Heartwarming Small-Town Romances and Thrilling Mysteries

Stepping Out

Recently, Hubby and I did something we rarely do. We went out at night. We don’t do that much since neither of us feels comfortable about driving around at night. Too many critters waiting to jump in front of our truck and crazy drivers going too fast makes us prefer quiet nights at home. We […]

Old Dogs Still Learning

That old adage about how you can’t teach an old dog new tricks has no place in today’s world. This old dog has spent two weeks trying to learn how to navigate through a new platform for releasing books. It’s different than Amazon’s book site, and it took me a while to get all the […]

Our 50th Reunion

The Bayfield High School class of 1974 had its reunion a week ago. I feel old in saying it, but I was part of that class. There was 39 of us, and we all knew each other and everybody else in high school and even a bunch in junior high and grade school. For that […]

Girl Time

Twice this past week, I went out to eat with friends. Nothing goes together better than food, friends, good conversation, and laughter. I call it my girl time, and it refreshes me. Wherever we live, I always hope I can find a friend to go out to lunch with and have a good time. I […]

Blog Post Number 456

Getting Past the Obstacles

I bought a jar of pickles this past week. It remains unopened because no one in this house can open it. I’m not sure what to do now. Should I take it to church and see if anyone there can open it? Should I visit a neighbor (I know none of them) and see if […]

Fatigue

I’m tired! I’m over Covid, so it’s not related to that. I attribute it to the several days spent visiting my parents which is stressful. It’s not their fault…not completely. Let’s just say we don’t see eye to eye about their plans or as I see it, the lack of them. Their physical situation is […]

Time for Screening

Everyone should use sunscreen on all exposed skin and a hat for the skin under your hair. Trust me; you’ll regret it if you don’t. I spent my youth laying in the sun, getting blistering sunburns on multiple occasions. I even went skiing on a sunny day with my face bare in the sun and […]
