Wow!  I love it when I hear from so many of you at once. Mom is much better and planning to head on home later today; some of the crew will be checking on her regularly, though, to make sure she's thriving.  It's been fun having her here--she's good company--but I...

Yeesh.  There's been so much going on here on the old homestead, I'm not sure if I'm coming or going.  🙂 First, our winners for this week.  They are: Peggy Clayton and Louise McCourt.  Congratulations, both of you; you'll be receiving your autographed books soon....

First, though, a happy birthday wish to my nephew, Jerome Lael.  He's 16 today!  Hard to believe--they grow up so darn fast. Mom is still coughing, and I've asked her doctor to refill her antibiotics Rx, and also to make sure she's getting enough oxygen.  She's...

First, this week's winners: Sharon Louise Rackham and Sue Grace.  Congratulations, both of you.  Your autographed copies of "The Marriage Season" will be on their way soon.  As always, a new round begins today, so just comment and you're in.  2 winners will be chosen...

Yesterday was Weight Watchers--and I said a prayer early in the day, asking to be grateful, whatever the scale said.  Good thing.  I was up 3.2 pounds--not surprising after a trip and a sprained ankle--but I got my answer, too.  I was and am grateful--because I found...

The computer ate part of my blog, but for once, I was prepared and made a print-out before I hit the "publish" button. Here's the rest: This is where I start losing track of what happened on which day, so bear with me, please.  🙂  Gary, Marsha, Jenni and I drove to...

80 comments on yesterday's blog.  WOW.  I love it! As promised, here's more on my trip: On Day 1 (before the sprained ankle), Jenni and I met with Gary and Marsha Roche, mentioned yesterday, at breakfast in the restaurant next door to the Gettysburg Hotel, where we...

Yes, limping.  While I had an unbelievably wonderful time in Gettysburg, I managed to become a battlefield casualty by spraining an ankle on the morning (yes, the morning) of Day 2.  We were visiting the North Carolina monument, and I was bragging about how the Laels...

Congratulations to Sherry Marks and Pat Parker.  Your autographed books will be on their way soon. Since I'll be in Gettysburg until the 25th, we're skipping the contest just this once.  It will continue the following week, I promise. I'm hoping to blog during the...

It would help if I knew what day it is! Winners will be announced tomorrow.  🙂

I must say, I enjoyed my rest cure.  The dog and kitty kept me company, while I read (and read)--slept--and then read some more!  And when I was too bleary-eyed to read, I listened.  🙂  I also washed down copious amounts of Tropical Hibiscus, my favorite tea, but I...

I'm still feeling a little rough, so I'll be doing my work in bed today, with a heating pad and a lot of Tropical Hibiscus tea, my absolute favorite.  🙂 I am so blessed! There are some books I want to tell you about, but that will have to wait a little while. Back...
