It's Friday. We made it through again, gang. For me it was a wonderful, creative week, though I was certainly saddened by the death of Elizabeth Edwards.I completed another chapter yesterday--as I've said, this book is emotionally challenging for me, the challenge...

I can't help it. I'm in love with a storybook cowboy. Writing this book is an experience--the emotions are intense and that makes me want to shy away sometimes, while pulling me in at the same time. Alas, Brody only has eyes for Carolyn Simmons, the heroine of "The...

I didn't know this amazing woman personally, but I admired her so much. What courage, what class, what strength. What dignity. Ms. Edwards set a sterling example for all of us.I believe, like she did, that we are reunited with friends and loved ones on the other side...

Right now, the book is pretty much all I'm thinking about.I promise a better blog tomorrow.Stay warm and safe and be kind to each other.We're all we've got.

Still coming down, though only in flurries now.On to Chapter 2 today--YES!!I just had to get out of the house for a little while yesterday, so Jenni drove me out to Hobby Lobby for a change of scene. 🙂 I still got my work done, I'm happy to say--I do get cabin fever...

Here's what I'm wondering. 🙂 Is the whole winter going to be like this? 🙂 If the present snowstorm produces four inches, we will have broken a record for November. In fact, according to Sam Champion on GMA, we'll have had more snow in this one month than all of last...

Well, the hype is here--officially.Black Friday. Pre-Black Friday. And now, Cyber Monday.For Pete's sake.I guess I'm old-fashioned (okay, I KNOW I'm old-fashioned), but I miss the days when Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's were separate and distinct....
