Did you vote?
I mailed in my ballot yesterday, and I'm thankful that I have a small voice in things. Now, I know some of you would argue, with no little justification, that individual votes don't really matter, so why bother registering, going to the polls or filling out a ballot? ...
Back in the game!
All right, I've had about all the fun and rest I can stand. 🙂 It's time to get back to work! That said, I had a great weekend. Wendy and Jeremy joined me for corned beef and cabbage, as planned, and then came over again for roast beef. (We're Dr. Seuss fans...
Finished!
It's a miracle, and I know Who to thank for it--"Big Sky Summer" is complete, and I'm giving myself a long weekend as a reward. I want to do art, to think and pray and read. Oh, yes, and cook a little, too--corned beef and cabbage for supper. 🙂 The fancy...
One day more!
Believe it or not, I am on the homestretch with "Big Sky Summer", and it feels great! (Even though I suffer from a form of empty-nest syndrome when my characters leave home. 🙂 ) I'll be drafting the final chapter today, fleshing it out and giving it a polish...

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 ...
