The world has been in the long and steady process of falling apart ever since Eve sunk her teeth in that fruit (not that the weight of The Fall rests wholly on her – Adam did his part, too). I don’t know if it’s… Continue Reading “A Friend, Booger Island, and William Shakespeare”
Today my kids slept in. One, in fact, is still snoozing and it’s a little past nine. The only thing on the schedule for today is a trip to the library and we can make that happen whenever we get around to it. It’s… Continue Reading “Summer Wonderland”
This time next week will be the very first day of Summer Vacation! I’m just going to be completely honest here. I’m both excited and sad. My kids have had such a great year at school. They have wonderful teachers. We’ll miss the school… Continue Reading “Summer Reading — It’s Almost Here!”
It’s Friday. There’s only one week left before school is out for the summer. Sweet mercies do exist. This morning I’m blogging from my phone. Sorry for all the typos. But this is the only way I’m getting a blog done today. And the… Continue Reading “Double The Coffee Because I NEED It”
As a child I’d often climb up the creaking ladder to the stuffy old attic at my Grandma Riggs’s house. She had boxes of photos and treasures for me to dream over. This picture was one of them. That fellow in the blue? That’s… Continue Reading “My Memorial Day”
I don’t always pose for a selfie with food. But when I do, I make sure they’re ingredients for a Depression Era recipe. No, really. In case you didn’t get the memo, I have a novel releasing in October. The story is set in… Continue Reading “Selfies with the Stewed Tomatoes — Wait…What?”

But I needed the cash-o-la.… Continue Reading “To Be Yourself”
Sometimes, writing can be a lonesome life. I am not often lonely (starved for stimulation), but in the past, I often felt lonesome (isolated from like-minded souls). Any calling that, by definition, requires intense concentration, solitude and time submerged in another world, can make… Continue Reading “Why Writers Need to Stick Together — a guest post by Rachel E. Watson”
Have you ever watched birds? I mean really watched them? I don’t know why, but over the last year I’ve become distracted by birds. Maybe it’s because I’m getting older and the flashy, loud things don’t call to me as much anymore. I’m more intrigued… Continue Reading “Inspiring Wonder”
The last week or so I’ve been walking around in some kind of a daze. I have 3 deadlines (two of which were moved up by a good bit, but for good reasons). I’m editing, writing, preparing for 2 speaking engagements this weekend, blogging,… Continue Reading “Out of Order”
