Not a happy Sunday. My big old chocolate lab is missing from the farm. A little neighbor dog came courting and although Dub is supposed to be neutered, he still gets interested in the females when they come calling and he must have gone off with her. I had planned to put him up before that happened, but I was …
Something New
Hi, everybody. I jumped feet first into the electronic social pool this week and joined up with Facebook and Goodreads. I’d been talking about doing Facebook for months but had to meet that July 1 deadline first. Once the new book was off, I had to carry through on my resolve to put a presence out there on Facebook. I …
A Book by Any Other Name – Titles
Another Sunday. A hot one here in Kentucky. Humidity level is at that point where if you walk outside you get real humid and start sweating before you take two steps. I’m one of those people who isn’t all that fond of refrigerator air all summer, but it doesn’t feel half bad this week. I used to work at an …
A New Book Calls for a New Giveaway
Hi, everybody. Hope you’re having a great week. It’s hot here, but the sun is shining. That’s good after rain and more rain last week. Darrell finally got up some hay and now with sunshine in the offing, his mower is broken. That’s a farmer’s life. When I was a kid, my dad mowed hay with a sickle mower and …
Good Times with Dad
Happy Fathers’ Day to all you dads and all of you who have a dad. I hope if your father is still living you were able to give him a hug this weekend either in person or via telephone or some electronic means. And those of you like me who don’t have your father here with you anymore, I hope …
Off into the Sunset – Finally
The End. Finis. Th-th-that’s all, folks. Over and done. That’s all she wrote, dear John. Enough’s enough. Cut, print. That’s a take. Finished. Complete. Ended. Riding off into the sunset. The fat lady’s singing because it’s over. The credit’s are running. Close the book on that one. And so we have come to the end of the story. Guess you’ve …
The Dancing Room
Another Sunday. Another day to enjoy life. I had a lot of life to enjoy around here on Saturday with both sets of grandbabies (nine of them, but sometimes it seems like a dozen or more) here to give the new room a test run. Since I don’t have any new furniture and only an entertainment center and side table …
Searching for the Elusive Ending
Still not quite there. Still haven’t quite found those two important words to every writer. Maybe to any person with a job to do or a task to complete. The End. I need to be able to say I ended some housecleaning chores. But right now all I can say is it will have to wait until July. You know …
Gardening for the Brain
The tea at Clear Creek was great. And I found out the church is way over 200 years old. It was established in 1785. Wow! And it is a beautiful church with beautiful people. My talk wasn’t as good as I’d hoped it would be. I can never decide whether more practice is better or less practice is better. Sometimes …
What to say? What to say?
I am giving a talk this Saturday to a bunch of delightful ladies at a tea. I haven’t actually met but two or three of them, but I’m sure if they’re coming to a tea they’ll be delightful. It sounds like a fun thing to do. At least the tea part. I don’t know about the listening to me part. …
