I'm sitting at my kitchen table, and the window in here is open. I'm listening to the rain and wondering why March isn't going out like a lamb. It came in like a lion and appears to be going out the same way. Reminds me of a song I once heard that said, "I didn't… Continue reading A Long Awaited Update

Don’t Faint, Pray
I didn’t want to get out of bed this morning. After pulling on my jeans, teeshirt and houseshoes, I poured a cup of coffee, wrapped up in a blanket on the couch and wished I could just read all day. “I don’t want to adult today,” I told the cat. He just crawled up onto… Continue reading Don’t Faint, Pray

All of them are basically saying the same thing; they want to… Continue reading Corona Scare: My 2 Cents Worth
January Update
Tomorrow it will be two weeks into the new year, and I’m still writing 2019. Do you all do that? I guess old habits are hard to break, even though writing 2020 is much easier. Have you all read any good books so far this year? I read “The Way of the Brave” by Susan… Continue reading January Update
