Robert’s Review: No trees were hurt in the production of this story and no new piles of paper were created. Now that I have edited this story, I can scratch it off my to-do list, if I could just find it in my pile of STUFF. Ω Ω Ω Ω…
Michelle’s Review: This was a great glimpse into the holiday feast of a vegan/vegetarian with some great ideas for alternatives for non-meat eaters. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I gave up eating meat more than 23 years ago, and since then, my holiday feasts have evolved from traditional to inspirational. I was brought up…
Gina’s Review: After reading this story, I realized I will also need some indoor pursuits. Perhaps I can create shadow puppets in a carefully constructed living room fort? Really anything to save our sanity as we continue to hunker down, plus I’d be happy to have your crockpot recipes. Well now, today…

Shelley’s Review: I am lucky to also be a member of Cheryl’s FIKA group. I fell in love with Cheryl immediately when I learned that she is not only a fellow extrovert, but also an avid reader of the classics and contemporary fiction. This makes it easier to overlook her…
Anne’s Review: Kudos for taking on and completing your ottoman despite the uncooperative staple gun and the detritus of foam debris—-you are a rock star! I struggled with deciding whether to sew the sides together first and then attach it to the top piece, or to sew each side to…
Tee’s Review: It amazes me every day, the energy we spend attempting to replace the all-important human need for close physical contact with others during this plague. I had a strange vision, a nightmare, that there was a hole in my stomach into which I could insert a portable external…
Carol H’s Review: While researching “internet rabbit hole GPS device” I came to a site stating simply: “You have reached the end of the Internet. Turn around and go back.” ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ When I started Living with Ethel, with the intent to share my writing, I vowed I would apply the…
