More Fog
It's like 19th century London in this city, but cleaner. 🙂 My mother reports catching a glimpse of the hem of a black cloak vanishing around the corner. (We are a fanciful bunch in my family.)My sister Sally commented on the Lincoln blog--she said she could picture...
What a Coincidence….
My sister Sally's exact words, after reading yesterday's blog. Turns out that she too is a winner in the Irish Lottery. What are the chances? ??? 🙂 Especially when we didn't even buy a ticket. At least the Nigerians have given up trying to get me to let them transfer...
What a World
As I emptied my junk mail folder a few minutes after logging on this morning and checking my email--watching various once-in-a-lifetime offers jiggle slightly and then fall away into cyberspace--I noticed in passing that I had won the Irish Lottery! Along with this...
February 12
This is the birthday of one of the people I admire most in all of time and eternity--Abraham Lincoln. If I could meet anyone, from any time in history, after Jesus, I would choose Old Abe.Abe was a man of humor, commitment, and incredible intelligence.A man of honor,...
Hair Yesterday, Hair Today, Hair Tomorrow
I'm postponing my appointment for a color and a cut to work on the new chapter. My hair, while definitely not fabulous, is...passable. (And let's face it, it's never really fabulous.)With "Tate", the good news just keeps on coming. Last week it was #5 on the New York...
Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
Don't be alarmed. 🙂 I'm only referring to tomorrow's appointment for a haircut and a touch-up. (Plus, it's early and I'm only on my first cup of coffee.)It's been crazy around here--nothing new in that. I'm writing like a mad woman and loving every minute of it, and...
Good-Bye, Pernell Roberts
Mom sent me the obit last week--Pernell Roberts, of "Bonanza" has passed on. The last of the Cartwright clan, laid to rest. Whenever somebody dies--an old boyfriend or an actor I loved--Mom puts the clipping in the mail.I've been so busy with "Austin" that I've barely...
1100
It's hard to believe, but this is my eleven hundredth blog post. Amazing.The draw and the pasture are white with fog, the East Coast is in the grip of a blizzard, and the Saints won the SuperBowl. That's the news from Linda's kitchen table. :)I am SO into writing...
Cozy Day
We're enjoying (yes, enjoying) a rainy Friday morning here in Spokane. It's a light the fire, put on a kettle of soup kind of day. Even better, it's a writing day--the very best kind of day there is. I am so into "Austin", I can hardly wait to have my breakfast, get...
Yee-Haw AGAIN!
"Tate" is #5 on the New York Times bestseller list and #2 on the USA Today list!YES!!Writing this book was such a challenge; there were times, as many of you will recall, when I thought I'd never be done with it. It's so gratifying to see "my boy" Tate out there...
Catching My Breath
Three radio interviews this morning, and the first one was at 5:30. I enjoyed them all, since I'm a real ham, but I figure the folks in Blue River are starting to wonder where I am.When I last saw Paige Remington and Austin McKettrick, they were standing toe to toe in...
Ground Hog Day
Six more weeks of winter? Well, there you go. The rodent has spoken--and there's no way I'm going to attempt to spell his name. 🙂 I hesitate to tempt fate, but so far we've enjoyed a mild winter here in Spokane--in January, there were a number of sunny days, pretty...
