Moose Visit
Yesterday, while I was writing away, word reached me that there was a moose in the front yard. I've seen several, since moving here, but it's a sight I never get tired of. I dashed down to look, and there was Bullwinkle, just across the driveway, nibbling at my red...
Our New Walmart
I admit it. I LOVE Walmart. For one thing, they sell a lot of my books. And I do mean A LOT. For another, they carry the chicken jerky strips my dogs love--a one-stop shop, with very few exceptions. Who cares? you may be asking. Is this a blog or a commercial for...
Foggy Draw
Fog has settled in the draw this morning, and it's a beautiful sight. (Susan: the draw is behind the main house, the one on thirty acres, with the barn. 🙂 )Who is Susan, the rest of you ask, as you well might? Well, she's better known as Lisa Jackson, #1 New York...
On a Break
Sheesh.Working hard on the current project. No real excuse there, since I ALWAYS work hard.For those of you who live in the Ellensburg, Washington area, I'll be at Jerrol's Book Store this Saturday, November 10, from 2-4. I hope you'll stop by if you can. I'd love to...
The LaJolla Writers Conference Report
Okay, I didn't take my laptop, and I'm glad I didn't, because as usual, I had way too much luggage in the first place. :)So many great things happened that I wrote a prompt list in my journal, so I wouldn't forget to tell all.#1 My daughter, Wendy, attended, and her...
Bumper Cars
Do you ever get the feeling you're standing in the center of one of those bumper-car rides at a carnival, periodically blind-sided by a racing car? Maybe knocked down--or even run over??Of course I'm referring to problems--the kinds of things that seem to come out of...
Miscellaneous Tuesday
Well, I got to messing with my crafting--burned fingers are healed, for those concerned--and got to the blog page late. The nonfiction book about Buck is on hold, but I'll keep you posted on that. Meanwhile, this just in--I'll be rewriting an older book, "Willow",...
Craft Injuries
You have to be smarter than the hot glue. Alas, here I sit with two burned fingers, so this blog will probably be short. I have to keep dunking my hand in the bowl of cold water at my side. 🙂 Undaunted, I WILL craft again. And of course I will write, because that's...
Catching Up
Well, I missed two blogs, and some of you were concerned, which I think is very sweet. Here's what happened: I finished "A McKettrick Christmas" sooner than expected, so I decided to goof off! I went to Walmart on Thursday, early, and by the time I got home, I was, as...
Wednesday Musings
Well, I got up late again, though I did get to spend some precious time with my journal. This is a form of prayer for me, and it never fails to get me on the right track.The fires continue in the San Diego area, as you know. I encourage you all to pray along with me,...
Back Home
I came home a day later than planned, which is why I didn't have a blog up yesterday.My visit to Oregon was absolutely wonderful. I enjoyed my gig at the Northwest Women's Show enormously--put a microphone in my hand and I turn into Oprah--but by far the best part was...
Cowgirl on the Road
I'm leaving in a little while to fly to Portland for the Northest Women's Show. Details of the appearance are on yesterday's blog--I hope you'll stop by and say howdy if you happen to be in the area.There will be a lot of free time on this trip, so Sister Sally and I...
