Day 12
Day 12 of WHAT, you ask, as you well might. 🙂 The answer is, I've discovered a devotional series called, "45 Days With", and I'm well into "45 Days With Abraham Lincoln". There are numerous other books in the series, and I have a stack of them waiting for their...

I am blessed
To have so many wonderful friends--all of you. Your sweet, generous words always touch my heart. Bernice is 15, and she does have arthritis, of course, but she's still pretty spry. She's always had dog steps--I believe in spoiling my pets. 🙂 Speaking of blessed,...
Dancing Lilacs
A day or so ago, when I sat at the desk in my bedroom alcove, I saw a motion out of the corner of my eye and turned to look. The white lilac bush next to the fence seemed to be dancing alone in the early morning breeze--everything else was still--waving its limbs as...
The Weight Watchers report and other stuff
Down about half a pound--which is good. I've been "stuck" at the same weight for several months now and, I must confess, I tended to beat myself up about it. Then I listened to a podcast on Tips of the Scale, episode #144. The guest was Tulin Emre, who bills...

It’s official….I’m an Audible.com ADDICT
No, seriously. I renew my annual membership, like, every other month! It's getting scary. I simply consume audiobooks--words in, words out, that's my excuse. I seem to crave words. I would breathe them if I could, absorb them through the pores of my skin---today,...
Busy day!
Whenever somebody has a birthday, the whole crew celebrates, and today it was Jeremy's turn. A great time was had by all. After things settled down, I decided I needed some art therapy. I did some sketches and painted all afternoon. Also poured a few candles--don't...
RE: Bananas
Why do I love Weight Watchers? Well, there are many reasons, but one of the main ones is--wait for it--bananas are a power food! They are free on both the Simply Filling and Points Value programs. Yeehaw! I was actually UP 1.2 pounds this week, but it doesn't...
Lock-picking Horse and/or Bananas vs. Crackers
This afternoon when my now 15-year-old Yorkie, Bernice, (yesterday was her birthday) were out for our walk, we stopped to watch with amused interest while Banjo, one of my horses, tried to pick the lock on one of the stall doors. Although supper time was a ways...
All about “Interlude”
As promised, here's some information on the novella I wrote, called, "Interlude". My heartfelt thanks and admiration goes out to Brenda Novak, aka Superwoman, who organized this fantastic project and is overseeing it almost single-handedly. People like Brenda make a...
