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.

Enjoy your break. If it's not fun it's not worth doing, that's for sure. Take care.
Paulie, I had to drop back on the memes also. We really aren't accompolishing anything by making all those comments.
Hope everything is ok with you.
Hi Paulie,
I came by earlier and seen your post but didn't comment cause you said you were taking a break.Thanks for coming by and commenting on mine. I hope that you have a good break. Sometimes i think i need to take one too, as i spend wayyyyy too much time on here. It is so addicting.
Ok have a good rest.
I know the feeling - there is more to life than blogging!
I have myself had to reduce my blogging for a while, ad it will probably be further reduced during summer.
We are here any time you want us!
All the best!
I definitely know what you mean!
Have a nice break! We'll miss you!
Everyone needs a break once in a while - Good for examining whats really important in life.
Please enjoy your break paulie...sometimes we all need to just get away from things. I hope things in your life settle down for you soon. Take care!
I hope you have enjoyed the break from the blog and have gotten other things done. We need to talk sometime about a summer outing.
No window screens in India and we closed the windows so we had no monkeys visit while we were out.
Enjoy your break-I hope some great spring weather is headed your way. I know how you love to walk!
Thanks for commenting on my blog--kinder is MUCH more taxing than anything I have ever done in my life!
Paulie,
Take care of yourself and remember that whatever you do, wherever you are, you are a blessing!
Take good care, and know that we will be here when you are ready to come back :)
Find your favorite spot by the water and let the sound rest your soul. Angels all around you.
