Leaving Denver
On to Colorado Springs. As soon as I finish this morning's radio interview, I'll be moving on.I had the BEST time yesterday at the Barnes and Noble signing in Lone Tree. I met up with Kimberlee Gard and her little buckaroo, Landon. No more than 3 or 4 years old,...
Denver
I'm in the mile-high city this morning, awaiting the delivery of my room service breakfast. This is living. Back home, I can't get the trail boss to bring me a tray unless I'm seriously under the weather. 🙂 I have a couple of interviews today, and a signing at the...
My Mama…
Is 80 years young today! Happy Birthday, Mom. I wish I could be there with you to celebrate.My mother, Hazel B Lael, is one perky lady. You'd never guess she'd hit the big 8-0 to meet her--she's sharp and funny and always busy with her many projects. She has one of...
Hello from Big Sky Country
I'm in Billings, Montana, and got up EARLY this morning to appear on two different TV news shows. I'm enough of a ham that I really love appearing on TV--even when it's still dark outside!I only got a few hours of sleep last night, because I was so charged up after...
Greetings from….
The coffee shop at Cheyenne Regional Airport!Gosh, I'm sorry to be leaving this windy, snowy town. I made some new friends here, and felt right at home. Joanne Kennedy was my able escort, getting me to the TV station by 6 o'clock yesterday morning! Later, we stopped...
The Finish Line!
It's still dark, but I just finished "A Creed Country Christmas" and sent it off to my editor via email. Phew! I'll be leaving for the airport in a little under two hours, and I haven't packed a thing, so this is going to be short.First stop, Cheyenne, Wyoming. I hear...
On the Road Again…Almost
Tomorrow, two big things will happen in my life. #1) "The Montana Creeds: Logan", hits the bookstores. #2) I leave for my tour. First stop, Cheyenne, Wyoming. Yee-haw, open this chute, boys, I'm ready to ride!Sadie continues to be our very own Biggest Loser. The...
Self-Talk and Other Ramblings
I've discussed affirmations on this blog before. Except for the one I told you about--good enough that it bears repeating, so I will at the bottom of this page--they don't seem to work very well. Why is that?Like virtually everyone else in the known universe, I both...
Thursday Thoughts
I'm off to a slow start today--another one. I'm letting that be okay. I'll quietly write my chapter and celebrate Sadie's progress, (she's celebrating her dog bed at the moment, worn out from yesterday's exercise session), do a little art work, and call it good.I...
Saddled Up and Ready to Ride
Right now, part of the theme song from that old television show "Rawhide", is running through my mind. You know the one, back when Clint Eastwood was a nobody? And those words are, "rollin', rollin', rollin". That's me! Ready to roll.I'm leaving on a five-city tour...
A Boomer Remembers…
On this truly historic day, I cannot help remembering my sixties youth--I remember Selma, I remember a little girl, walking bravely into a classroom, surrounded by guards, such a tiny little thing, all spruced up for the first day of school, crossing not only a...
Sadie’s Big Adventure
The odyssey continues! Sadie lost 1.8 pounds last week. She is much more limber, like her old self, and very active. Today, she starts her second week of aquatics, and she even ate her special dog food without hesitation this morning. (Beagles can be very stubborn; at...
