Thoughts on Being Alone
Hubby was gone this past week, meaning I got to enjoy some alone-time. I love time being with just myself. Not that I want to be alone all the time. I’ve been married for more than 40 years, and I enjoy having Hubby around. I hope he’ll be around for a long time. But sometimes […]
More Thoughts on Elementary Teachers
Last week I told you about some of my elementary teachers. They were all special women and I’m so glad I was in their classes. This week, here are the rest of my elementary school teachers to whom I owe special thanks. I loved my fourth grade teacher, Mrs. Kilcrease, the most. She influenced me […]
Thoughts on Elementary Teachers
Do you remember your elementary school teachers? I do. I remember them all and everything they taught me. Well, maybe not EVERYthing, but the big stuff. And maybe not all of their names, but I remember their faces. My first first grade teacher was Mrs. Odom. She wrote four-line poems on the board every morning […]

A real honest-to-goodness cowboy. He worked cattle all day long and was literally bowlegged from riding horses his whole life. He was an interesting man. […]
Thoughts on Time

Thoughts on the Writing Process
This past week, I received the book proofs of my first nonfiction book. I sent it out to my team to review and comment on. I couldn’t do go on without their help and advice so a big thanks to Aunt Nette, Julie, and Andrea for volunteering to help me out. This new book is […]
Thoughts on the Weird Wacky Winter
This week, I stretched my poetry skills. I hope it will give you a chuckle. I’m tired of snow, in the air and on the ground. I can’t get away from it, it’s all around. It comes and comes, it won’t ever stop, Inches upon inches upon inches on top. It stays and stays and […]
