Last Night
The many and varied members of Wendy's writers group came over for spaghetti, meatballs, red wine, and great talk. We had a wonderful time! Writers, of course, are great storytellers, and there were some wild ones. We even watched a few clips from the movie Wendy's...
Friday Morning
Another lovely, blue-skied day in California!We decided not to go out for Mexican food last night, and ordered pizza instead. We were all in the mood for a quiet night--watched four episodes of "Vacation Home Search" on TV. On this program, if you haven't seen it,...
Warm California Days
Again with the blue skies and the sunshine. I LOVE it.I told you about our visit to Gladstone's last night--I am still full, hours later!Plans for today include working on "Logan's Return", while Wendy writes away on her current script. With the writer's strike on,...
Gladstone’s
We celebrated Wendy's 33rd birthday tonight at a wonderful seafood restaurant in Malibu called Gladstone's. Unbelievably wonderful place! At the end of the meal, our leftovers were wrapped in animal shapes of foil--a swan, a rabbit, a shark and a whale. (I FELT like a...
Hello from California
I finally managed to find this blog on my new computer! As I write this, I am sitting in my daughter's bedroom, which I have usurped like visiting royalty, with occasional visits from two grand-cats and a grand-dog. Life is good.Today is Wendy's birthday, so we're...
Signs
I like signs--have them all over the house. Not 'stop' signs, the other kind. For instance, there's a little board over the back door that reads, "Happy Trails to You." Two more arrived recently, and they seem to express the sentiments of a snow-bound woman. 🙂 One...
Birthdays
Today is my mother's birthday--I won't tell how old she is, as she's still pretty strong. 🙂 My brother, Jerry, is celebrating today, too. He's a couple of years younger than I am, so I'm not telling his age, either. Yes, their birthdays are on the same day--and...
Cycles
It's still dark out as I write this--I see lights glimmering on the other side of the valley, but the snow-laden trees are still invisible. In daylight, the landscape is calendar-beautiful.Maybe it's the weather--lots of snow on the ground and more predicted for...
Weather or Not…
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.But send a plow. :)The stuff is STILL coming down. As it stands, it would be easier getting out of here on horseback than in a car!Fortunately, I don't have to commute. I'll just stay right here and write today's portion of...
Still Snowed In
But the landscape is breathtakingly beautiful. A literal winter wonderland--but too deep to walk in. The horses seem to love it--Coco dashed out of her stall this morning with her tail and her spirits high. April, who is a neatnik, was upset last night because...
Still Crafting
Why didn't you stop me? :)I'm excited. The new book, "Logan's Return", part of next year's three-in-a-row release, is going very well. I set a goal to rack up 5000 words per day, and I've been doing that. I just get sucked right into the story, with the characters,...
P.S.
Something funny. A few days ago, I wrote about making a list of the qualities I was looking for in a man, and tucking it away in an underwear drawer. My cousin Doris read it and thought I'd said I put the list in my underwear. Her reaction? "Man, that girl is...
