Light and pithy, it’s not.

Happy Thanksgiving
We've got about an inch of snow on the ground. It may be the first snowy Turkey Day that I remember here in Missouri. In Indiana where I grew up snow was more the rule, than the exception. Jonathon's step-father, Art, is doing the cooking. He's a very good cook. He's borrowing our kitchen and our dining room. But I still don't have to cook, and neither does Jonathon. Mary and Art are coming a little early to do the last minute cooking thing. They are going to be moving up closer to us soon. One of the pluses… Read More

Taking chances
I'm going to try and write a blog entry directly into blogger, instead of first making a word file, then transferring. We'll see if it works. Wretched weather here. We woke to wind gusts that sent our outdoor furniture skidding around. The electricity has been up and down about four times, only for minutes, then it kicks back on. Somewhere there are tree limbs smacking into power lines. But not in our yard, we've got it all underground now. The rain is mixed with sleet. The dogs don't even want to go out in it. Can't blame them. The… Read More

Rewarding yourself
By 4:30 this afternoon I had done 17 pages. Yea! Since Jon's Mom, Mary, takes Trinity to dance lessons I was able to reward myself for finishing the work day early. How? a long, relaxing bath. Gotta love the jacuzzi tub. I finished a Nero Wolfe mystery that I'd been reading, PLEASE PASS THE GUILT. Though I know myself too well to believe I can just relax for too long, so I have a large sticky pad wrapped in water proof stuff with a pen on the reading tray. Just in case the muse strikes, I don't have to… Read More

Done for the day, or would that be night?
It's just a little before 10:30, and I've got eleven pages for the day. Two hours for eleven pages. Four, or more hours earlier today, and I got a page. One page. This kind of thing is one of the reasons it's so hard to figure out how many days it will take to do a book. It just isn't always logical. No tab a' into slot b', then turn to page three of the instruction manual. It just doesn't work like that. But I get to go to bed now. Yea!

Second blog of the day
The first blog ended up being way too personal, so I?ve saved it, doubt you?ll ever see it. I know the trend in this country right now is to tell everyone everything about yourself. If that?s what you want to do, fine, but as for me, somethings are private. Somethings are just yours, you don?t have to share them, and some things just shouldn?t be shared, because no matter how understanding the listener is, they will never understand how precious, or how painful, the topic is. Ah, well. Why so glum? Well, I?m working at nearly 8:30 on a… Read More

A new tradition is born
You know how some compainies have causual Friday. Since we are pretty causual everyday, I suggested that we have dress up Fridays. Darla and Jon whined, and gave me that look, so I dropped the idea, for now. But you know me, once an idea enters my head, it sits there until I find something to do with it, so . . . TODAY IS THE FIRST EVER EVIL FRIDAY. How does it work? Wear a shirt with the word EVIL on it, or a scary phrase. The idea came to me while Darla was showing me some shirts… Read More
