Breaking My Sound Barrier
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I’ve been writing instead of reading (with much pausing for Christmas shopping). I set a goal to get 35,000 words written by the 15th. Half a book is, for me, kind of like breaking the sound barrier. If I can to that, then I can usually tell…

When Life Delivers the Polar Opposite
We moved to New Orleans in the 1980s. We couldn’t have found a more opposite place to live than where we grew up. I say it often, New Orleans was the complete polar opposite of Wyoming. Humid <—> Profoundly dry Wild and crazy <—> self-contained Flat and below sea level <—> Way above sea level…

I Interview Myself About MAESTRA RISING
It’s Monday, both on the blog and out in the world and summer is scheduled to arrive here. I will believe it when the temps rise above the 40’s. Yes, I have trust issues with Mother Nature this year. She sure didn’t show up for the Summer Solstice. (Hello, note that it is SUMMER Solstice…

Order is Restored #renovation
It’s Thursday and reveal day!! I was talking with the husband in our now quiet house and we agreed that we are: 1. So surprised to be living in such a happy space. Through the years, we liked the houses we owned, but we had to pick them quickly (because we’d been transferred) and we…

In the Beginning There Was Chaos
When the hubs and I first looked at our home-until-we-die (I hope), we loved the upstairs (for the most part) but were not thrilled about the downstairs. We decided if we had to, we could probably live with it since we mostly live upstairs, but we weren’t thrilled for our family having to be down…

Would You Add Dragon Wings…
Rockets have fins, so why not wings? If you’re going to have wings on a spaceship should they be dragon wings? Elon Mush tweeted that he was “thinking about adding giant stainless-steel dragon wings to Starship.” As it shot through space to Mars the dragon wings could keep it cool during re-entry. “That’s important,” because…

What’s Your Reality…Show?
I was watching Project Runway the other day and couldn’t help thinking, wow, it takes a lot of guts to do that, to compete like that. People who go on reality shows really put themselves out there. They get harsh criticism and have their mistakes on display for the world to see. It is hard…

Movie Monday
I did not feel well on Saturday (when I write my posts for the coming week). It should not be hard to come up with an idea for a blog post and then pick a hub’s photo to share, but I did not feel well. Apparently, inspiration does not come to those who feel like…

Come On In! The Water’s Cold!
Years ago, when my son was a home-schooling high school student, he asked if he could research my writing business so he could understand how a business works. He came back a week later, his eyes wide and said, “Mom, you’re in a crazy business.” I agreed and he asked, “Why do you do it?”…

What Really Happened In Roswell?
The problem with the story of the Roswell crash is that the publicized information we’ve all been given is conflicting, to say the least. I’ve gathered the main details, so we can look them over. On Tuesday, July 7th, 1947 as Dan Wilmot, Roswell resident, and business owner, sat with his wife on their front…
