Debbie/Bernicie Report
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...
Bernice and Me
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...
What A Day It WAS
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...
Back Tomorrow
Lots going on. I'll fill you in tomorrow.
Cowgirl Goes Crazy!
Yesterday, I made the happy and fortuitous mistake of attending a saddle and tack supply auction here in Spokane. As you know if you follow this blog, my number 1 saddle is my dad's, given to me last Christmas by my big-younger brother, Jerry. I treasure that saddle,...
A Day for Doing Other Things
I had one of those just yesterday! :)Never did get around to writing--guess I needed a Mental Health Day. Still, being descended from good sturdy blue-collar stock, I had to do something constructive, so I cleared MOST of the craft stuff off the kitchen table....
Books, Books…
And more books! Gotta have 'em!What fun I had at Auntie's Book Store last night. We met in the coffee shop, a diverse group of around a dozen people, and chatted informally. I do enjoy that so much--I'd finished a chapter of a book an hour before, and I thought I was...
How I Work..and other stuff
There are patches of ground showing through the snow. Can it be that spring is stirring?I drafted a full chapter of "Taming Dylan" yesterday--I'll polish it today and go on to write Chapter Two. I am already LOVING this book. Getting CHAPTER ONE done is usually a big...
The Firefly Syndrome
Over the weekend, I discovered that I suffer from the Firefly Syndrome. Especially when it comes to art--with writing, I'm pretty disciplined and focused. With art...Well.I go from one fascinating project to another; rubber stamps here, watercolors and artist trading...
Dateline: Spokane
Today, some minor revisions to the outline I did for "Taming Dylan". Have I mentioned that I have the best editor in all universes? Since it's Friday, I plan to spend most of the day doing more of my art work. I'm really getting into these Artist Trading Cards--I like...
My heroes have always been…
Cowboys! My dad, in particular. I'm currently incorporating a picture taken of Dad and me on his horse Peanuts, circa 1951, into Art Trading Cards and collages. Perhaps it is a way of dealing with grief, but I seem to be fixated on that picture. I had it put on a...
Sneaky Stuff
This flu is sneaky stuff. It's easy to think you're over it, then find out you're not. So if you have it, or even think you're getting it, be careful. REST.Plans for today are pretty low-key. Work on an outline, and do some art--that's about it for this cowgirl.I...
