Acclamation can lead to Inspiration
August 30, 2017 I write because I enjoy writing, especially when the muse flows. I love creating a story for two people who are looking for love. Weaving the words and developing the passion on each page. But it’s especially nice when a reader compliments my hard work. The other day I happened...
Paying it forward
August 4, 2017 I finished editing Persistent Intruder last night and woke up this morning with another story in mind. The heroine does one good deed every day. There is nothing more refreshing or rewarding than to pay it forward. When I first retired, I heard about a grandmother that put the...
Rainy Day Muse
July 31, 2017 Nothing like a rainy day to stimulate the muse. Makes me want to grab a glass of wine, settle back in the Florida room and watch mother nature at work. Appreciate the darkening skies and watch the birds flit from feeder to feeder for a quick meal. The trees sway, wind chimes tinkle...
Pickles
July 11, 2017 A couple weeks ago, we had a friend give us a five-gallon bucket of pickling cucumbers. My mother has been pickling for years and when I retired I decided to try it. Unlike the fourteen-day recipe that our friend uses, my mother’s recipe takes a day and a half. I started the first...

Our daughter, Heather, found Sheeba – yes, the same Sheeba in Dreams Fulfilled – and she stayed with us for nineteen years....
Thoughts of Summer
May 30, 2017 Summer is a time for enjoying lots of fresh vegetables and I thought I’d share one of my favorite salads and movies. Dig Deep Salad 1 head lettuce (shredded) 1 medium red onion (sliced thin) 1 green pepper (sliced) 3-4 ribs celery (chopped) 8 oz. water chestnuts (sliced) 10 oz. frozen...
Genealogy
May 30, 2017 In addition to writing, I enjoy doing genealogy research. The only problem is it’s addicting. After I retired, Ancestry became my closest friend. Then it was Family Heritage, Gini, Genealogy Bank and Family Search. I remember one day I got on the internet at seven in the morning and...
