Exile, Sharon, Kerri and Mrs. Nesbitt. I guess I have a lot to live up to as the recipient of this award.
pernille's ting og tanggave me this award this week and I will treasure it and try to always have a good reason to blog.
Counting My Blessings
I LOVE MYSTERIES! But most of all I love mysteries with wonderful descriptions of snow in them. One such author that accomplishes this beautiful writing feature is Diana Mott Davidson and I look forward to her next mystery novel before it ever comes out. Since I was a very young child, I have enjoyed this genre.
Today, it is still my favorite. Now, I have found that I like the descriptions of snow that this author uses and I have written quotes from her books down to remind me.
When I locate my list of snow phrases, I will add them here so I have a permanant location to re-read them often. In the meantime, something kept me too busy from reading her latest novel called Dark Tort and I want to get that asap! All the books are about a caterer who has a son, is divorced and re-married to a cop AND she always solves a mystery connected to her catering and there is always snow in Denver. I wish I could write like her!
Found a few of them!
"Trees high and low were hung with glittering ribbons of snow."
"Sunbeams slanting through the pines and aspen branches winked off errant flakes."
"Out here in the boondocks, the snow is seductively pretty."
"Through the thickening swirl of snowflakes . . . "
"As if on cue, the snow began to flutter down again . . . "
There are more -- I just have to re-locate them. . . hmmmm. maybe a new re-read of each title would be in order!
These are the titles of her books:
Dark Torte
Double Shot
The Last Suppers
Dying For Chocoalte
Killer Pancake
The Ceral Murders
The Grilling Season
Tough Cookie
Sticks and Scones
Chopping Spree
Catering To Nobody
The Main Corpse
Prime Cut
About Me
- Paulie
- My name is Paulie and I have several blogs. I started with "PostcardsfromPaulie" which is my main blog. I have gradually added others. "Turtle Place" is for a new project downtown that celebrates our heritage and one day will be a gathering place like it was many years ago.Vancouver's history. I intend to keep a photo graphic journal of a special house at From My View - the Kiggins House. Living in Vancouver, WA, we have many historical homes and sites and our community is aware of the importance of our heritage. This home was built by the first Mayor of Vancouver and is on the National Historical Register. This year, it was moved from its original site and is being restored to be used as the personal home of the Bruce and Judy Woods family.

How pretty! I bet that was as good as mardi gras.
Were you able to walk down to the river. I always wanted to catch the ones on the Tennessee River. We saw them by accident one year. We don't live that close. Friday night I saw the bridge over the Mississippi was all lighted up. I don't know if it is like that all year or not. We don't get downtown at night much.

Oh yes! The photos were taken from the river's edge. The boats can't come too close to the edge of the water because the river is not as deep for boats there but they parade up one side of it and back down the other. This happens several times during the month of December.
Whether you are standing on the Portland side of the Columbia River or the Vancouver side, you get to see the ships from both views Lots of people go to restaurants and eat their meals and watch them while staying warm. I just bundle up.
The black backgrounds is because they don't sail until dark because they want the lights to show up. More and more boats have joined them since that one first lonely one long ago. The boat owners get no pay for doing it but do it for our enjoyment.
Thanks so much for the CO HO boat! I didn't get to see it on our ride.
