We have entered the time when I switch my drink of choice from cold beverages like root beer and Cheerwine to hot chocolate. Hooray, hot chocolate! As I type this, I’m sitting in one of my favorite cafes slurping down a large hot chocolate and smelling the pumpkin bread baking (John, the one doing the [...]

my internet connection from home has been on the blink. Not totally gone, but intermittent. Sometimes I can get online, sometimes no. Sometimes it works fine, sometimes it’s slower than molasses in January. I hate that. So, I’ve been entertaining myself by actually doing things I’m supposed to do – like the laundry. And dishes. [...]

Right now I am pissed at the power company – or maybe at the mowing contractor the power company hired. We have – HAD – wild raspberries growing in the power easement and along an embankment that’s actually  private land belonging to the day care center on the corner.

I love fall. I do not like Halloween. Now, I am not one of those uber-religious people who think it is Satanically inspired, etc. Nope. Just don’t like it. My kids play dress up all the time so costumes are nothing new here. I don’t like candy so I don’t look forward to raiding their [...]

Okay, so I get asked with some regularity where I get story ideas (the answer is everywhere – TV, radio, dreams, conversations, books, news stories, whatever). The other day, though, someone asked me and I was cranky. Really cranky. It was after noon, I’d been up since 7am and hadn’t eaten anything. Not eating makes [...]

I love the autumn like nobody’s business. I come alive during this season.  Our schedules are hectic with sports, homework and activities but I manage to get more done despite the shorter days. I write more, I do more, I sleep better. It is just a better time all around. I love to cook and [...]
