Already have two RSVP’s, from the ones we sent out earlier this week! Yes, what a relief, all my parents are coming. 🙂 Now let’s see how many other people […]

While I’m not at liberty to give you identifying details, I have been given permission by the author to tell you about this really interesting thing that’s going on in a book I’m editing. In an earlier conversation with the author, in addition to my other feedback, I’d said, “There are very few women in

Ooh, here I was thinking I was blogging two days in a row! Except, not, I realize; for last night, the across-the-street neighbors texted and said, Do you want to come to dinner? We have Air Conditioning! And we said YES, and that was the evening. We got to know their new puppy better. She’s

It remains hard to blog! But this time I have a very good excuse–travel. We drove all day Tuesday, and got to my mom’s house in time for a delicious BBQ dinner. Spent the night, went to the health club with Mom & Stepdad the next morning, then headed over to the coast after lunch.
Why is it so hard to blog these days? The end of the day comes too quickly, and so many things are undone, and…I go to bed. Except tomorrow we’re heading to California at oh-dark-early, for a wedding-planning trip and some family visiting (my family this time), and who knows when I’ll have time at
