Getting Out and Going
I’ve been back at school the past couple of weekends. First was the Wyoming Writers Conference in Casper, Wyoming last weekend and Wild Deadwood Reads this weekend. One thing is for sure: I’m tired of sitting on conference room chairs! Both events were marvelous. The speakers were good and inspiring. I made new writer friends […]
A Life of Many Experiences
In the past few weeks, I’ve reflected on all the many experiences and many travels I’ve had in my lifetime. How lucky I am! It has been fulfilling and varied, and I’ve seen so many places and things I never dreamed I would. I’m thankful for all of them and for Hubby who orchestrated most […]
Burning Up the Road Again
It seems Hubby and I cannot stay home for any length of time. We got back from our winter quarters, and a week later, we’re headed east to visit South Dakota State University. This trip had a purpose other geocaching although Hubby did that too. We took the time to meet with Hubby’s high school […]
Back to Our Northern Home
After a slight delay in our plans, Hubby and I finally reached our summer home. At this point in time, it may become our year-round home since our winter home is being put on the market (great house for those looking for a place in Amarillo!). For me, it’s comforting to be in my own […]
The End of Winter Four
Remember when John Lennon said, “Life is what happens when you’re busy making plans”? Hubby and I made plans to be home this weekend. I’d reserved a table at a spring craft fair on Saturday, but life interfered. Other duties took precedence. I have no animosity about it. It just happened that way. We will […]
Extremes
In one week, I’ve gone from one extreme to another. Hubby and I joined both our children and grandsons in Washington state for a family weekend. We arrived in rain that continued for two days. A steady rain fell over a large area of the Pacific Northwest and left the streams and rivers trying to […]
A Trip Back
Hubby and I traveled to Baird to see my folks for a couple of days. We’d seen them at Christmas when our daughter and son-in-law met us there. We’d cooked a couple of big meals and had a fun time visiting and such. Seeing my parents these few weeks later, it was jarring how far […]
My Favorite Things
Staying informed on current events is horribly depressing these days. Some nights, I have trouble sleeping because I can’t stop thinking about it. To get my mind off of the cruelty I see and hear about, I work on book plots in my mind, remember fun times, or read a book. Today, I am listing […]
