I may have used this title before. That would have been a long, long time ago... But as my birthday is coming up, I felt like I wanted to use this one over, again. My father used to sing that song to me when I was quite young. He made me feel special whenever he… Continue reading My Funny Valentine
The weather in Phoenix is schizophrenic. We were experiencing high 40s in the mornings, then high 60's in the afternoon, then rain and clouds. Even some thunderstorms, but the weather wasn't cold. Ruby and I walked each day except one, rain or shine. There were two days of gray, gray, rain, rain, a bit of… Continue reading Who’ll Stop the Rain (CCR)
Phoenix. The weather is schizophrenic here. One week, we're hot, the next we're cold. There's no rain for months, then the drips are here, day after day. Please don't misunderstand. I love rain. I wait all summer for the monsoons to blow in. Then I wait for the autumn, winter, and spring rains. I don't… Continue reading A Hazy Shade of Winter
I imagine, you're like, what? Well, the truth be told, sometimes I don't know what to write about in my blogs. The same for my books. I have to push aside a manuscript for what seems like days to get new inspiration to move forward. However, today... my inspiration for this blog is our newest… Continue reading You Don’t Know Me! (by Ray Charles)
Yesterday was Independence Day! Happy birthday to the USA, & also to our personal firecracker, Sonja, our daughter. We had hamburgers & birthday cake. Then when they left (the family) TJ & I hunkered down with our dog, Ruby. I had to give her some Calm medicine, then cover her with a weighted blanket so… Continue reading Come Fly With Me (& TJ)
Thanks for the title, Shania Twain! We went to Montana to see Granddaughter #1, taking Granddaughter #2 with us. They are half sisters. We also saw our friend, Barb McNey, whom some of you know from when we all worked together at General Dynamics. We walked with Barb along the Bitterroot River in Hamilton, Montana.… Continue reading Honey, I’m Home & I Had a Hard Day
I'm not a big partier. More like a person who likes peaceful routine. I do enjoy family get togethers, but afterwards, I need quiet to re-energize. With regards to being a partier, I haven't always been this way. I am, after all, and ENFJ-A personality. I am the protagonist/antagonist person. But since the cancer, quiet… Continue reading Ooh, I’m Drivin’ My Life Away
We finished out Spring events with a bang. Going to Cottonwood for the Verde Valley Comic Expo is a blast every year. They haven't updated the website for the new photos, yet, but I'm sure they will soon. We had a wonderful time. Ruby Sue came as Under Dog. She was very well behaved, sitting… Continue reading I’ve Been Everywhere (Man)
We had a fabulous, successful time at the Tombstone Festival of Western Books, last Friday! I wish some of you had been able to make the trip. I want to thank Doug Hocking for inviting us the last two years. The big photo is the Chiricahua Mountains where Cochise's stronghold was. Because Tombstone is almost… Continue reading I’m a Traveling (Wo)man…
Have I ever told you how much I love Arizona? This state is beautiful. You can drive from Mexico at the southern end, to Utah at the northern end. The time would take about eight hours. In the south, the deserts reign, wild from the border up to around Prescott or Payson. The mountains climb… Continue reading The Heat is On – Aye, Arizona!
I love the autumn. I love the colors, the cool weather, the excitement of the holidays coming up. I am able to go outdoors during the day without feeling as if my skin is searing off in the nuclear sunshine of Phoenix. Many, many people love the heat, but not I. I want weather where… Continue reading When Will I See You Again
Hi! Did you all know that the song Down in the Valley has another name? Apparently, because the last verse references Birmingham jail, the song's secondary name is just that. Birmingham Jail. Those are the kinds of fun things you'll learn as you read along with me. Trivia. You'll be the Trivial Pursuit champion learning… Continue reading Valley So Low…
I'm bragging a little, today. I got a lovely email from a woman in the UK. She bought my Memories of War series. She told me ... well this is what she said in her email: I just wanted to drop a quick note to say how much I loved your Memories of War series.… Continue reading You Put the Song in My Heart
She isn't 5'2" yet... But she's the sweetest child. Elektra. Plus that silly dog, Ruby Sue. This photo reminds me of another with Elektra's sister, Simone. I have to push a photo of them together because they are super similar. Simone walking another of my cocker spaniels... 20 years ago. As soon as I do… Continue reading Five Foot Two…
Happy Monday! We've almost passed July. Two of my grandkids have birthdays this week. The bigger one will be 19 years old. The littler one will be 9. I am sort of stunned by this fact. I don't feel like the grandparent of an almost 30 year old. That one's birthday is October. Three grands.… Continue reading If You Don’t Know Me by Now…
