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)

Off the Normal Book Track
Every now and then... I am called to write something like this. God calls me. He really does. I don't know who will read this. I hope some of you will. Jonah (4 chapters in the Bible) By Elizabeth Ajamie-Boyer 12-5-2025 God told Jonah to go to Nineveh, a very horrible place… I imagine the… Continue reading Off the Normal Book Track
You Don’t Know Me! (by Ray Charles)
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)
We Fall Down, We Get Up…
I'm going off course today. This isn't a travel blog, or a book blog. This blog is about us: TJ & me: I love football. This has only a little to do with my testimony, but this needs to be said. We are heading into football season. Go Cardinals! So... I love football. Although the… Continue reading We Fall Down, We Get Up…
How Great Though Art
I usually post generic blogs but my heart wants to sing about how merciful God is. Psalm 8 speaks about how great the heavens that God created, are. Even in Phoenix, when I look up at the stars... the planets... I realize something greater than I is at work. My whole being wants to praise… Continue reading How Great Though Art
I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas
I love this featured photo. I used to have this lovely wreath, all tinsel and balls. But as time wears out our bodies, so time does to our stuff. The Bible says Jesus told His disciples, in Matthew 19-20, “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where… Continue reading I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas
All of Me, Why Not Take All of Me?
I love that song. My Dad used to sing all these old songs when I was a kid. My voice isn't the best, but I still sang along. We all did. Dad, Mom, me, and the barfing kid. Dad would take us on road trips for a few hours. We would drive into the desert,… Continue reading All of Me, Why Not Take All of Me?
When Will I See You Again
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
Down in the Valley
This blog has some interesting (to me) issues having to do with what do I keep and what do I throw away. I am not a typical hoarder who keeps everything. I have some small piles, here and there, of things I go through periodically. I purge. But here are some things I keep: I… Continue reading Down in the Valley
Going Down That Long Lonesome Highway!
God willing, tomorrow TJ and I will be heading out on our drive-about. We will be visiting my sister, Susan Wingate, also an author, at her home in Washington State. We will load up the trailer, pack up the doggo, and head out in the morning. This post will be short, but I will be… Continue reading Going Down That Long Lonesome Highway!
If You Don’t Know Me by Now…
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…
I Don’t Care What They Say!
TJ and I are Christians. That being said, we aren't perfect people who are never mean and who never speak out in anger. We occasionally use language/words unbecoming our calling... Even with one another. But as the Doobie Brothers once sang: I don't care what they say! Jesus is just all right with me. Everyone… Continue reading I Don’t Care What They Say!
Here Comes the Sun (in the Valley of the Sun)
So, book events are like, what did we learn this time? At the Tombstone Western Writers event we learned to make sure certain things in the new trailer still work. Like the refrigerator and the heater. Because wow, was the weather ever cold, rainy, and windy down there. Thursday and Friday were bitterly cold, mostly… Continue reading Here Comes the Sun (in the Valley of the Sun)
Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem
I have always wanted to go to Israel and Lebanon. I suppose now isn't the time, though. With the terrorists attacking, holding hostages, and assaulting women and children, I need to stay out of there. But someday. Someday, there will be peace for a minute. I will go walk where Jesus walked. Did you know… Continue reading Oh, Little Town of Bethlehem
Until You Find Your Dream
So much time passes between blogs. I wish I was dedicated to writing weekly [on here]. TJ and I manage to write almost each day on our books. I'm not sure what story he's working on right now. I, however, am editing his Lost at Sea book. This story is adventure, mobster, and mystery, sort… Continue reading Until You Find Your Dream
