It Can’t Be Thursday Already!
Can it? :)Very much looking forward to this weekend's family reunion. There will definitely be stories to tell.I worked yesterday, and enjoyed it immensely. Bought some yellow long stemmed roses at the grocery store, just because they're beautiful. That color! Anyway,...
Blogging On
The weather is lovely today--even as I write this, the Canadian Wrangler is out mowing my lawn. 🙂 Don't you just love the smell of fresh-cut grass?The new office is working out very, very well. There are no distractions, even though the former dining room is in the...
There’s a Lot to Love About Tuesday
Here are some things I love about the second day of the work week:1. "That's Clever" records on my Tivo. 🙂 There are SO not enough arts and craft shows on TV. Now that Carol Duvall is gone, it's a pretty barren landscape. What's that about, DIY and HGTV? There are...
Willow Etc.
Tomorrow, one of my early books, "Willow", comes out with a new cover and some updating and revision. It's essentially the same story, but longer and more in depth.On the home front, I'm learning to take my blood pressure every morning. And I'm a wimp--it hurts....
Beautiful Friday
More sunshine! Yes!Today the new office I told you about yesterday will be outfitted with a desk and chair. Starting Monday, I'll be writing in the former dining room. It has a window looking out toward the pasture, but the main reason I like it is because it is both...
Thursday? Already????
Time flies when you're having fun. And I am definitely having fun writing "Creed's Honor", which is book 2 in the 2011 trilogy. I haven't had much extra time for art, because by the time I finish, I'm pretty much worn out--but happy.Sadie is snoozing away beside me,...
I’m Really Rolling!
This new book is SO much fun to write. I can hardly wait to get to my computer, and it's hard to tear myself away when I'm finished. That's the way I like it. :)The weather has been all over the map lately--this morning we have another lovely blast of sunshine. By...
Sunshine!
This Tuesday is off to a beautiful, sun-splashed start. This is the kind of weather that makes me LOVE the autumn season. I won't rhapsodize, having already done so in a previous blog, but suffice it to say, I feel almost festive today. I'm eager to get back to...
Hello, Monday Morning
We're having another overcast day here in Spokane, but I don't mind. It's the kind of day when one might put a pot of split pea soup on the stove, light the fireplace, and give thanks for warmth and shelter and plenty (often too much) to eat. The dogs are snoozing,...
Friday Again?
I started the new book yesterday! YES. "Creed's Honor" is underway, and I will be forging on.There was a blog clog yesterday--between the excitement of starting another story and a fairly routine doctor's appointment, I just plain spaced it out. I'm having a ball...
Hair Emergency Handled
As I've mentioned, this is a catch-up week for me. I'm doing a lot of things I put off while I was finishing the book. Yesterday, I wrote up a quite extensive outline for Book 2, "Creed's Honor", and sent it off to my beloved editor, and then headed for the hair...
Another Beautiful Day
Fall has always been my favorite season, at least here in my home state of Washington. There aren't many leafy trees on the "ranch"--in my mind, 30 acres isn't a ranch--but the drive to Northport, around endless curves in the mighty Columbia River, is breathtaking...
