It’s 7:15 in the morning, and I just got back from the grocery store. I’m not generally shopping at this hour (I haven’t even read the papers yet!), but today is the official grand re-opening of my favorite store, the 30th Street King Soopers in Boulder. They were offering 10% off the entire order and […]

Today is Memorial Day (observed—the 30th is the traditional date). I put my flag out as soon as I got up. It’s stirring in the morning air, which is bothering Sallie (my defense beagle).
She’s going to have to cope with it, though, because I love to fly my flag on patriotic holidays. Later today […]

I’m in Laramie, having taken four solid hours to go the 90 miles from home. I was part of a caravan or wagon train, and had to go the pace of the lead car. Ork!
We’re here for the Beth Moore conference, tonight and tomorrow morning. But at the moment, I’m in a KOA, Sallie at […]

Last weekend was the Colorado Christian Writers Conference in Estes Park, CO. Rather reluctantly, I signed up for the “Women Reaching Women” continuing session—it seems to be a direction the Lord is pushing me in.
Linda Evans Shepherd led the class, and she’s extremely into multi-media. So we planned speeches, and she filmed them. We made […]

from Dolphin: Okay, so we’re in Estes Park. Mama seems to think we’re here for her to learn to write better, and maybe to sell some manuscripts. She goes off each morning and again after lunch, lugging heavy bags. And she comes back, tired and sore, talking about worship times, and appointments with editors, and […]

from Sallie: Oh, the horror! The trauma! The … the … you will not believe what’s been happening here!
In the front yard, right outside the big window where I stand guard, sitting in the grass among the iris leaves, under the maple tree, there is a … a … a RABBIT! Just sitting there, […]

What a fun afternoon and evening I had! A bit … different, but definitely fun!
My friend Anita (Hongxia Yu) graduated from the CU Business School! I helped her with English and writing when she started at Front Range Community College, so I feel I have a bit of buy-in for her graduation. I went to […]

My dog and I are being trained with clicks, consistency, and treats. She listens and obeys my words; I click to teach her, praise, and guide.
I never hear God’s voice, or feel His hand in guidance as I go. I don’t see lights or miracles; He doesn’t tell me what to do … and yet, […]

What fun I had Saturday, May 2! Art and Soul (Twin Peaks Mall, Longmont, CO) features Colorado artists of all types, and they are carrying all my books (I mean, the books that have stories of mine). So Saturday we planned a book signing.
I had several friends come up, which is always fun. But I […]

I was interviewed on KPOF’s morning show this past Tuesday. I’ve been on with Roy and Denise before, and it’s always fun. Since I have pieces in three different compilation books this spring, we were talking about my experiences, the writing process, and the Colorado Writers Conference this month.
And it’s going to be a full […]
