Library -My Own
I believe I may have mentioned that we own a few books. Well today, thanks in large part to our friend Jack Walsh who painted downstairs, and my dad who donated the boards to get us started, I began setting up the library. It is a long drawn out process, but to begin is a…
A New Book
I do a lot of reading. My taste spans many different genres but yesterday I bought a book, the 17th in that series. I have read them all but this one is Cross Breed by Lora Leigh. It is fantasy romance with genetically modified ‘breeds’ of differing kinds. Naturally I read it, all 300 some…
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…
Alternative Energy
Whether you believe in gravity, or not, you won’t float. The same is true of climate change, atmospheric toxicology reports, and many other environmental issues. You don’t have to believe. It isn’t going to make a difference. Well, except you’ll be among the first to die. But I guess you don’t plan to be prepared.…
😡 Scam! 😡
This morning I got up, hopeful and happy to explore this new employment opportunity. I did my Wii fit, took a shower poured my coffee and sent the image that showed the check from my new employer (IMDS) had cleared. It was 40 minutes before my report time, but I was feeling pretty good. In…
Spring Mud
If you don’t have a dog, a garden, or children in the USA you might not know that we are experiencing the miracle of spring. Plants are poking their little green noses out of the dirt, pushing aside rocks and old rotting grass clippings and leaves. Rain spatters down, occasionally pouring out of the sky,…
Hired over Text
For weeks I have been putting my resume out there, it might even have been for months. Who wants to keep track of frustration; but yesterday after I spent a lovely afternoon with my folks, I had a message. I texted back. I was instructed to find google hangout instant messenger. Yeah, it did not…
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…
