For me, Thanksgiving rolls around 365 days a year. (OK, sometimes I have to adjust my attitude, but, hey, I'm all too human.)I'm grateful for the obvious: God's love, being born and raised in a free and still wonderful country, my family, friends, and beloved pets. My...

Snow! It's beautiful, it's several inches deep, and it's still coming down. Good thing I already bought the turkey. :)We saw a cow and bull moose passing the fence yesterday, a lovely sight in the snow. These animals are truly magnificent, though I certainly wouldn't...

The stuff is coming down in earnest now, and it's beautiful. Easy for me to say, I know, because I don't have to go anywhere. Sadie may be having a snow-day today--depends on how her "driver", Jen, feels about the state of the roads.The weekend was a restful one for...

It's always Friday, it seems to me. Time just flies by these days.We have a thin layer of snow on the ground here, the crunchy kind. The dogs and cats are still rather puzzled by it--I guess they don't remember the winter of 08. :)I'll be continuing with CHAPTER ONE...

Spokane got the long-promised snow during the night. As I write this, sunrise is still forty minutes away--yes, I got enough sleep, Mom--but it's pretty. Of course I might not admire it so much if I had to commute. 🙂 I'm determined--whatever the weather brings, I'm...

When you've made other plans. :)I certainly hadn't planned on finding black mold in the basement store room, but there it is. Fortunately, it hasn't spread, and there are people coming in to deal with it. One of those jobs I'm glad somebody wants to do, because I sure...

What a concept. Thanks to my new machine, I'm actually getting oxygen through the night, and I have more energy every day! Hallelujah, brothers and sisters.Working today, another reason to shout "Yeehaw!"In fact, I think I'll make this short and get to work.:)

Never get me down. 🙂 (As long as I decide in advance not to let them.)I'm so excited, because I'll be gearing up to start writing "Creed's Legacy" today, and I can't wait to get started. Brody Creed is the original bad-a*& cowboy, and he's about to be roped in,...

I get my "sleep machine" today. Am I thrilled? No, but I'm grateful. And I'm hopeful, too--friends tell me I'll see a night/day difference in my energy levels, etc. Like the d.i.e.t., I will not be saying a whole lot about this, for fear of boring you out of your...

A moment that shines in my memory happened at the National Finals Rodeo, on December 7, 2008, during which the opening ceremony is traditionally bang-up magnificent, honoring those who served at and after Pearl Harbor. Lee Greenwood sang "God Bless the USA", and all...

Today I'll be putting the finishing touches on "Creed's Honor", my latest book. "Creed's Legacy", of course, is waiting in the wings, ready to go. It's always exciting to complete a book, and it's equally exciting to start a new one. :)I took yesterday off and did...

I'm soaking it up!I'm always working hard and fast to finish "Creed's Honor", and that's where my focus is these days, for sure. I'll be back to the blog by Monday morning, at the latest--earlier if I have something to report. :)Be blessed.
