Mama in Panic Mode
That was me, when I turned on the news this morning and saw the dreadful images of the destruction in Japan. The loss of life there is absolutely staggering, and that was bad enough, but then the newscaster said there would be tsunamis hitting the West...

Sunshine and Snow
I swear, when I got up this morning, the sun was shining. Now, just a few hours later, it's snowing--hard. Oh, boy, will I be happy to see those first daffodils and crocuses breaking ground. :)I wrote yesterday, played around with some ATC background techniques from...
It’s a Beautiful Morning
Think I'll go outside for a while...:) We have sunshine, at least at the moment. And I'm loving it.I spent a restful weekend, watching "Brothers & Sisters" on the iPad, via Netflix, reading a little, listening to Jodi Picoult's new book, "Sing You Home", and doing...
Celebrating
Yesterday, my family surprised me with cupcakes, a huge greeting card, a tiara and a blue ribbon to tape to my shirt, all in celebration of my #1 placement on the New York Times bestseller list. Irene Goodman and her husband, Alex, sent a single rose, dipped in 24...

Shepherd’s Pie & Other Random Stuff
Yesterday I made slow-cooker Shepherd's Pie, from my big cookbook, and it was de-lic-ious! I make notes in the margins when I try a new recipe, with the date and what I thought of the dish. Maybe someday one of my descendents will have the book and find my...
It’s the Lion!
March has decided to come in like a lion--let's hope it goes out like a lamb. Snow is coming down like crazy, and it's definitely beautiful. Should keep me in the mood for writing the new book, which is a Christmas story. :)It's a cozy, stay at home and write day....
Stormy Weather
Ain't no sun up in the sky....:) We're getting snow and big winds--will March (hey, universe, it starts tomorrow) come in like a lion and go out like a lamb? Or vice versa? This has been an amazing winter. 🙂 Now, for an amazing spring.Please?OK, that's my quota of...
Life in the Great Northwest
Today we have several inches of glittering snow, sunshine and a sky so blue it makes your heart catch to look at it. We get a little break from the snow, I guess, but the weather man is throwing the term 'arctic blast' around a lot, so we're not out of the proverbial...
