Thoughts on Writing Books
As you may know, the past couple of weeks have been unusual (read my previous blog to understand more) and my writing time has been limited to during naptimes and after bedtimes. In spite of the limited time, I finished the first draft of my second novel and have made really good progress on the […]
Thoughts on Grandsons
It was an exciting week. My grandmotherdom grew by one. I have another grandson, bringing my total grandchild count to two. That’s likely the highest it will go and considering that at one point in time, I thought I’d never have any at all, I am very happy about having two grandsons. They bring a […]
Thoughts on International Travel
I lived a long time without every stepping foot outside the United States, other than a mile or two across the Mexican border back in the days when drug cartels didn’t control everything. I wanted to go to Egypt and the Middle East to see the ruins of towns I’d read about in the Bible. […]

New Thoughts on Retirement

Thoughts on Hosting Family
We live a long ways from our families so we when we have the rare opportunity to host family members, it’s a thrill! I even break out the apron and plan meals to cook. I don’t do that when it’s just Hubby and I. Our meal planning usually consists of, “What do you want for […]
Thoughts on Traveling Through History
Back home again. After almost four weeks of travel, it was good to get back into my own home. My half-way neat home turned into a storage area until we got all the bags, boxes, and sacks put away, all while wondering how we ended up at home with so much stuff. It seemed to […]
