In the pictrue on the left, that’s me and my mother taken 66 years ago. How I hated what I referred to as myContinue reading “Mother’s Day Without Mom”

Good morning. Got my exercise this morning as you can see and now, after I recover, I’ll get to work doing more laundry and writing the final chapters of Listen to the Stones. This week was a busy one for me. Tuesday, I spent the day at a track meet. I wore a hat butContinue reading “Random Questions on a Friday Morning”

Welcome to May. Let’s hope Mother Nature is generous with her May flowers. A little consistent heat would be nice, too. It’s a bright sunny 64F today. I’ll take it. Welcome to this week’s Tuesday Tales. My word prompt today is BOIL. I’m continuing with Listen to the Stones. Enjoy! He set his duffel bagContinue reading “Tuesday Tales: From the Word BOIL”

I had plans for today, plans that didn’t include rain. My first thought was ugh! So much for doing that. But then I decided to change my attitude.

I also knew that I would be dealingContinue reading “Tequila Sunrise. Inspiration Can Come From Anywhere!”

We did it! We blogged our hearts out and touched the hearts of others –at least that’s how I feel about this year’s blog challenge. Going into my mail and finding the links to all the blogs I followed this year became as vital to my day as that cup of coffee, and responding toContinue reading “A to Z Challenge Blog 2024, Reflection”

Welcome to May and this month’s IWSG question: May 1 question – How do you deal with distractions when you are writing? Do they derail you? Yes and no. It all depends on what I’m writing and when. If I am in the creative stage and am running along on a great plot or characterContinue reading “ISWG Monthly Blog for May 2024”

And just like that, it’s over. This post is the last one in this year’s challenge. There were times when getting the post written and posted on time was a bit of a struggle, but I managed and I have no regrets–well, maybe a couple since I couldn’t post comments on a few of theContinue reading “A to Z Challenge Block 2024, the Letter Z”
