Summer Caterpillar to Senior Butterfly

Ocean City NJ, walking by the ocean, summer dayWhen I think of the ocean, I always think of Ocean City, NJ. If I’d known when I was 13, or 16, or 26, or 46, or 66 that my days summering for a week at the NJ seashore wouldn’t last forever, I wouldn’t have believed it.

For over 50 summers I spent a week reveling in the New Jersey shore. My parents rented a small 2-bedroom cottage beginning when I was 11 years old and from then on, we never looked

I love reading Daniel Silva books. The one before Ransom - disappointing. But Silva is back in form with Ransom. One of my favorite books by him. Many of the same characters here as in other books. Some of them are more fleshed out. Good plot, fast p ...more

I enjoyed The Midnight Library and had high expectations for The Midnight Train. Instead, I plodded through the book (through Audibles) and couldn't wait for it to be over. I'm sorry, Matt Haig! I dislike giving three stars, but I feel that the autho ...more

The title didn't entice me, so I wasn't going to read this book, but I'm glad I did. Historical fiction but also contemporary in a sense. The reader is placed in different times, back and forth, from WWII to the 1960s: magical (in a sense) and includ ...more

Quotes by Pamela Wight  (?)

“Photographers are writers- Writers are photographers: we catch a glimpse of something beautiful – a flower, a glance, a window – and catch it into our camera or writing lens: add a bit of glimmer, a ghost of shadow, allowing the background to sink into fuzziness while focusing on the sharp beauty; thus, we highlight the romance of life.”
― Pamela S. Wight

“First frost meant letting go, so it was always reason to celebrate.”
― Sarah Addison Allen, First Frost

“Reality, in fact, is usually something you could not have guessed. That is one of the reasons I believe Christianity. It is a religion you could not have guessed. If it offered us just the kind of universe we had always expected, I should feel we were making it up. But, in fact, it is not the sort of thing anyone would have made up. It has just that queer twist about it that real things have. So let us leave behind all these boys' philosophies--these over simple answers. The problem is not simple and the answer is not going to be simple either.”
― C.S. Lewis

― Pamela S. Wight

“You might need to walk into happiness, like it's a joint, and once you're inside, you own it.”
― Adriana Trigiani, Tony's Wife

“There's a much deeper and meaningful conversation being conducted in the space between the lines.”
― Dave Cenker, Second Chance
