I’m dancing as fast as I can 🙂
Well, the book is taking up about every spare moment of my day--I have just three more chapters to write to finish the story! WOW! I haven't forgotten about the contest: I'll choose my Halloween memory winners tonight and post their names tomorrow. I truly...
Sorry I’m late!
What a weekend I had! On Friday night, daughter Wendy and I, along with Cousin Mary Ann and her daughter, Jenni, spent the night at Northern Quest and took in the Sylvia Browne show. That lady cracks me up--if she wasn't a psychic, she could be a stand-up comedian! ...
It’s me again!
Another great day, another great WEEK! I've got some polishing to do in the morning, but I've met my writing quota again this week, and that's a miracle. Literally. Weekend plans are exciting indeed--tomorrow, Wendy, Jenni, Mary Ann and I will all be in the...

Afternoon blog
I got right into the book this morning, and I was busy all day long, so I'm just now sitting down to blog. Someone asked about my new schedule: I work four days, and take three to refill the creative well, resting, reading, doing art work, cooking and, sometimes,...
Tidbits
Wonderful weekend! I cooked a pork roast yesterday, and Wendy and Jeremy and Jen all came to have supper with me. Wendy and Jeremy brought 4 pumpkins, one for each of us, and we carved jack-o-lanterns, making a glorious mess and completely confounding Bernice. 🙂 ...
I did it!
I met my writing quota for the week--four chapters!--and now I'm going to PLAY, nonstop, for three whole days! YEEHAW!! Loving your comments--please insert your full name somewhere in your message, as we had some confusion last time, with two people having the same ...
It seems to me…
...that writing a book is a brave thing to do. I've been realizing lately that whatever I put my characters through, I go through as well. All the "Big Sky" books are as honest as I can make them, and it can be painful to reveal so much about what I REALLY...
The winners are…
Crystal, Maggie Arnold, and Sam. Please send your snail mail addresses to me at [email protected], and I'll send each of you a signed book. I had such a good writing day yesterday--Casey and Walker both amaze me continually--and I'm looking forward to another excellent...
And a fine Tuesday morning it is
A writing day--my favorite kind! Yesterday I drafted Chapter Four of "Big Sky Summer", and I plan to write Chapter Five today, since I'm on a roll. Last Friday, Wendy, Jeremy and I picked up my mom, Hazel, and took her to lunch at the Onion, here in Spokane. After...
The reunion and other adventures
The Lael/Kramer clan met at the Longhorn Barbecue on Saturday morning, for breakfast, storytelling, joking around, and lots of hugging. 🙂 Cousin Barbara Lynn did a wonderful presentation on our ancestors--all the way back to the Revolutionary War. We've always...
