OK, I swore I wouldn't complain about the weather, but I'm just saying.  This is so weird.  Snow and rain this morning--on April 26????Is it just me?  I'll be so glad when the Royal wedding is over, including the inevitable rehash of every nuance of the...

Today, I'm brainingstorming for Chapter 1 of the new book, "Big Sky Country", the one set in Parable, Montana, and going to grocery store.  Thrilled by the former, accepting of the latter.I feel great, so nobody worry, and I promise a longer and better blog...

May your Easter season be joyous indeed, and may your heart be lifted by the long-awaited arrival of spring.He is risen!See you Monday.
