It reached 98 degrees in Phoenix, yesterday. Typical for Spring in Arizona. The temps will rollercoaster up and down until the middle of June, and then it will be like Death Valley until the end of September. The weather here makes me think of what Moses felt when he stared into the burning bush. Of… Continue reading Spring is here, Spring is here!

When Will I See You Again?
Howdy, folks, family, & friends. I have to say, writing is dirty work. I've probably told you this before, but it never hurts to say it again. Each segment of a story has to be thoroughly thought through. (see all those th's?) First your idea, or in TJ's case, his dream, then a pseudo outline,… Continue reading When Will I See You Again?
60 Something
When you turn 65, you have to get new ID cards. Just saying. You get a new driver's license, new military ID (if you are/were in the military), a new Medicare Card... Every insurance company in the US of A is annoying you to buy their part B. Fortunately for us, our military ID comes… Continue reading 60 Something
What TJ Boyer did in the Year 2020
Well, let’s just say 2020 was an interesting year. With the government telling everyone to stay inside, and because we could not travel, it meant we could not attend any of the conventions (we prepaid for). We, like many others, stayed inside and did these things: Gained weight, lost weight, went crazy, divorced (we didn't),… Continue reading What TJ Boyer did in the Year 2020
A Miracle, or Two
We all want miracles. Don't pretend you don't know what I am talking about. Everyone wants something fabulous to happen to them. Some want to win the lottery. Some want to find everlasting love. Some only want to feel safe and secure. You know it's true. Laughingly, TJ and I talk about what we would… Continue reading A Miracle, or Two

It Isn’t Easy, You Know It Isn’t Easy
Writing isn't easy. You know how I know this? Two ways: 1) I write, and coming up with story line or poetry stresses you out. Even if you love it. And 2) So many people tell me they'd love to write a story, but just don't think they could. I think everyone has a story… Continue reading It Isn’t Easy, You Know It Isn’t Easy
In Light of the Plague
The world is in turmoil from the recent events of COVID-19. We really don't want to fall into that maelstrom of doom, so we are hoping to keep this blog light. We also do not want to politicize our blog. Just leave it to say we are doing what is expedient at this time. Our… Continue reading In Light of the Plague
Written by the Finger of God
Did you know the Ten Commandments were written in stone, by the finger of God? I am reading through a chronological Bible right now, and I read this. Every now and then I find something that stands out to me and it is so interesting. God actually talked to people and interacted physically with people… Continue reading Written by the Finger of God
A Brief (and hideous) Moment in Time
I try. I really, really try to keep positive about all the junk going on right now. I am torn between belief that we should be hunkering down to protect our family and friends, and thinking this is all a whole pile of poo. I feel as if this COVID-19 fiasco is just a trick… Continue reading A Brief (and hideous) Moment in Time
