- Going ten days without power in October is a lot less harrowing than two days in March.
- I have the most amazing, generous friends.
- There’s nothing quite so useful as a child, who has not lost power, living in town.
- The lengths I will go for a hot cup of tea.
- When you’ve read all you can read, and gazed into your beloved’s eyes quite enough, Solitaire can keep one from going stir crazy.
- Sleeping in 55 degrees is lovely.
- Sleeping in 43 degrees is not.
- Cats make nice bed warmers. (I’ll be kinder when they’re taking up all my foot room from now on.)
- Eating breakfast, lunch and dinner out actually does get old.
- Having a Halo is the difference between, “This isn’t so bad,” and “I’m going to bite the next person I see.”
- Writing beside the fire isn’t just a romantic notion; it’s rather special.
- Cold makes the cats (and Frankie D) hyper.
- Betta fish can survive 55 degrees, not 43. Boo.
- Enforced time away from a novel in progress, while frustrating, can create magic.
- Frankie D is still, after nearly thirty years, the one I most like to spend time with.
