I think I am addicted to spring.  It is SO beautiful--and I'm 99 percent sure this is my beloved sister-in-law Anna's birthday.  🙂  Have a happy one, sweetie--we love you very much. Well, yesterday was just CRAZY busy, but it all got done.  I had my dental...

Busy day ahead--completing Chapter 3, heading to the dentist's office, and meeting with my depression/anxiety group this afternoon.  I'm not really depressed OR anxious, but this eight-week program is part of my treatment for ADD--yes, I have just been formally...

I can't remember what Friday's child is.  🙂 Fair of face?  Has far to go?  Help me out, here. Today the weather is teetering on the brink.  Will the overcast skies give way to sunshine?  No telling.  But I'm assured that the weekend is going to be lovely, so that's...

The blog has been sketchy lately, and I apologize for that.  Yesterday, I was busy in Blue River, Texas, riding herd on a couple of unruly McKettrick men.  (It's an awful job, but somebody has to do it.  🙂 )  I've just wrapped up the second chapter and I'm fixing to...

Who knows how long this lovely weather will last, this being spring and therefore a most unpredictable season, but I'm enjoying every moment of it.  Yesterday, we had rain and guess what?  That was nice, too.  🙂 It's time to plant some zinnias in my indoor...

I had a FABULOUS weekend.  Saturday was beautiful all day long.  Bernice and I made our pilgrimage to the barn and I listened to a book on my iPod while she explored every nook and corner.  That done, armed with GPS on my cell phone, I headed out for the Kootenai...

The soundtrack from "Oklahoma" is running through my head today--the sky is a brilliant blue, the sun shining fit to draw the flowers right up out of the ground, already blooming.  YES.  It's my kind of day.  🙂 Today is a writing day, and I'll be reading galleys over...

I was so into drafting the new book that I never got around to writing this blog, though I thought of it a few times.  🙂 Bernice is just back from her much-anticipated visit to the barn, which is referred to in her Yorkieship's presence as the B.A.R.N.  We also have...

It's quiet around here today, and that's good.  I'm starting a new book, and quiet is an important element in the process.  🙂 I hope you had a lovely and sacred Easter--mine was the stay-at-home and rest kind.  I did make a quick trip to the grocery store, but other...

My childhood friend, Katie Cremer Johnson, passed away recently, way too soon. Katie was one of the most spirited and vivacious people I've ever known, full of fun, laughter and mischief.  In high school, she once wore a teacher's shoes around all day.  They were the...

Just yesterday, niece/assistant Jenni showed me how to get to this larger window, so I didn't feel like I was tweeting, with a 14o character limit.  Seems like I learn something new every day, which is a great thing.  I guess when we stop learning, it's all...

I don't think that last link worked.  Sorry about that everyone.  Here it is!   http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fon.fb.me%2FHYyBC6&h=yAQG5TOdMAQFUeErFSXZz7CuBAHlkt0djvZYk8H5fRyr_ZQ
