Enjoy the Journey June 22, 2022
As Ken and I prepare to drive out to our cabin in Colorado this week, we’re making plans to see good friends, visit interesting places, and enjoy the ride as much as our time at the cabin. Our family has always held the belief that the journey is as important as the destination. No matter […]
Back to the Beach June 15, 2022
Many readers have fond memories of Misty of Chincoteague, the beloved tale by MargueriteHenry about the Beebe siblings and their Chincoteague pony. I still own my paperback copy, now falling apart at the seams. I don’t know how many times I read it, but I know that the book and the island left an imprint […]
The Longest Thing You’ll Ever Do June 8, 2022
In the midst of ongoing world crises–the War in Ukraine, lingering Covid worries, worldwide inflation, and a looming recession–there remains the desire to hope, to celebrate, to live. Just look at Great Britain over the past week. Everyone, everywhere stopped to celebrate the seventy-year reign of their beloved queen. They threw parties and held parades […]
Life is a Highway June 1, 2022
“Isn’t it mysterious how so many wonderful things in life come to us seemingly without our planning? We start traveling down one street, and we find ourselves interested in something we never expected on a side street; and as we explore it, the side street becomes the main road for us.” – Fred Rogers Don’t […]
Fixing What Matters May 25, 2022
It has started once again. The talk about guns and gun control, and the question about whether it’s guns that kill or people that kill, are the topics that plague us over and over in this country. They’re good questions, necessary questions. But the real question we should all be asking is, WHY? What are […]
Summer Reading 2022 May 18, 2022
It’s that time of year again–time for my list of book suggestions for this summer! Does it seem like just last week that I sent out the 2021 picks? How does time go by so quickly? Keep reading to see what I’m recommending this year… Fun and Surprising – The Fifth Avenue Story Society by […]
Coming Soon – Seeking Tranquility May 11, 2022
My next book, Seeking Tranquility, comes out in just over a month! I loved writing this book. The two sisters are as different as night and day, the two older women are busybodies who genuinely care about everyone, and the scientists on the mainland add humor and spice to everyone’s lives. Christy MacLane is smart, […]
Giving Your Best May 4, 2022
Shortly before the pandemic, I started doing my daily exercise routines at home instead of going to the Y. It works better with my schedule and saves me time on the road. I’ve bounced around between several different workout videos online, and they’ve all been good, but none of them made me excited about exercising. […]
My Favorite Place? April 27, 2022
One of the online groups I belong to poses an ice-breaker question every so often in order for members of the group to get to know each other. This morning’s question got me thinking. The question was, “What’s your favorite place of all the places you’ve travelled?” That’s an easy one and a difficult one […]
Lessons of the Daughters April 20, 2022
Not only did we celebrate Easter this past week, we celebrated my baby’s twenty-first birthday. Honestly, I can’t figure out how that happened! I remember April of 2001 like it was yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, it’s been twenty-one years. I think Morgan’s looks have changed over the past 21 years, but […]
