  • What is it about the water?

    Now that the hubs’ computer is back up and running, and he is posting his awesome photos again, I popped over to browse his Flickr page and found this shot. I don’t know why, but I love walking along a pier. When we first moved to New Orleans, I just couldn’t get over all the…

I also want to thank everyone who participated, stopped by and commented. 🙂 Perilously yours, Pauline

  • A Shocking Secret is Revealed…

    I’ve decided it is time to reveal my most shocking secret. Well, not exactly a secret if you’ve read my books. But I know when I tell people that my books have romance in them, there are assumptions made. So here goes. There is no sex in my novels. There is some romantic tension, but…

  • Ministry Kickstarter Blog Hop, Plus Giveaway

    My Scenic route is taking a pass through steampunk this week with a fun new Kickstarter project. It’s very fun to be part of start up projects like this. So here’s the scoop for how you can get involved: Galileo Games and Imagine That! Studios have teamed up to bring you an ambitious steampunk project! The…

  • Something Happened on the Way to My Fictional Murder

    I’ve spent the last week plotting fictional murder. And me a newly minted grandma. I should feel shame. Instead, I’m frustrated. It’s not as easy as you’d think it would be to kill off a character, even one created to be a red shirt (victim). In theory, you know all the relevant stuff, though I’ll…

  • Say It Isn’t So!

    Yup, today is the official start of the 2013 Hurricane season. (You have to put the year in or some people won’t know which hurricane season you’re talking about.) I blogged about preparing for the season on Monday, but today let’s talk names. I popped open the names list for the year and I have…

  • Have You Started Your Hurricane Prep?

    May 15th is the official start of hurricane season down here along the coast. Storms can and do start in May, but for Texas, May 15th is usually the start of hurricane preparation season. There are a lot of ways to advance prepare for a hurricane. Okay, maybe not a lot, but there are few:…

  • Twilight Eruption of Beehive Geyser

    I realized I hadn’t taken our scenic route to Yellowstone Park for a while. I believe the Park is still closed, though it might have opened by the time this post goes live. It’s been such a funky spring, it is hard to know. The hubs is a dedicated geyser gazer and will wait for…

  • Did You Say You’d Never Do That? Oops.

    So, TWICE recently I drove to McD’s for my bacon-cheese-biscuit breakfast wearing my slippers. Twice in like, two days. (If you’re also worried about my health, don’t be. Tests came back great. Hubs is SO bitter, but that’s a different blog post. Maybe.) As I waited for the light, I found myself wondering what other…

  • Ever Felt Like This?

    Have you ever felt like snarling? I did on Saturday, when I was trying to get my blogging mojo on. Or least get a blog post done. It felt like all the Muses were working against me. Like I was writing through mud. So this week my scenic route is through a snarl. It might…
