Two of you will win a $100 Visa gift card--and you'll be chosen at random.  Cards will be sent out on December 20. The "bad" news?  My people are advising me to cut back to one contest a month, at least here on the blog.  There are more on my website and also on...

A good time was had by all at the Seattle party--we all gathered at Christina Dodd's lovely condominium for food, fun and friendship.  There was a lot of laughter and shop talk, and I loved every minute of it.  Jayne Krentz was there, along with Cherry Adair, Stella...

I had a long, lovely and very restful Thanksgiving weekend, and I sincerely hope you did, as well.  I did a lot of thinking, praying, reading, painting and resting--and, of course, some eating of turkey and trimmings, graciously served by Wendy and Jeremy at their...

I'll post pictures of the double rainbows AND the dog as soon as I figure out how.  🙂  I knew how to do that on Blogger, but WordPress is fairly new to me.  Margie is my daughter and future son-in-law's dog, actually--and she's a doll.  Bernice, my 12 year old...

This afternoon, after a rainy day, we were graced with not one rainbow, but two, arching across the sky.  Beautiful!  I'll be tweeting pictures soon. I like to think that double rainbow was a blessing for my new grand-dog, Margie, an adorable Golden Retriever who will...

I feel as though I've been away from this blog for too long--no excuses for it, except that I try to write in the mornings and will probably be writing most blogs in the afternoon.  I miss having daily "contact" with all of you.  I had a very restful weekend, all...

Prizes will be awarded next Wednesday, November 21.  And here's the question: Have you ever seen a ghost?  If not, has anyone you know had an experience like that? I know, I know--that one comes out of left field, but there you go.  I'm full of surprises--and a few...

Although yesterday was Veteran's Day, many of us are observing the occasion today.  To me, this is one of the most important "holidays" in the year--a chance to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all the brave men and women, past and present, who have preserved our rights,...

"Let us go forward together".  The American people have spoken, and as far as I'm concerned, that's sacred.  I don't discuss my private political opinions, ever, but I feel strongly about complainers who never actually get to the polls.  Armchair-quarterbacking, I...
