Kitchen Table Blog
It's one of those days again. Vicki got in around eight pm, and we came back to the house and talked and talked and talked. There was a lot of catching up to do, obviously. Now, we're drinking coffee at the kitchen table and I'm writing this blog. Oh, the wonders of...
Mary Ann’s Birthday
I often mention Mary Ann on this blog, and some of you probably wonder who the heck she is. 🙂 So I'll tell you. She's my first cousin--we were raised together, literally in the same cradle or crib. (When we were two, we used to get into fist fights.) She also works...
My Journal
I don't know what I'd do without my journal. It really gets my head on straight--gives me perspective and good ideas. There's a lot to be said for getting stuff out of your brain and onto paper, where you can see it. This morning, for instance, I worked out some plot...
I Won!
Thank you for all your votes! "A Wanted Man" has been named the Best Western Romance of 2007 by the wonderful people at www.lovewesternromances.com!I am so proud to have this award. My monitor isn't working on my main computer--frustration city. I'm hot and heavy into...
Paying the Price
I was up until almost 2 am finishing Sue Grafton's new book, "T is for Trespass". I've been reading the series since A--needless to say, I'm a major fan of both Grafton and Kinsey Millhone. So I woke up very late this morning, and I'm just getting to this blog now,...
Hayseed Hotzler Rodeo Clown Socks
Rhea Hotzler of Long Prairie, MN, sent me the most fabulous gift! A pair of "Hayseed" Hotzler socks. They are marvelously warm and wildly colorful--I'm wearing them as I write this. (And my toes are toasty.)Rhea's husband Gary (aka Hayseed) was a rodeo clown until he...
Horses in Trouble
Earlier legislation made the slaughter of horses and the exportation of their meat illegal in the United States. That law has been circumvented by sending these helpless creatures out of the country--mostly to Mexico--for killing.There is a bill coming before the...

What Snow?
I promised myself I wouldn't mention it. :)I was so full of great plans for yesterday. Here's what actually happened: I hit the wall. Took a hot bath, smeared myself with Vicks (smells like love), put my pajamas right back on, and crawled into bed. I slept and slept....
Rambles
You're probably getting bored with snow blogs. Still coming down, and a heap expected tomorrow. I sure am grateful that I work at home!It's summer in the book I'm writing--thank heavens. When I write, I'm right there with the characters, in the thick of things. This...
It Doesn’t Show Signs of Stopping…
And I've got some corn for popping. :)The snow is still coming down, obviously. A coyote just passed the fence--there he went again! (We interrupt this blog to make a flying trip downstairs and make sure all the dogs are inside.) I'm back--all dogs and cats present...
And Still It SNOWS
Today, I'm in the middle of a big snow globe, and Somebody shook it! 🙂 Billions of tiny flakes, each one different! Beyond incredible.Writing to do today, and then crafting. I'm into resin jewelry right now--learning to put pictures into pendants. My favorite is the...
