I have been gone longer than I intended. The time away was spent regrouping, filling in some places in my novel manuscript that I felt were lacking on “color.” Soul searching and recharging have been important, also. In the meantime, as the old saying goes, “life happens.” Our family has had plenty of “life” happening … Continue reading Bringing You Up to Date

Out of Pocket
I have had a lot of "irons in the fire," so I've been out of pocket lately. I won't go into all of it, but some of it has to do with my writing, and some does not. There will be some changes in my blog in the future, but all of that is not … Continue reading Out of Pocket
Flowers Today
I took you some flowers today; Only you weren’t there. I knew you wouldn’t be, But I took them in your memory. It’s been twenty-five years Since you were welcomed in Heaven. I can still see your beautiful face And feel your warmth in my arms – Not in the way I had anticipated, But … Continue reading Flowers Today
Catching Up and Making Changes
I didn’t realize it’s been so long since I’ve written a blog post until I looked at the last date a minute ago. My, how time flies. These past few weeks, I’ve been making some changes in the novel I wrote last November while taking part in National Novel Writing Month. The final title will … Continue reading Catching Up and Making Changes

I’d like to just stay put and not think about much of anything. I catch myself saying over and over, … Continue reading Balm for Hurtful Times
I Survived NaNoWriMo!
Now that I have had a chance to catch my breath from being in a somewhat disciplined frenzy last month, I’ve had some time to digest so much that I got from that experience. I learned so much from participating. I have to say that jumping into the experience must be much like diving off … Continue reading I Survived NaNoWriMo!
Scars, Fruit, and What Happens In The Process
I’m continuing part of the subject of my last post. Mostly the part about pears. We were getting a picture of the pears in the old bushel basket, first turning the top pears over if they had a scar or bruise on them. Later when I was talking to Mama and Daddy about it, she … Continue reading Scars, Fruit, and What Happens In The Process
One Of Those Things I Cherish
I got some more of that news that just “tickles me pink,” as the saying goes. On one of those calls just to visit on the phone with my parents, I asked if there were any pears. Daddy had said before that there weren’t going to be as many pears this Fall. So I thought … Continue reading One Of Those Things I Cherish
