I love it. Just the snores of the beagle snoozing on her bed here in the kitchen--not even the birds are awake yet, it seems. I could get used to this. :)I do have a little guilt where this no-news diet is concerned: I don't want to hide my head in the sand, pretend...

I think I'm onto something here, gang. I loved yesterday's news-free policy so much that I decided to try it again today. Okay, you can't avoid it entirely. I did see, when I logged on to this laptop, that Elizabeth Taylor had died. She was a beautiful woman, and...

Sitting here at my kitchen table, all I hear is the chirping of birds, along with the entirely normal sound of Sadie-beagle snoring on her dog bed nearby. Most days, there would be voices--from the TV. I usually switch on the morning news as soon as the first cup of...

I didn't spend the whole weekend at home--I went to KHQ-TV early Saturday morning to appear on a local program. As always, it was fun. All that getting ready (not to mention getting up early) for a minute and a half of air-time 🙂 Because I have a horror of being late...

That's what time seems to do these days. 🙂 Case in point? It's already Friday--again!I did find a green shirt to wear yesterday, you'll all be glad to know, so nobody pinched me, and had a lovely time with my friend, Jean Barrington, whom I've known since forever....

Well, it's St. Patrick's Day, and I'm racking my brain. Surely there is something green in my wardrobe. And shouldn't I be planning an Irish dish for supper? Corned beef and cabbage, perhaps? Instead, I'm meeting a long-time friend at a Mexican restaurant I've been...

It's gorgeous out this morning--the sun is shining and the sky is a heartbreaking shade of blue. Cha Cha kitty has been eating the pink tulips I received during my visit to Medical Lake's public library on Monday. It gives them a lovely, frilled look. 🙂 I got in a...

Here in Spokane, on this the Ides of March, we are blessed with rain. 🙂 The flowers and all growing things need water to grow and thrive, and I'm painting a giant sunflower, in very bright colors, to remind myself of that. When this mixed media picture is finished,...

But all those poor people in Japan. It's heartbreaking. Lots of prayers going up from here.Friend Robyn Carr reports she was on Maui when the wave-alerts began. Everyone in her hotel was moved to an upper floor, but so far, so good. "A Creed in Stone Creek" continues...
