See This Symbol? Respect It
Okay, going out on a limb and admitting . . . yes, I have parked in a handicap spot before when I was pressed for time and just needed to get in and out of a store. Bad me, but I didn’t really feel that bad about the act. Now that I’m temporarily disabled and have had to live in a world not meant for disabled people: ”Shame on me!” Read the rest of this entry »

Good-Bye All My Children
It was the summer of 1970, I was 12. Flipping channels on the old Zenith, I stumbled across a show that caught my adolescent attention. It was juicy with gossip, pretty characters, and mystery. Suddenly, Dark Shadows, my all time favorite drama, had competition. The show in question was All My Children–a soap opera. Read the rest of this entry »

Foot Update
Surgery went well. I’m in a cast managing to get around. Can’t wait to get this hunk of plaster off.
Was it the drugs, or did my anesthesiologist tell me he read my blog post-surgery?

Go Broncos
I never followed football until the last five years or so. I’m a baseball person. People used to tell me baseball was boring. I used to say football was boring. Now I’m kind of a convert thanks to the Boise State Broncos. Dare I say it . . . watching them in action makes baseball seem really boring. Read the rest of this entry »

My Left Foot
Today when you walk to the fridge, the restroom, or to get the newspaper, think of how fortunate you are that you’re able to stand on your own two feet and get to where you need to go. Tomorrow I’ll be heading into the O.R. for surgery on my left foot and I dread the morning with a passion. I had this same surgery Read the rest of this entry »

My Molly Dog
Here’s a sweet picture of a fourteen year old girl who’s been a faithful and loving friend. She’s hanging in here, still chasing squirrels. But she’s going blind and she’s all but deaf. We still love her dearly.

Ho Ho Ho . . . Please Don’t Snow Contest
Yes, I know . . . asking it not to snow in Idaho isn’t likely. However, maybe it won’t snow in November since I’ll have to be on crutches. (More later about this one!) In any case, in honor of winter’s approach, I’m giving away a copy of my anthology called Upon A Midnight Clear. I have a short story in this one along with Jude Deveraux, Linda Howard, Margaret Allison and Mariah Stewart. Read the rest of this entry »

Fall Into October Contest Winner Picked
Cocoa Puff the Yorkie picked the winner of the Fall Into October Contest . . . by a nose. I took the entries and numbered them, and dropped the papers on the carpet in a large radius, and picked the one my dog went to first. (I know it’s not scientific, but it worked!) There were many entries and when I tossed them into the air, they kind of spread–so I had more than the papers shown in the photo with Cocoa.
Thanks to everyone who entered and shared their thoughts about fall! Now as we head for Thanksgiving, I’ll be posting a new contest to end December 1 . . . a kick off to WINTER and Christmas.

Fall Idaho Sunrise
My husband took this photo of our backyard at sunrise this morning. It doesn’t do the colors justice. The brush of orange only stayed for less than a minute as the clouds skirted swiftly in the sky. Not sure if you can see it or not, but there’s probably 50 ducks on the pond. We usually get a lot who winter here, and at times, there are close to 100 in the backyard.
