Almost at the finish line…
Well, I've been working like a maniac, seven days a week, to wrap up "Big Sky Secrets"--the final book in the Parable/Three Trees saga. Is it because I want to get shut of the characters and the story? Heavens, NO. I love these people, they're very real to me, and...
You are all a blessing
Have a good weekend, my dear friends. I'll be working, but it's no great hardship, so don't feel sorry for me. 🙂 I expect to finish "Big Sky Secrets" on Monday, and that's sure exciting. Plans for next week include an accupuncture treatment--I'm really looking...
Sunshine Returns to Spokaloo
Yeehaw! I love me my sunlight--although I do tend to whine if it gets too hot outside. 🙂 This morning, I decided to try something a little different re: my meditation time, so I sat on the deck in one of the rocking chairs (it's been too rainy to do that for quite...
Top o’ the mornin’
Fresh from my morning quiet time--meditation, prayer, an episode of the Daily Audio Bible, and I'm good to go. I'm ready to dive right into the book, but I decided to say howdy to all of you first. 🙂 That way, I won't obsess about neglecting you all day, and you...
A day late, but here goes…
Our "The Lily and the Lotus" winners are Phyllis Vonmiller and Tinna Doub--you'll be hearing from Jen tomorrow, when she contacts you for snail mail info. Congratulations to both of you. I have to apologize for all these missed blogs, but here's what's going on. I've...
Interlude
I've had a great writing day--yeehaw! The contest begins--finally. 🙂 I'll be giving away two copies of "The Lily and the Lotus" this coming Monday, along with signed copies of a Linda Lael Miller book. All you have to do to enter is comment--I'd love to know why...
New York, Day 3–and other stuff
On Day 3, I had quite a lot of free time, so I visited Lee's Art Supply, up on 57th, another favorite. I'm told Brad and Angelina bring their children there sometimes, but, alas, no sign of the Pitt family on this trip. 🙂 I had a ball just the same, picking up a...
New York, Day 2
This was a free day--I slept in late and then visited one of my favorite shops in the Big City, a little nook called, "The Ink Pad". As you might guess, this is a rubber stamp store, but there are other intriguing art supplies available there, too. Once I'd made my...
About New York….
I know I promised the first installment yesterday, but, alas, I got so into my writing that, by the time I was finished for the day, I was clean out of energy. 🙂 My health has improved enormously in recent days, however, and I'm both thrilled and grateful. I'm not...
Today’s my birthday—dah-dah-dah!
In case you're confused by the title of this blog--and who could blame you if you were--it's supposed to sound like the song. 🙂 Just be glad I didn't actually SING it. As some of you know, I share my birthday with my late dad, Grady "Skip" Lael, so we're including...
Home Again!
Well, I have so much to tell you about my trip to New York City that I hardly know where to begin! I arrived home late (VERY late) on Tuesday evening, exhausted and with a pretty good hitch in my get-along, too. That morning, still in the Big Apple, I decided I...
Short but sincere
I had hoped to have more time for this blog, but I'm in a rush--even after packing and preparing most of yesterday and getting up at 4 this morning--I have just 20 minutes until I have to leave. Headed for New York--yeehaw!!!--and the big Books Exposition America...
