Email in our personal lives was the number one way of communicating to each other, we can send emails around the world with a click of a button. It was quicker than mailing a letter and waiting days for a response. Today in 2014 we want quicker, faster and more immediate responses, we want instant gratification from text messaging and face timing. I suggest emailing is fast becoming a dinosaur, all I seem to receive in my inbox are advertisements and spam. However with that being said email does play a vital role in our working environment.
Here comes the good stuff, folks! Apologies as always for the delay. Travel and changing work schedules have prevented my anxious fingers from clacking out this story as quickly as I'd like. Soon, however, my time will be my own again, and the rest of this story will soon follow!
I am fortunate enough to have a stepfather who has gone to great lengths for me. There for my formative years and beyond. Always a great sense of humor. He's a great human being and I'd like to pay a little tribute to him. He didn't have to do any of it.
The fictional tale of lighthouse keepers in the 1880's, tending a Lake Michigan lighthouse. The characters in this story are completely fictional, while the lighthouse is quite real and still in use. The details of its function, while not necessarily specific to this exact light, are consistent with the general function of lighthouses in this era.

New Orleans, also known as the 'Big Easy' and 'NOLA,' is a Southern city entrenched in tradition and permeated with a uniquely special culture. This piece lists my random thoughts as a visitor to New Orleans.

The end of Part 15. It's been an intense several weeks of living in my mind in 1863, seeing that battlefield as it must have looked in the aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. It is with hesitation myself that I depart Gettysburg with Ellie, myself as spellbound and mystified as she, as if looking over my own shoulder as this phase of my story slips away into a new chapter...
Careening toward the 6-month mark of story writing. Thank you once again to all of my readers who continue to follow this adventure! It is my pleasure and privilege to continue to develop this unpredictable story.
Five pages for you, gentle readers. My appreciation as always for your patience! I hope you enjoy an exceptionally long chunk of this story that's been building up for the past two weeks. Looks like there will be two more parts to Part 15, which isn't showing signs of slowing down just yet...
This is the story of how Luna, the family dog, helped to aid my mother back to health after suffering a car accident. To my surprise, even as her daughter and a Nurse, I still lacked what my mother needed to get better. I soon realized however that Luna was the key to my mothers recuperation. At first I was critical of the dog because she was from the shelter but given the opportunity Luna proved to be a caring companion, for us all.
A'right, a'right, a little over a week...but not bad, no? :) Thanks as always to my constant readers. For those of you just joining us, please head back to the first part of this (presently) 18-part story!
My sincere apologies for the half-month delay in this installation. This last bit has been tough to write for reasons unknown. But the point is, it's coming, and easier now! Hoping to have the next installation out within the week. Thanks for your faithful reading! It is my continued pleasure to tell you the story that seems to tumble in pieces from my wandering mind.
