Nora Roberts is a well-known romance author. Her books have been published in many languages and countries. “Dance Upon the Air” isn’t one of her most popular or even my favorite book by this author. It is, however, indicative of the great power of Ms. Roberts’ writing and her ability to touch a reader, even as she provides goose bumps, smiles and laughter.
MultiCare Health System, which includes a clinic in Covington, was recently featured in Forbes Magazine as one of the American Heart Association’s “Gold Level Start Fit-Friendly” companies.
My husband, who is a fan of history, reminded me of the old Chinese curse (yes, curse): “May you live in interesting times.” Indeed, these times are nothing if not interesting. Funny word, “interesting,” with a long tradition of being the substitution of choice when the user actually means “lame,” “horrible” or “wretched.”
A grocery store clerk handed me a two-dollar bill the other day with my other change. My immediate thought was that the bill was bogus. After all, you so rarely see one that’s it easy to forget it is legal tender. But it’s got Thomas Jefferson’s face on it.

During the December snowfall, this igloo in the front yard of Deanna Dent’s home in Covington was designed by her son Joseph (second from right) and built with the help of other family members (Benjamin, Clarisse and Ray, from left) and his friend, Tyler Jenson (right). They spent 10 hours building it from 55 100-pound blocks of snow formed by a Rubbermaid container “and lots of snow packed into the cracks and crevices. They had a great time,” Deanna Dent said. Joseph’s older brother, Leland, also helped but “left early to dig his girlfriend’s car out of a snowbank in Snoqualmie,” Deanna said.
