Thoughts on Class Reunions
We left the beautiful Black Hills to move on to the Missouri River breaks of Pierre and Fort Pierre. We’re at a state-run campground that sits along the river below Oahe Dam. It’s beautiful here too, with the water and trees. Since this is Labor Day weekend, the place is full and families and kids […]
More Thoughts on Campground Observations
Campground life is interesting to watch. You see people at play and at leisure, meaning they are usually happy people. There’s an occasional outburst when the tent isn’t going up as it should or wives aren’t spotting their husbands as they back up trailers like the husband think they should. But once settled in, most […]
Thoughts on Campground Observations
Hubby spends much of our campground time out hiking and biking. Since I’m not the outdoor enthusiast he is, I stick around the motorhome and write or go for walks (no high mileage trekking for me!). I’ve made several observations as I sit in the campground minding my own business. Some people have difficulties backing […]
Thoughts on Medical Workers
This past week, my mother-in-law (MIL) was in the hospital for emergency surgery. She’s still in the hospital, but is doing well. She’ll be moving to rehab very soon. Thanks for all your prayers. The experience in the emergency room and ICU left me grateful for those people who are doctors and nurses. The level […]
Thoughts on the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally
This weekend, the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally officially began. It’s a massive gathering of those who love motorcycles, mainly Harleys, in the Black Hills of South Dakota. When we lived here, I tried to leave the state during the first week of August to avoid the hundreds of thousands of bikers. Our schedule this year has […]
Thoughts on our Summer 2016 So Far
We’re more than halfway through our summer sojourn this year. I spent six weeks in Texas, South Dakota, and Arkansas for the first part. I attended the West Texas Writers Academy which is one of the highlights of my summer. I’ve made so many friends with other authors whose work I admire and received a […]
Thoughts on Good People
After all the trouble in the America, I wonder where all the good people are. Why don’t they stand up and demand to take the country back? Why don’t they protest against those who seek to destroy our way of life? Protest against those who hate? The answer is fairly easy. Good people are too […]
Thoughts on Obeying the Law
I’m having a really hard time understanding the few people of America who have declared war on American police. Granted, there have been a hand full of shootings of Black youth/young men by the police. I’m not addressing those events here. I’m talking about the ambushes of policemen and policewomen who are doing their jobs, […]
