It’s Fall 2023, Y’all!
Where has this year gone? Winter sped by. Spring was a flurry, and summer blew by like a whirlwind. Three quarters of 2023 over. The leaves are turning here, and football is on TV. That means it’s time for cooler temperatures and shorter days. I don’t like that last thing, but because it’s been happening […]
Cody, Wyoming and Romance Writers
If you’ve never been to Cody, Wyoming, you should plan a trip there. It’s a charming city with a lot ot see and do. Hubby and I were there for several days earlier this month (August 2023) for the Cody Romance Roundup, a book signing event, and we had a blast. As you know from […]
A Trip to Oregon
Time with family is always precious, and our trip to Oregon included lots of it. For three days, both of our children and grandchildren were together, something that is increasingly rare. Knowing that tends to make our time together even more special and appreciated. Hubby and I flew this time, using our frequent flyer miles […]

After spending five months in Texas, Hubby and I are home again in South Dakota. Our last week in Texas was a full one. We traveled along wildflower-lined roads to College Station again. This time we went to a lecture by the CIA director, Bill Burns and a lecture by a woman who works at […]
City Driving
Hubby and I are basically country folks, so when our route takes us through a big city, we’re a little nervous. The high-speed, crowded city driving is scary, especially as we get older and wiser. Both of us took physics in college so we have an idea of the forces involved with giant machines going […]
The Friendly People of Texas
I made the trip from Amarillo to Lubbock early one Saturday morning so I could meet with the Caprock Writers Alliance for their monthly meeting. We go through Lubbock on the way to see my folks but we rarely get off the interstate. Making my way through town to the Garden and Arts Center was […]
Me and My Alma Mater
On the local news last week, I heard my alma mater, Black Hills State University, was playing basketball against the local college, West Texas A&M University in the Division II championships in nearby Canyon. My family, none of whom were here to go with me, encouraged me to attend the game. I’m not one for […]
