Thoughts on our House
In a few days, I’ll have my 10th anniversary of living in Boise. I moved here sight unseen for a new and exciting job. Initially, I thought I’d only be here few years before returning to the Black Hills. The job turned out to be the best ever, and Boise is a great little city. […]
More Thoughts on Getting Old
Hubby and I spent all of last week feeling how old we are. Our son needed help with a remodel project, and invited us to come help out. Hubby worked with Son while I babysat the two active grandsons. Seemed like a good deal. I’m a mother. I’ve taken care of two kids before. It […]
Thoughts on Getting Old
They say the first thing that goes when you age is memory. At least, I think I heard it. Or maybe I made it up. I can’t remember for sure. Anyway, Hubby and I are living proof that it’s true, no matter where it came from. We keep each other entertained more and more by […]

This covers reviews on Amazon, GoodReads, and any website where book reviews are given. Amazon uses an algorithm uses books sales and reviews to rank its books. The more books you sell, […]
Thoughts on My Team
I love writing books. For decades, I dreamed of writing, but never took the time. I was too busy doing other things. Now that I’ve fulfilled a dream, I feel like I’ve finally, after six decades, found out what I’m supposed to be. It’s made me very happy. I’ve taken a lot of classes to […]
Thoughts on Sunburns
Now that summer is approaching and the days are longer, I’m thinking more about sun exposure. We spent the weekend outside and I forgot to put on sunscreen. I had long sleeves and jeans on so at least I didn’t get sun on my arms or legs. I come from a long line of skin […]
Thoughts on Being a Role Model
I had a visit with someone on Saturday. I met this girl, Liz, when she was in fourth grade. I was part of a program at work called Lunch Buddies. Once a month, we spent lunchtime at an elementary school that had a high percentage of poverty-level students and immigrant children. We were paired with […]
