It was great!  And today is my sister Sally's birthday.  Happy, happy, sweetheart.  I love you. My niece Kelly arrived on Friday night--she's going to special classes in pursuit of an advanced degree--and we had a lovely visit at my place.  Kelly is my brother's...

I've got to get somebody to show me how to access the whole of your comments since I haven't figured it out on my own and as of now I can only see the first line or so.  Just want you to know that I do read them and I do care what you say, though I can't always...

I'm revising Chapter 2 of the new book today, and drafting Chapter 3.  I'm amazed at how easy this process has become since I started treatment for ADD!  It's almost like that old fairy tale, where the shoemaker goes to bed and when he wakes up, the brownies have...

I've always been a goal-setter, a person who visualizes and affirms and all that other stuff.  For the most part, these methods have served me well--I am, after all, living the dream that little Northport girl believed in so fiercely.  On my next birthday, I will be a...

It was a lovely one.  Mom, brother Jerry, sister Pam and I all sat down together for a quiet lunch at this very kitchen table, with only one member missing--our sister, Sally.  We did a lot of laughing and catching up, and some remembering, too.  Hadn't seen Pam in a...

Where does the time go??? A week ago today, I was getting ready to fly to Oregon to visit my sister Sally and her wonderful family.  Suddenly, it was a whole week ago???  Hard to believe. I've started the new book, "Big Sky River", and while the first chapter always...

Thanks to my hair crew, I'm presentable again.  At least for a month or so.  🙂 The weather today is so glorious, it cheers a winter-weary heart.  I've spent much of my morning quiet time just admiring it, and also savoring my coffee in the pretty new cup I bought in...

My hair has reached the crisis point.  I think I qualify for a national disaster grant.  🙂  Can you guess what's on the schedule for today?  That's right--my trusty hair-stylist and colorist are riding to the rescue.  And it's none too soon--my hair is in open...

Today's weather is so gorgeous.  It makes me want to sing the whole score of "Oklahoma".  (You do not want this to happen.) One song I could burst into with impunity is Happy Birthday--to my gorgeous niece, Samantha, who is whooping it up in Las Vegas even as we...

Was fantastic! Where do I start?  I flew to Portland and, while I was waiting for Sally, I bought four shirts and a pair of shoes.  And this was BEFORE I even left the airport. She and I went to visit my niece, Samantha, where she works, and it was a real kick to see...

I'm off to visit my sister, Sally, and her family in Oregon. Tell you all about it when I get back!

I never watch this program live--I always seem to be doing something else when it's on--but I Tivo every episode.  Last night I watched the season finale, and I heard something I'd like to write on my office wall in big letters.   Bishop T.D. Jakes said, "What you...
