		<title>Buried in Books, Dreaming of Surf and Sand</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Certain places sing to the soul, just as is true of books, music and art.  You could say these places are God&#8217;s artistic gifts, made just for me.  Or, you.  Which places do the singing depend on who is listening. One of my places is the North Carolina outerbanks, and&#8211;I know this is gonna sound crazy&#8211;but I like [...]]]></description>

		<title>In Which We Coin a New Verb and Consider a Zoo License</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I hear there are people out there who don&#8217;t like animals, or have no desire to keep a pet.  I&#8217;m even related to a few.  While I&#8217;m sure it must be difficult to sleep at night knowing they haven&#8217;t got any pitter-pattering or chicken-scratching feet around their home, I&#8217;m here to tell them they can [...]]]></description>

		<title>Happy Birthday, Tolkien and 2012!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve decided to forgo posting my goals for this year, since so many of them are really just a continuation of past year&#8217;s goals with the added caveat: No Excuses. Instead, I&#8217;m sending out a happy birthday note to a man who has been my friend these many long years, J. R. R. Tolkien.  Many of [...]]]></description>

		<title>I Wonder As I Wander</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All my life I&#8217;ve had wanderlust&#8211;and I&#8217;m not talking about going to see the biggest ball of twine in Minnesota.  Wonderous as that sight may be, many of the places I long to visit are a little further from home.  I want to breathe the spray of Angel Falls, spend a night at the South Pole Station, take [...]]]></description>

		<title>For The Triumphant Nano-er in Your Life</title>
		<description><![CDATA[And any other people on your list who fit that most impossible of all personality types&#8211;writer.  Of course, maybe you&#8217;re way ahead of the game and have all your holiday shopping bagged, boxed, and under the tree.  But if your situation is a little more like mine and this tree could be your tree&#8211; Then here, as [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Tiny Attempted Fib and Tiny Fairy Houses</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I think this may be the longest I&#8217;ve ever neglected my blog&#8211;nearly two weeks!  But, at least I have a really, really good excuse.  I got an&#8212; !!! No, I can&#8217;t say it.  Not even as a joke.  Somebody would be sure to believe me and then word would spread and pretty soon everyone would [...]]]></description>

		<title>Gloating While I Can</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Most of you are doing this: Or, some variation thereof.  After all, Thanksgiving is next week and there are menus to write, food to cook, and guests/travel to plan for. I, on the other hand, have been doing this, and this, which is me setting up my winter village and making winter/Christmas crafts.  As I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Giving Thanks for My Veterans</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When people talk about Veterans Day, the image that comes to mind is often something like this: And that&#8217;s a beautiful example and a fine tribute.  Today, however, my thoughts are a little closer to home as I think of my Grandpa and my brother, Jake.  I see each of them standing tall and proud in their [...]]]></description>
