Banks
We have a number of banks that we deal with, but we were thinking about opening a local account. My husband recently inherited some money so we had a check from the lawyer and it seemed like the perfect opportunity. We have been talking about consolidating and making it easier to keep track. Since the…
Read MoreGrabon’s Friends
Grabon has many friends, but when he realizes that Rok, Pit, Thane, Brom, and Griss are flying into his territory he is suddenly nervous. He has a few reasons and even as humans we can understand them. First off these are older, tough dragons who have watched him mature and always half threatened, half teased…
Read MoreHappy Day!
Things are coming together. I unearthed the washer and dryer from the sea of boxes. They both work perfectly, so we now have clean dry clothes hanging in closets. No small accomplishment there. My wonderful father is turning 80 today and we have a few surprises for him. My fingers are crossed that all goes…
Read MoreSingle Parent Dragons
Being a single parent among the dragons is unheard of. In dragon culture if a youngster is conceived and birthed to a nonmated pair, it is left in the care of the territory dragon. If a female rejects her offspring, it is left in the care of a territory dragon. If a youngster is too…

Broccoli does much the same, unless it’s cooked. My understanding is usually fact based, I grew up with…
Read MoreAnimals and Plants
Building a new planet using nothing but imagination is a wonderful kind of freedom for the writer. Having an opportunity to work with an artist like a Athena Tivnan who manages to capture my animals and plants, humans and dragons so perfectly is a joy. Visit JuliaSchmeelk.com and take a look at the art gallery…
Read MoreVeterans
With all our business, I meant to do this post yesterday or Sunday, but better late than never. To the men and women who currently defend our country, thank you! To the men and women who defended it in the past, thank you! Words are inadequate, but if the world worked according to my rules,…
Read MoreComing Home
After a whirlwind trip back to Missouri to clean and grab the last of everything, taking a shower in my own warm bathroom was wonderful. The old farm house always had its charms, but central heat was not one of them. The bathroom was one of the coldest rooms in the house. We are so…
Read MoreAdventure Continues
As with all adventures there was drama, not only the, sniff, goodbyes to people we care about and animals we have spent time with, but vehicular drama. Have you ever had your breaks pull in one direction and your steering wheel try to spin in another? It turns out that is a costly problem to…
