Hallelujah! It's colder than a witch's you-know-what, but the sunshine makes up for a lot. Still, I'm grateful and glad that I don't have to go out today!I'm gearing up for the trip to Prague, but it still doesn't seem real. Sister Sal and I will fly to New York and...

I've got what the old time cowboys and Mr. Lincoln called "the slows" today. I'm not sick, I'm not depressed and I'm not buried under 5 feet of snow--I'm just locked in low-gear for some reason. And that's okay.I'll write--but slowly. :)Life just gets a little too...

I painted and collaged all weekend, and now I need a rest from my hobby! Alas, I don't do anything halfway--it's full-throttle or dead-stop. :)I've made a special collage to get my subconscious mind rolling on the next trilogy, which will begin as soon as I've...

🙂 I meant to blog on my trip to California--I truly did. But my MacAir laptop and the various local wireless networks did not seem to want to cooperate.On the first morning, I rose at the unGodly hour of 3:15 am (early even for me) and stumbled downstairs to meet my...

I'll be heading for the airport in a little while--it's off to L.A. to do my satellite media tour and then spend a glorious week (almost) visiting with my daughter. I'm taking my MacAir laptop along, because it's so light, but until I can visit the Geniuses at an...

The best laid plans. Sadie-beagle woke up yesterday with a case of what we call "scooty-butt" around here, and it was off to her regular veterinarian. Anything further would constitute more information than you probably need :), so suffice it to say, she's on...

I have no outside appointments today. Sadie doesn't have water therapy. I am stubbornly reserving this day to WRITE.Even though my to-do list (I am the ultimate listmaker) is as long as--forgive the cliche--my arm. Calls to make. Things to gather before my flight to...

Sort of. 🙂 I've been listening to a radio tour I did with the wonderful Irene Rawlings while in Denver on this last tour. I'm working on getting the link for you; the one I received in email worked, but didn't when I copied it here. Stay...

No, I'm not planning to drink whiskey!We have a flock of wild turkeys in these here parts, and they go trundling past the fence every so often. They are huge! Did you know that Ben Franklin suggested the turkey as the national bird? He thought them far worthier of the...

Beyond the backyard fence this morning, there is nothing but a solid white wall with a few vague tree-shapes etched in. It's delightfully spooky--and it makes me glad, once again, that I don't have to commute. :)I started "At Home in Stone Creek" yesterday, in...

Sadie is redoubling her efforts to get back on the Gravy Train--now that she's more agile, she comes downstairs in the night and barks--trying to levitate whatever food is on the counter, I suppose. 🙂 She opens the door under the sink and tips over the garbage--to...

I spent much of Saturday with my mom--we had lunch at one of our favorite restaurants, Tomato Street, here in Spokane. We raided Walmart, and Mom got two new pairs of shoes at SAS. I met several of her friends, too. All in all, it was a fine Valentine's Day! Came home...
