  • Dude Deserved His Happy Ending or Why I Wrote MISSING YOU

    Luke, the hero of Missing You, helped both his brothers get their gals. He was a hero before he was a hero. The widower totally deserved to be happy again, to have the right gal in his life. I know what you’re thinking. “Gal, that guy is fictional.” But you see, after two novels, none…

  • The Road Home

    We live in a really beautiful country. It is also a very BIG country. Holy cow, is it big! And there are places were AUTUMN happens! Like autumn with leaves changing colors and everything! While there is much to love about living in Texas, I do miss having more than a couple of seasons. And…

  • Please Drag Across Finish Line…

    As soon as I saw this photo, I knew I had to share it. Even if I’m not actually face down, there are times when I feel face down. And yeah, would like to be dragged across the finish line. Thankfully there are some really great people in my life who send me virtual “lift”…

  • Back in the Hot Zone

    So I’m back from my reunion, back from Wyoming. Hoping to have some post reunion thoughts when I’ve rested, but right now, just dealing with being back in the HEAT and the HUMIDITY. O.O I forget how hot it can get when I’m away. I love Texas and I love living here, but I feel…less…

  • Fried Olives? For reals? And another audio book…

    I have to laugh, because when the hubs comes home from one of his photo expeditions and I ask him how it was, I get, “Fun.” Or “Good.” Then he starts posting the pictures and I see his scenic route and probably his eating route. LOL So, it’s Thursday, which means I have another audio…

  • Where Part of My Heart Is

    I have many homes. When I’m where I live, I am home, but home is also where my kids grew up. And I talk about “going home” when I am at home where I live. When I think about “going home,” I mean Wyoming. I have come to realize that a piece of my heart…

  • What’s Out of Your World? A Blog Hop and Hope?

    When you hear “out of this world,” what comes to mind? Quick, don’t think too hard. Is it a vacation? A dessert? An adventure? For me, its always about outer space. Maybe it’s because of when I grew up. Back then we didn’t know what was on the dark side of the moon — at…

  • A Stormy Scenic Route & Another Audio Book 🙂

    I love the way the hubs sees the world through the lens of his camera. When a storm is coming, the air changes and you feel a mix of awe and excitement. A tingle down the spine. A good book can give you that tingle of awe and excitement, too. This week I have two…

  • Dragging My Memory Back to High School

    So, as previously mentioned, my high school reunion is this month. It’s been 40 years, so I’m not worried about what to wear or trying to repair the ravages of time. Thanks to FaceBook, most of my classmates have already had time to process time’s b*tch slapping. Gravity has not been kind either. It happens.…

  • More Romantic Rides and Reads.

    Last week, I posted one of the hubs photos of the Houston Livestock Show Skyride. Then I saw this one and fell for it, too. It draws the eye into the story, hopefully like a good book draws you into that story. The hubs forms his Flickr sets into a picture story, inviting you to…
