When my daughter hurts, I hurt. All you moms and dads out there know what I'm talking about.Over Easter weekend, Wendy and Jeremy were forced to put their beloved 11 year old dog, Bailey, to sleep, due to multiple problems, including old age and undiagnosed diabetes....

I've been in Toronto, participating in Harlequin's annual More Than Words celebration. This accounts for my absence from the blog for a few days--did you miss me?More Than Words, for those of you who haven't heard about this wonderful program, honors five women each...

To look out my windows right now, you'd swear it couldn't be Good Friday. It looks more like Christmas Eve, with all this snow--yes, snow--tumbling down, edging the top of the fence, frosting the great pines and Douglas firs surrounding my house.Frankly, I'm beginning...

It snowed again! What's that about???? Isn't it supposed to be SPRING?Amen:)Tonight is Weight Watchers--I'm looking forward to weighing in, if you can believe it, because I'm doing really well on the program. It works for me.Today I'm doing a read-through and revision...

Both girls are recovering nicely. Deb is still pretty sore from her fall, and all Bernice (the Yorkie) needs is a little pirate hat to complete her ensemble. Her right foreleg is heavily bandaged, giving her a peg-leg look. She was rummy from the pain meds, etc., last...

Today's blog must necessarily be short, as I'm leaving in about fifteen minutes to take Bernice, my spunky little Yorkie, to the veterinarian for some (hopefully) minor surgery. She has a wart on one leg, and what we believe is a benign tumor under one "arm". She's...

Ah, yesterday. One of those days.I got off to a slow start anyway--I'm in a mulling phase--and I had just opened the window to write this blog when I heard my friend and long time employee, Debbie, call out from a room at the other end of a long hall. "Linda! I need...

Lots going on. I'll fill you in tomorrow.
