[html]Crying Out to be Gawked at   “Somebody should really wash all this stuff.” That’s a note I remember from almost 34 years ago, when Murray and I lived in our first apartment on Willow Way. I was pawing through the dirty clothes one day and found a braille note...

[html]I hosted Angela Shelton on my blog, Christina’s Corner, a month or so ago. I hate to admit it, but I didn’t visit her blog until after I asked if I could be a guest on the site. You see, I have a new book coming out next week and I’m doing everything I can think...

[html]Another deadline. My life overflows with them. Work deadlines, farm deadlines, editor deadlines—if it weren’t for these specific targets, I might finish nothing. It isn’t for a lack of desire to check tasks off my list. I love ticking the box that declares...

[html]Run for it! Don’t let them catch you! These are the words I imagine my steers might have hollered at each other as they escaped their pen yesterday. I’ll explain. Tom, my husband, arrived home from work to find steers in our back field. While that isn’t...

[html]If you own pets, you’ve experienced the fun of coming home to utter destruction. If you haven’t, read on my friend. I’ll share a little of my own with you. Ricky and Lucy, my two hooligans, love to be with us. In fact, they’re both lying beside my stool as I...
