I'm not really hundred percent sure of this it was pretty incredibly strange. As an American living in the UK, it was something I'd heard a little about but not seen before. I'm of course talking about what I guess can only be called a British theatrical tradition the British pantomime. My family tried to explain it to me but I guess didn't really know where to start especially the pantomime dame. I have to admit a lot of it went over my head probably a lot of that was due to being deaf.

Happy Thanksgiving

As the title says happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate. I'm finding that even here a few people I know (Brits) are also enjoying the celebrations. I'm grateful for the freedom that I have living what many would call a blessed life I love my family and friends here in real life and online. As much as I love it here in the UK I have to admit being a Boston girl I miss the snow, Boston Mass is famous for snow, and for the beautiful colors of fall I see that here in the UK.

Merry Christmas and a little food for thought (as the Brits say)

First off Merry Christmas to all this has been a hard year for many. My husband is a nurse and like many others he has seen first hand just how bad this virus can be. At times I know for a fact he felt as though he was in combat (no disrespect to those in the military). We have seen him come home defeated during the first wave saying that he's never seen so much death.

Last weekend we went to watch Karl (my beloved) play soccer for our church team. I know, I know it's a British game you guys invented and it's called football not soccer lol. Anyway, it seems that I committed a cardinal sin by talking/signing to a young lady whose boyfriend played in the opposing team. She's not deaf but does sign as one of her friends is deaf it helped me as well as I'm adapting to BSL. I saw a disruption out of the corner of my eye involving hubby it seems he injured this lady's B/F. I saw him literally flying over Karl's head as he slide tackled him I think he said.

Once again thanks go to Elrod who looked over this story. My editor sent him a draft also. Thanks go to my editor Ibi who spent a lot of time on this and helped me define Jenny and her new found abilities. Which is one of the reasons this part has taken so long to write.

Michael Stephenson III's world would no longer be seen in the same light after his hasty arrival into Bikini Beach's small first aid station. His life changed as with many others outside the water park and its sprawling establishment with his placement in a makeshift bath.

The title says it all pretty much. This is my favorite holiday and I always miss my family at this time. I'm slowly mastering British Sign L

Hi everyone the title says it all, Happy Turkey day to all who celebrate it. Living this side of the pond they don't celebrate it here. But we do as a family although I'm the lone American here. But like I tell our kids they are half American and should honor their family roots. So have a wonderful fun-filled day with your family.

The second part of Bikini Beach Russian connection is being proofread. Ibi has kindly offered to do this again. The story is, in fact, going to be told in three parts now. I was hoping to complete it in two but it's not gone as planned.

I think I have only mentioned this to a couple of people at Big Closet. But I'm deaf which is a challenge I use Amerivan Sign Language (ASL).I live in a foreign Country as well. My complaint or grouse is that people do not speak to me. They talk over me to my husband it's like I don't exist to them. What makes it worse is when he does the same. Although I have to say in his defense he's trying to protect me.

Bikini Beach; The Russian Connection part 1.
By Cheryl L

Many thanks go to Elrod for his help in this story. He helped me to develop the story. In ways I would not have thought of. Also thanks to Ibi who worked tirelessly and patiently as editor, proof-reader and sounding board.
I’ve added a post that will explain/decipher some British and American cultural differences.

Hi well finally completed the first part. I had the help of a very patient editor and proofreader this time.This time the story is a little longer but does flow a lot better. I'm sure that there are still some errors there. Please let me know what you think.

The title is as above.

I need to have my story removed from the B.B universe page. It seems the story is OK but there are a lot of grammar and punctuation errors in it. OK to be honest way too many of said errors. I now have a proofreader who has offered to help me correct the errors. Being dyslexic, I should have thought of this before. Karl, my husband, complimented me in both writing it and finding a site where I would get so much support.
