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)

A Hazy Shade of Winter
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
Moving Forward (Free Chapel)
The New Year, 2026 is only ten weeks away. That's crazy talk, isn't it? When we were eighteen and nineteen years old in the 70's, we never even looked into the 2000's. They didn't exist, but now? Now we are twenty-five years in. (gasp) I love our life. We've been through the good, the bad,… Continue reading Moving Forward (Free Chapel)
Drifting Along Like a Tumbling Tumbleweed… Part 2
I left off the last blog by telling you (confessing) how whiny I was. Poor TJ. I have to admit, a lot of this was because I was tired. One night when rain was coming at us, I became afraid to close my eyes to sleep. I made a mistake and looked at the weather… Continue reading Drifting Along Like a Tumbling Tumbleweed… Part 2
I’m a Traveling (Wo)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…
The Heat is On – Aye, Arizona!
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!
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!
Hot Town, Summer in the City
Today is June 1, 2024. The temperature is over 100* at noon. Kill me now. These temps make me sluggish, headachy, and grouchy. I am completely unmotivated to write this blog. No rain is likely for a month. This is my really sad face: In the meantime, TJ and I are coming up on the… Continue reading Hot Town, Summer in the City
I do Believe That a Change Is Gonna Do Me Good

We are thankful to the Verde Valley Library for having this event! The monies generated (from the event) go to reading for children… Continue reading I do Believe That a Change Is Gonna Do Me Good
Leaves that are Green
Fall weather finally arrived in Phoenix the last two weeks. Our doors are open all day except when our neighbors leave their diesel truck running in their driveway, or someone is smoking at their house. Regardless, we can stop running the air conditioner! The electric bills are descending! Hooray! We don't get a lot of… Continue reading Leaves that are Green

It’s Been A Long Time Coming Posted on October 10, 2023 by rdeemd1 Once more, I need to apologize for not writing for so long. TJ and I have been writing, editing… living our lives. There’s not a lot going on. At the same time, there’s so much going on. I have a new manuscript at the BETA readers… Continue reading New Post
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
