That was the first question out of my granddaughter’s mouth as we started out hike this morning. I just knew this was going to be a wonderful outing.
My son and family, my daughter and her baby and I joined three other intrepid hikers this morning to scout for wild flowers […]

Welcome to the new look. As I said, it’s an interim thing, but I’m excited about the extra space and really like the idea of a Coming Attractions link (even though we couldn’t call it that because of space constraints–go figure.) Hope you’ll enjoy learning about upcoming books as they start to develop in my […]

We have a construction project underway at my house–water damage to the siding that my insurance company won’t cover. :evil::evil: Don’t get me started. In fact, I’m starting the search for a new company. If I’m going to have deplorable coverage, I might as well be paying less for it, right? Anybody have an insurance […]

My web guru Bekke is doing a sort of ‘interim tweaking’ of my website. I wanted a major overhaul, but the timing isn’t right for either of us, so we’ve compromised.
My question is: am I missing any really important content or features that you as readers enjoy on other websites?
I have four gorgeous […]

Then, the God of Spring winked and invited his friend the […]

Hi, all,
Just wanted to wish you a Happy Easter. Our friendly neighborhood Easter turkey was gobbling outside my window at 6:30 this morning. Maybe that’s why they went with bunnies as the holiday symbol — they’re quieter.
My pal Barbs passed along this interesting fact sheet explaining why Easter is so early this year. […]

Okay, so that was a bit of a leap, but I’m so happy about both of these things I just had to shout it out.
Yesterday hubby and I drove to the big city of Fresno to pick up our pricey new potty — a Toto. A queenly throne, I’m told. We also bought […]

Top o’ the afternoon to you. Hope everyone is having a lovely St. Patrick’s Day. Mine is sunny and bright and I’m not getting any writing done, darn it. Must be the leprechans messing with my attention span. And three wee lassies dropped by this morning. Here’s a shot of one. The others were camera […]

I just got the official version of my May cover of BABY BY CONTRACT. I think it’s rather sweet and pretty. Let me know what you think and I’ll draw the name of one the responders to recieve a little Mount Rushmore refrigerator magnet.

(Insider info: the federal-looking building in the background is […]
