I spent it: Vegging.  🙂  Reading.  (Finished "The Memory Palace"--excellent if sad, and started, "The Dirty Life", a memoir about farming--too graphic for me.)  Doing art.It was wonderful.  Now back to Parable, where my lively crew of...

I need to be extra-gentle with myself, bring the stress level down a few notches.  🙂  I've been worried about too many things lately--most of which, to paraphrase Mark Twain, will never happen.  And, of course, compared to the problems people in other...

Today I'm working on my book and nothing else.See you tomorrow.

My friend Josanne Lovick, who produced my book, "The Last Chance Cafe" for Lifetime a few years ago, is pitching several of my projects to the Hallmark Channel tomorrow--"The Man from Stone Creek" is among them, along with "A Stone Creek Christmas"--Olivia...

Yeehaw!  "The Creed Legacy", Brody's story and the final book in the Creed Cowboys trilogy, comes out today!  I am SO excited--this one really touches my heart.  There are bright red peonies popping with color right outside my window as I write this,...

I guess our alotted week of summer isn't up after all.  :)The weekend was quiet; I mostly puttered, watering plants, reading, listening to "The Churchills in Love and War"--and watching art videos.  I finished the cards for a very challenging artist trading...

Have you ever had one of those weeks?  🙂  I'm not saying this past week was bad, because it certainly wasn't.  It was just crazy-busy.On Sunday, niece Angela and her beau, Taylor, prepared a wonderful family feast out at the lake house.  We had SO...

At long last, summer has arrived in Spokane.  They say it'll last at least a week.  (Just kidding.)The new laptop, to be reserved for blogging, has yet to show up, but I'm expecting it today.  Once it gets here, I'll fire it up and load it for action,...

Today, I'm enjoying my company, Debbie and Steve Korrell.Also, the laptop I use to blog at the kitchen table died a grisley death, which means some shifting around.  🙂  I've already ordered a new laptop.I'll blog more extensively tomorrow.

I am a proud mama every morning, but especially this morning.  Last night, Wendy's first ever produced script, "The Truth Below", aired on MTV.  As an insider, I know how long and how hard she worked on this screenplay, and what a long road it was to...

I sure hope so, because that's about how fast I seem to be moving these days.  🙂  Today's big news is Wendy's movie: "The Truth Below" will be on MTV tonight, at 10 pm Eastern.  It's a good suspense story, but if you're not into graphic, don't go...

Quite by accident--if there is such a thing--I discovered "Karrie on Canvas" on Youtube--and I love the loose, free way she paints, the bold colors, and the whimsical subjects.  I've got a piece underway following one of her demonstrations, and I'll post it at...
