Suzie’s House 92: A New Direction
Joe and Sean grew up in the rough and tumble world of car bombs and stabbings in Dublin. When Joe caught Vin pretending to be a cab driver to lure Sean into a trap, he shot him. Days later, they coincidentally attended a party in Cindy’s apartment, which is next door to Suzie’s House. Drew shot them both while attempting to arrest them. Since then they have holed up in the apartment of a woman who was out of town, […]
Thursday Thirteen 52:Googling "Alice Would Rather"
A while back I did the Thursday Thirteen in which I googled “Alice needs.” It was a list with a lot of animals looking for good homes. This time I googled “Alice would rather.” I think I like this one better. 1. 4 year old alice would rather read a ridiculously long book then go to bed. … 2. Alice would rather have like to play the game some more (she was beginning to feel that she was getting the […]
By George! The King Just Keeps on Going, and Going, and Going…
What could Mr. Al have been alluding to last week when he said the Prince had shocked the King? Let’s find out. Take it away, Mr. Al. . . As dismaying as it may have been for the King to know that the Prince’s private life was anything but, he most certainly expected the details of his own life to remain private. Imagine then, his shock upon discovering that his correspondence with the Prince on the subject of the Prince’s […]
What Do You Do With Them?
The Boy went out the window last night. He went because he was grounded and didn’t want to be. Not that he had anything special going on. No, it was plain old cussedness that got him, and it got him bad enough that he actually spent the night in the car. It took me a while to figure out where he went. Of course I was going nuts. Worse, I kept thinking that if he wouldn’t honor the requirements of […]
Picture Meme
Michelle introduced me to this meme. When I saw where I landed, I couldn’t resist. The instructions are: * Go to your Sixth Picture Folder then pick your Sixth Picture. * Pray that you remember the details. * Tag 5 others. This is what I landed on. Considering how gerbils play a part in my blog and web site, I couldn’t resist. This is Midnight. She’s about 6 months old in this picture. Did you know gerbils can live up […]

After the Party
Jack: What’s the matter, Darling? Why so blue? Jill: Our families went home. Jack: Yeah. It’s going to take a lot of work getting this place fixed up. At least we haven’t had any buyers for the house come by in a while. I’ll bet I can get the wall fixed before the real estate lady calls again. I don’t blame you for being upset. Jill: It isn’t that….. Jill: …. it’s just…. Jill:…. I miss them. This one continues […]
Suzie’s House 91: Crashers
Joe and his brother Sean are not nice men. Joe shot Vin weeks ago and since then Sean has stalked Ben while running a little web-based game involving intentional car accidents. In last week’s episode, Christina, the CIA agent, revealed their whereabouts. Joe always struck Sean as being a bit fey when he got that look in his eyes. He sat in the front parlor of Ravenhorst’s farm house and stared out the window at the highway like he had […]
Thursday Thirteen : Horrifying Moments from my Past
1. When someone I didn’t know all that well broke out her vacuum right in front of me to clean a carpet that looked pristine. She later turned out to have a psychological disorder involving cleaning things. 2. When a close friend did exactly the same thing not long afterword. I told her she was scaring me. She grinned. 3. When, being the most sober of the bunch, I agreed to drive the car of an acquaintance from one resort […]
By George! It’s Just a Weensie Favor
Last week Mr. Al talked about the new Prime Minister, Addington. Lets see what Prince George wanted from him. And so it came to pass that The Prince needed a weensie favor from Parliament. I know my regular readers are thinking, “He wanted his allowance increased.” You people are SO cynical! You think with the Prince it was all about money, or women or horseraces or strong drink. Give the guy a break! He did think of other thing occasionally. […]
The Gypsy Queen
No, it’s not a Halloween costume. Remember a while back when I bought too much fabric? This skirt is one of the first things I made with it. The Girl loves it. She even thought of pairing it with the tie-die T-shirt. I think they go great together in a Bohemian sort of way. Mr. Al took one look and dubbed her the Gypsy Queen. The thing is, she’s wild and crazy enough without with the wild and crazy outfit. […]

Kleenex Ghost
These are quick and easy Halloween ornaments. All you do is wad up one tissue. Place a second tissue over the first. Twist the second tissue just under the wad. Tie off with dental floss or string. Leave enough string on the end to be able to tie to a tree, bush, or house. Notice, all you needed was the tissue and the string. These work best indoors. 🙂
Survival
Jack: Was that the door bell? They aren’t here already, are they? You’re family is scary. Jill: My family?! What about YOUR family? They’re beasts! Jack: Well yours are monsters! I’m serious, Darling. The way your cousin Mike looks like he’s only got one eye, and that thing your cousin Jeff is always carrying. What’s up with that? Jill: Well your Aunt Mimi is an old crocodile! Jack: Old? You want to talk about old, what about Carol and Anthony. […]
Suzie’s House 90: To Reconsider
Christina noticed the way Miranda took the seat on the couch next to Vin, removing the remote control from his hand so they could clasp one another. Suzie sat stiffly on the other side, leaving Christina to sit in a hard backed chair facing the three in their living room as if it were she to be questioned, rather than the other way around. She sat on the edge of the chair; her hands clasped before her, leaned forward, and […]
