Time for a Little Blogging Common Sense

By:

Posting to my blog every single day is crazy. I’m not getting any work done on my book. I’m going to cut back on several things for a while. I’m thinking three days a week will be enough blogging while I’m trying to finish book revisions. I want to submit my manuscript to agents this …Read More

The Rumors Were True, Which Reminds Me of Bread Pudding

By:

Yesterday was indeed my birthday. It was sweet of Arlee Bird to pass the word on his tossing it out blog. Being a gentleman, he did not mention my age. I will tell you that I’m old enough to know better than indulge in the kind of overeating I did last night when my hubby …Read More

Blog-Hopping and Goofing Off

By:

I’m visiting as many blogger friends as I can this afternoon, so I decided to give you a few links as I find entertaining or enlightening posts. This, I think, is called killing two birds with one stone. First, I was on Ann Best’s Long Journey Home blog, reading about her Blogger troubles, and followed …Read More

Northern Colorado Intertribal Pow-wow

By:

I couldn’t help myself. I was back into drumming (or at least listening to the drums) yesterday. This photo is one of at least ten drums at the Intertribal Pow-wow held at the Colorado State University Equine Center in Fort Collins, Colorado on Mother’s Day. The women standing with their backs to the cameras are …Read More

What Are You Reading?

By:

My interests are eclectic, so I read a lot of stuff. Books are stacked high on the end table by my favorite reading chair. I buy books at signings and online, win books in drawings, check books out of the library, and hit the used book sales that benefit the library. A year ago, I …Read More

Springtime in Northern Colorado

By:

I should always take my camera when I go for a walk. Even though it was a little breezy on this day, and a lot of the trees were blowing just enough to make my photos blurry, I was able to bring back a little color for today’s post. This was one of the tulips …Read More

May Book Giveaway from Mystery Writers of America

By:

Wow, would you believe one of my Facebook friends won the April box of books from the Mystery Writers of America? That’s exciting news…although I’ll admit to being a little green with envy. There were some great books in that list. Of course, there are great books in the giveaway every month. Maybe you’ll be …Read More

I Flunked Cowbell at the Drumming Workshop

By:

On Sunday I attended a four-hour drumming workshop sponsored by writer friend Pat Walker and Gayan Gregory Long. Even though it doesn’t show in these pictures because Pat caught me during moments of intense concentration, I had a great time. I thought you’d like to see these photos of this old broad learning new tricks. …Read More

I’ve Been Tagged!

By:

Raquel Byrnes, one of the new blogger friends I made during the April A to Z Blog Challenge, tagged me in her May 4th blog post. For a “Tag” you answer 5 questions 5 times to share a bit about yourself. I’m not sure my answers are going to be as interesting as Raquel’s, but …Read More

I’m Running Late

By:

I’ll have a real post today. Probably closer to noon, Colorado time. I admit it, I’ve fallen off the schedule. Even though the A to Z Challenge made me appear to be a disciplined blogger, I won’t be that good all the time. I hope you’ll come back, though. I’ve been tagged, and I have …Read More
