No, I’m not giving my hubby or mother a hard time. They aren’t the babies at our house. The babies I’m talking about are our kitties. Since I’m traveling this week, I thought I’d just share a short and simple look at our house.With our beloved collie gone, we have put off getting another dog until spring and the kitties …
Thanks you Veterans
I just want to take this day to thank Veterans for what they’ve done for us. In fact, I want to give a special shout out to my uncle Paul who served on a B-17 during World War II. You can see his picture below. Veterans Day was yesterday, but frankly I think we need to doff our caps to …
Never Say Never
You know how they say you should “Never say never?” Well…generally I would agree with that, but there are some things that I think I can say, “I will never….” For instance: Gold Lame’ I can pretty confidently say I will never buy gold lame’ clothing – at least not willingly. And how about a boar’s head. Nope – not …
Keeping Up
Sorry for missing my blog last week. I was swamped and totally forgot until it was well into the day. Hopefully, that won’t happen again. I had a great time at the Women’s Event at the 1st Alliance Church in Great Falls, MT and wanted to share a little bit with you. There were about 80 people in attendance. The …
New Series – New Book
Yes, EMBERS OF LOVE is finally available. This new book in the STRIKING A MATCH series is #1 of three books that will come out over the next year. I had such a great time researching this series. Set in the late 1800’s East Texas, this series deals with the yellow pine logging industry. While in Texas we did research …
All In The Family
No, not the television show. I came across some family notes as I was cleaning out a desk drawer the other day. My cousin keeps a genealogy and while I’ve never had too much time for such things, I cherish the information given me by others. You see, my situation is kind of strange. I have information about my mother’s …
Busy Busy
Sorry to have been absent, but I’ve been busy! Last week I had book signings in Columbus and Greenwood, IN and then Jim (my hubby of nearly 31 years) and I taught basic writing at a conference in Indianapolis at the national American Christian Fiction Writers conference. We had such a great time. Above, I am at one of the booksignings …
Olympic National Park
I love national parks and Olympic National Park was no exception. We have been blessed to have wise forefathers who set aside land for national parks. If you get a chance to visit the Olympic Peninsula of Washington state, I highly recommend it. With Judy Miller, Cathy Hake and our dear friend Merrill DeGroot in tow, I found myself so …
Sitka Revisited
One of the biggest blessings I have as an author is in visiting the places where I set the books. Sitka is one of those places I would gladly go on writing about, if I found the right stories to tell. Jim and I taught a mini writer’s conference while there and the turn out was so great. The people …
End of the Road
So in Sitka, AK there aren’t that many roads, but the main north-south road has about 7 miles of road each way and 500 ft. before the end of said road – you get the above sign. Didn’t mean to skip my blog today – in fact, I had fully intended to share additional Sitka stuff. However, I hit the …
