Thank you to reviewer, blogger, and all-around book brainiac Little Willow for alerting me to this issue and getting me the permission to repost this piece from Lorie Ann Grover (I wanted to the same thing with Little Willow’s name that she did with Lori Anne’s—you know, where you click on it and it links [...]
So, even though I live in a nice, new, very suburban development (I should probably hate how all the houses look the same, but I can’t–I just love the neat-and-tidy feel to the neighborhood) we live down the street from a “commercial district” of sorts. This means that I have to travel six miles to [...]
What better way to celebrate both Marquee Monday and my recent family vacation than with a nod to our 50th state?
On the Big Island of Hawaii, fields of black lava rock fringe the “highway” (often a two-lane road with max speeds of 35 mph). To shake up this sometimes barren landscape, people will write [...]
Did you ever see that ‘80’s sitcom about the girl raised by two single men, each of whom might be her biological father? I was pretty young when the show was on, so I don’t think I was ever clear on the logistics of their living arrangement, or how/why each man was so certain the [...]
I snagged this marquee picture back when I was on vacation in idyllic Claremont, CA. This was pre-immobilizing-sunburn, pre-father-in-law-health-crisis, pre–well, pre-MAY. Not to dis May. I love May. I even love this May (although I’ve spent the better portion of it in bed). It’s just that [...]
It’s back, and it’s better than ever!

The good news:he is expected to fully recover.
The other good news: while on our way to visit him in a Murray, UT hospital I spotted this primo marquee.
I hope David A. takes full advantage of [...]
Some of you have asked: Where are the pictures of Emily on this site? Now there are three, yes three, pictures of me. Just click the “About” link and behold.
For your viewing delight, some quality signage I found while out and about. This led to pondering on how much I truly love marquees. I will continue to share quality marquee messages on Mondays. Until I run out of marquees, a day I hope shall never come.
Something that has been bothering me for some time, now: Does anyone know what’s up with the song selection on Rock Band, video game extraordinaire? How depressing is it that I only know a handful of the songs?
This last week, driving my car has cost approximately $7.50 a gallon. I blame this entirely on the (un) fair city of downtown Salt Lake. I can drive in my little suburb for a fraction of this price. But when I want to do something, uh, not entirely lame, I MUST PAY!
Imagine if you will: [...]
