LIFE’S A HOOT

Funny that my birthday falls on a Wednesday this year. I started a little thing with my
grandchildren called Anything Can Happen Wednesday, where something a little
bit out of the ordinary happens every Wednesday. I find little things to shake up the
routine—play a game we’ve never played before, watch a movie we’ve never seen
before, maybe order pizza, start a paper ball fight, you get the idea. SO the birthday should be fun this year. I may do all of those things today and really
shake things up!
Eleven days into the New Year have so far brought some
success—my own, this is the third anniversary of Owl's Eye View Magazine, and I
have some loyal readers, thank you all very much. And also my grandson’s, who has mastered the
potty! No more diapers or pull-ups, even
at bedtime!
This time last year I was still living in Georgia ,
beginning to pack for the 800 mile move to my son and daughter-in-law’s house
in Pennsylvania . A colossal upheaval, and equally colossal
adjustment for me, has been rewarded with waking up to my grandchildren’s happy
racket each day which makes me smile, and knowing that I am useful again to the
people I love most in the world.
Whatever twists and turns are in store during 2012 I hope at
least the ones in Owl's Eye View bring you chills and satisfy your
ooky-tooth! Muahaha!
As for the twists and turns in your real lives, I hope they
leave you happy and prosperous!
In this issue of her “On the WindSpirit” column, Lucy
Bernelli begins the year with a flashback to her past—and then sets out on a
six issue journey into her future. How
far will she take us? Keep reading?
Nathan Williams shares some fond (well, this is Owl's Eye
View, so take that adjective for what it’s worth), childhood memories in
“Swooping Through the Years.”
Been wondering whatever happened to Max Vale? Well, for the next five issues of “From the
Perch” Melanie Alden will bring you up to date.
Ever stroll all the way down Liar’s Pond
Road , over that little bridge and around to Colbert
Mansion
Children can bring us inestimable joy or inestimable
sorrow. “Macabre Mirth” brings us the
dilemma of in-between.
Got a brat? Need a
remedy? Consider “Cure-a-brat.com” a
story I wrote while pondering child-rearing one afternoon…
If you’re juggling bills in this horrendous economy, you
might want to read “Disconnect Notice” before deciding which bill can wait…just
sayin’…
And last but certainly not least, it’s time for a whole new
novel! The first installment of
“M*E*D*S” will take you into the ooky behind the scenes world of retail
pharmacy—and is based on some of my true-life experiences during my seven long
years as a retail pharmacy technician.
To my former co-workers and friends from that era in my life, please
know that I think of you often, and 200 pages of “M*E*D*S” is my proof of
that. Muahaha! Let the ooky begin!!
Thank you for reading Owl's Eye View Magazine. January 11th is my birthday and
the anniversary of the premier issue in 2010.
The best birthday present I get every year is your acceptance of my
columns, stories and novels.
Chills!
