Update from the Triple L

Prayers are needed for my brother-in-law's mom, Betty Lang.  She's a brave lady, and she's mighty ill right now. On a (much) more mundane note, my weight was down 1.6 pounds this week--a relief after all this time stuck in neutral.  I continue to exercise and eat the...

Winners, a two-horse rodeo, and rain

First, our weekly winners, who should have been announced yesterday.  🙂  Alas, both Debbie Gamble and Beverly Majkut have been notified and, ladies, your autographed books are on their way to you now.  (I was out of commission yesterday, for all practical intents and...

Back from my journey/Winners

As you might have guessed, I was recuperating from my (very wonderful) travels yesterday, so didn't get to this blog.  Our winners for last week are: Brenda Ireland and Cathy Green.  Congratulations, my friends--enjoy!  (Not Brenda or Cathy?  No worries.  Just comment...

Weight Watchers, etc.

Progress!  I'm down 2.6 pounds.  YES! I'm leaving town tomorrow and won't be back in Spokane until late Sunday night.  If I can blog from the hotel in Santa Rosa, I will.  I'm sure Jenni will post a few photos to my Facebook page along the way.  I'm also sure I'll...

The winners….

Congratulations to Ginny and to Diane Blaser.  🙂  You'll be receiving your autographed books soon. I think I might have gotten off that darn plateau at last--tomorrow's weigh-in at Weight Watchers will tell the story.  🙂 I'll be traveling Thursday and Friday, so...

You heard it here first! (I hope)

At last, at last, I am free to tell my secret!  The Hallmark Channel is putting together a made-for-TV movie based on my Parable books--and if things go well, meaning, I suppose, if the ratings are high enough (cross your fingers, please), a weekly series will...

Friday–again!

I love Fridays.  (I also love Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, of course.  🙂 )  Each one is a gift, as far as I'm concerned, one I'm grateful to receive. Still, there's something festive about Fridays--there are responsibilities to...

Oh, no, plateau

Who would have thought a good habit like exercising--I'm up to 45 minutes and more than 10 miles on my stationery bike, five-plus days per week--would play such havoc with the scale???  🙂  Good thing I'm half again too stubborn to give up!  In fact, I actually look...

Blood Moon

I seldom get up as early as I did this morning--and I am for the most part a VERY early riser--but today I rolled out of the sack at approximately 12:30 am, having set the alarm on my phone to make it happen.  Why?  Well, I wanted to see the lunar eclipse, the "blood...

Phew!

When some calcium showed up on my recent mammogram, I was scheduled for a needle biopsy.  The procedure was performed on September 30--and I gotta tell ya, as awful as the procedure sounds, it wasn't all that bad--and then it was a waiting game.  I wasn't particularly...

Charting my course

First, however, this week's contest winners are: Kristie Beckman and Joanne Packham.  Congratulations, ladies--you'll be receiving your signed books soon.  As always, for those who did not win, there's a new round going on right this very moment.  All you have to do...
