The Case of the Missing Blogger
I'm BACK from New York and, while I had a fabulous time there, as always, I'm delighted to be home. I'm worn out and have some kind of bug, but eager to get back to my writing and my regular life. What all did we do? It will take a week to catch you up on...
Holy smokes, it’s already Thursday????
It's almost time to head out for the Big Apple. Amazing. The way time works, I'll be back home in a nanosecond, asking myself how the trip could possibly be over already. 🙂 Summer has finally arrived, it would seem. We're having hot weather and the plants are...
What a writing day!
I was really in the swing yesterday, writing and writing and loving every minute of it. This Parable crew is a lively bunch! I'm leaving for New York this Sunday, taking a little vacation, and visiting the Big Apple is always a treat. It will be hot but, what the...
My Fourth
I spent the night at the lake house, with the kids, and Bernice came along for the ride. We feasted on barbecue prepared by my future son-in-law, Jeremy, and talked and talked. They've been living in California for so long, we have some catching up to do. 🙂 At 10...
Rising and Shining (Or doing my best to shine, anyhow)
I love it when I wake up early--that way, I have a few hours to putter, drink coffee, feed indoor critters, listen to the Daily Audio Bible on my iPod and write this blog without feeling rushed. Ideally, I'm at my computer by nine a.m., that being when I do my best...
Finally Rested Up
Just in time to head out on a week-long trip to New York City. On my to-do list? Dinner at the Russian Tea Room with my beloved editor, Joan Marlow Golan. The Flea Market. Lee's Art Supply--one of my faves--and the Ink Pad, a rubber stamp store. My niece Kelly...
Back at long last….
I intended to blog on Monday, filling you in on all the details of my trip to Reno and the rodeo, but I was too tired to think straight. 🙂 Well, of course, Tuesday immediately followed Monday, the way it tends to do, and guess what? I couldn't get online. All...
Rodeo Bound
I'm off to Reno tomorrow for the rodeo--yeehaw!!! Some packing and writing to do, so I'm making this short. Given all the problems I had trying to blog from California, I'm just going to save up the whole experience in my busy little head and write it all down for...
A Day in the Life…
The weatherman promised sunshine. So far, it comes and goes. I'm acting on faith, here. 🙂 So, anyway, this morning I go downstairs to clean up my crafting space--I was in a frenzy yesterday afternoon and evening, after I'd finished my writing for the day,...
It’s official, I’m crazy
Ever since Laurie Mika's classes at the CREATE Mixed Media workshop in California, I've been spending every spare minute making polymer clay tiles. It's a fever, a compulsion. At first, I worked in my kitchen/breakfast nook area--where I write this blog most...
Miscellaneous
I love reading your comments, and I thought I'd address a few of them in today's blog. RE: "The Last Chance Cafe". This movie was made for Lifetime TV, and I enjoyed visiting the set and meeting Kevin Sorbo (Kevin is not only handsome, but smart and nice, too), who...
Holding Strong
"Big Sky Country" is hanging in at #2 on the Times list! YES!! We have sunshine today, and I'm loving it. Yesterday afternoon, we had a duck-drowner of a rain storm, complete with thunder and lightning. I had just finished writing for the day and we all--Mary Ann,...
