Mother’s Day, a mammogram, and beeswax in my hair….
I had an absolutely fantastic time on Mother's Day--Brother Jerry picked me up here at the house, and we drove north to fetch our Mom. My daughter, Wendy, and her fiance, Jeremy, met us at the Onion, one of our favorite restaurants. Mom and I were both pampered--and...
Yesterday
I had no internet service for most of the day--hence, no blog. I did get some writing done, though--a new character appeared, and she will definitely liven things up for Landry and Ria. 🙂 Sister Sally sent me the most gorgeous Mother's Day gift--one of her...
Happy Birthday, Samantha Lang
(Niece Sam, I love you.) Another gloriously sunny day, and I'm soaking it in. The view through my office window is beautiful, though not a horse in sight at the moment. They must be on the other end of the pasture, munching on spring grass. Bernice was here a...
Tuesday, Tuesday
I love Tuesdays. They're so ordinary. 🙂 Or, at least, this one is. No appointments, no conference calls, no errands to run--I can simply WRITE. Tuesdays are also the day iTunes posts new recorded books to download--I usually get so many that I have to call my...
Winners!
Brenda Erickson and Kimberlee Gard, you are our winners. Congratulations!
Friday’s Physical and Other Stuff
It went fine, and the results are in. Or, more correctly, the lab reports are in and available on the website, but, not being a doctor or a tech, I can't read them. So I'm waiting for a translation from my doctor. 🙂 I'm scheduled for the usual mammogram--talk...
Making Friends with Murphy
That seems to be the only option, since Murphy's Law is running the show these days, at least here on the Triple L. 🙂 Nothing big, thank heaven, just things like having to stop everything, go downstairs and hunt up batteries for my wireless keyboard just when I'm...
The One Where the Computer Eats A Morning’s Work
Zounds! I was doing so well yesterday, working away in my new office, and suddenly the computer gulped down my revisions! For a while there, it looked as though I'd actually lost EVERYTHING, though some of it was saved on other computers. First impulse: have a...
The One Where Linda Prays for a Woodpecker
OK, so you all know that Woodie (Woodena?) Woodpecker has been driving me crazy for days, right? Lately, as my quick-witted mother would say, it's been a short drive. Woodena seemed determined to build her nest inside the metal chimney (whatever happened to making a...
A Productive Monday!
Even though I had to pick up my meds--this is something I THOUGHT I had to do personally but, thank heaven, I was wrong--I got some writing done! Back home, I went straight into my wonderful new office and finished a chapter ! Yeehaw! I'm loving this book. My...
The Case of the Vanishing Week
They say time flies when you're having fun--well, it ALSO flies when you're coping with minor health issues and Murphy's Law Unchained. 🙂 We are still enjoying fantastic weather, and as I write this, in my new office, I can look out and see part of the pasture,...
And the beat goes on….
I seem to be in the mood to quote songs today. It is SO beautiful and sunny out, and the tulips and daffodils are frolicking in celebration. Yorkie-Bernice got a much needed bath, since it's warm outside, and this morning, Larry the Canadian Wrangler found a quail...
