Thoughts on Bruneau Dunes
Hubby and I took our new used motorhome out for a trial run. We plan to spend five months in it so we wanted to make sure everything is in working order before we head out. Our first camping trip took us to Bruneau Dunes State Park. It’s a lovely place with giant sand dunes […]
Thoughts on Turning 60
I passed a big milestone this past week. I turned 60. Yes, the big six zero. The decade of more aches, pains, Social Security (if it’s still there), Medicare (same comment), and eccentricity. I’ve been dabbling in that last one more and more as I got nearer this age. Now that I’ve reached “maturity,” I […]
Thoughts on Old Friends
Old friends are some of my greatest blessings. When I refer to “old friends,” I’m not talking about their ages. I’m talking about how long we’ve known each other. Old friends are those who I’ve known since childhood. Long-term friendships are amazing because the relationships get sweeter as the years go by. The best part […]
Thoughts on Being a Judgmental Fool
I am writing a book about my life. I have one chapter on the occasions when I found myself to be judgmental fool and the life lessons I learned when I realized what I’d done. I submitted the following to a writing contest and I won the category for best Bible Study writing. “For if […]

I’ve been hard at work this past week. I pieced together a quilt top and got it to the quilting place. It should be done in time to use on our summer sojourn. When I retired, my co-workers gave me a very nice gift certificate to my favorite quilt store. I got two of the […]
Thoughts on the Election
When it comes to elections, I appreciate the right to vote and exercise that right as often as I can. I’m registered as an independent voter because I don’t like any of the parties and don’t want to be affiliated with one. I vote in almost every election, even in local elections where no one […]
Thoughts on Running Out of Time
I feel so stressed right now. My next novel is going more slowly than I hoped and may not be released in May like I wanted. I keep pausing to do other little things that keep popping up. Individually they don’t take much time to complete, but all together, it’s taken a lot of my […]
Thoughts on Why I Write
For the past three weeks, I’ve written about how I write, why I write what I write, and what I read. This week I’d like to tell you why I write each day and why I think it’s such a passion for me. Since I was a girl, I’ve had a lively imagination. When I […]
