Generational
I was talking to my mother about my blog post about scrounging and finding the perfect pile of wood, only to discover that it was inhabited by rattle snakes. 😟 I concluded by reminding her that my husband and I have found some amazing things over the years. It turns out, the scrounging bug is…

Scrounging
As people spring clean their houses, many of them drag out unwanted items and pile them by the road, making a feast of possibilities for veteran scroungers. Shawn and I have always made use of such opportunities, just as I dig through our things and drag out our own pile of unwanted items. It is…

A Beautiful Day!
I was hoping Jo, my editor, would have a packet for me leading towards the release of book 7, The Hunter, but it looks like her work may be still stalled. Instead, I spent a good portion of the day outside. When I wasn’t outside I was with my dad. We are having fun planning…

Equality
Like freedom, equality is a word with a meaning that is dependent on the context. People consider themselves free in all kinds of circumstances that I would find intolerable. That doesn’t make them wrong or me incorrect, just different points of view. Equality doesn’t mean that everyone is the same, because look around. We are…

Jobs
I am extraordinarily lucky to have the time to look around at the possibilities, but I want to tell you about a very interesting opportunity that I ran into. I was looking for job possibilities on line, using my tablet, as I often do. I came across a teach from home advertisement and I followed…

The Heartsinger
My dad was recently going through and finding small errors, things to address for the 2nd edition and I started thumbing through the book and it sucked me in. Now I know that story, not only did I write it and re-write it and fiddle with it and rework it, but then eventually I revised…

Cyber Security
I know it’s making excuses, but seriously I forget to check every day! Since the recent attacks on the website and the heightened security, I have to go through each comment and decide if I can approve it or not. Since I let the last bad actor in and they did a couple of hundred…
