Today while I was walking I got to thinking about how I remember odd moments in my life. I’m sure you do too. Of course we all have those universal moments we remember. Moments of tragedy or world changing events so intense that we remember exactly what we were doing when we got the news. The bombing of Pearl Harbor. …
Who to Thank?
~~This is a picture of my mom and my youngest grandbaby and her youngest great grandbaby. ~~I wrote an author’s note for one of my upcoming books thanking the people who had helped make the book possible. I never know for sure who I should thank first. My editor? My agent? My publisher? ~~Then I realized that person – the …

A Story Web
–I’ve been thinking about writing about how a story can be an intricate web like a spider web for a few weeks now, but I wanted a picture of a spider web to go with it. I went out to the free photo files on the internet. There were some great spider web shots on those sites and it said …
Connecting with Friends
How do you connect with friends these days? Do you call them up on the phone, text message them on your cell phone, write an old-fashioned snail mail letter or a modern e-mail? Do you go out on the web searching for old friends on Facebook? Maybe you tweet for friends? Ten years ago if you’d said you tweet for …
A Book by Any Other Name – Titles

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 …
Sleeping in a Barn – Almost
Well, it’s not as big as barn, but it is pretty airy. My in-the-process-of-being-remodeled house, that is. I’ve got holes in the wall, remember. Big holes. And a new basement garage door that isn’t hooked up to the electricity and won’t stay down without a plank holding it there. And a new heat pump that is saving me big bucks …

Christmas Memories on the First Day of Winter
Man, is it cold outside tonight in Kentucky!! We don’t have snow like so many of you do west and north of us, but we’ve got some wind chills. Back when I was a kid, you looked at the thermometer and said it was such and such degree. If the wind was blowing you knew that made it colder, but …
