A Weekend in Wyoming
For several years, I’ve watched Wyoming Writers, Inc. offer writing conferences in different parts of the state. It was always tempting to go (I’m such a sucker for workshops to learn my craft), but it never worked out. This time, I was able to attend their conference in Casper. It’s only a four-hour drive from […]
Sun, Water, and Fun
It’s taken me all week to rest up after my vacation with my sister last week. We packed in as much fun as we could in the week-long trip, but it was the journey home that exhausted me. I spent 22 hours either in airports or on airplanes before I got home. I didn’t sleep […]
What Happened to April?
April was such a blur for me. It was jam packed with events and trips and people and packing and returning home. It left me tired and wondering how the time passed so quickly. May will not be any different. I start the month with a trip to Maui with my sister. Since she loves […]
Home for A While
Hubby and I returned to our summer dwelling this past week. He was only here a day before flying off to the Arizona mountains for fun in the sun with a high school buddy of his. I’ve enjoyed a week of peace and quiet. Mostly, I’ve rested after my trip to Boise, the hurry home […]

Blog Post Number 456
I started this blog in June 2014 because someone told me I should do that as an author. Doing the math (using a calculator for accuracy), that’s 468 weeks of blogs. I’ve missed a few here and there due to travel and other things, so I used the MS Excel program to find out how […]
Weird Week
We spent a week away from “home” (in my case, home isn’t so much where the heart is, but rather where we are living at the time), visiting my parents and attending a reception given for our daughter at Texas A&M. We took my parents along as we visited friends we haven’t seen in a […]
Another Trip to Pierre
Hubby grew up in the small town of Pierre (pronounced peer), the state capital of South Dakota. The town of 14,000 (now) lies in the middle of the state along the Missouri River that marks the boundary between farm country and ranch country, East River and West River state politics, Central Time and Mountain Time […]
