By the time you read this, I’ll be in Palm Springs where I’ll be speaking to the Palm Springs Pi Phi alums tomorrow and then meeting my mother’s friends in her new Palm Desert community before hopping on an early flight home Tuesday morning. My youngest son Ty is going with me while the older […]

Happy Valentine’s Day
I’m so glad Valentine’s Day falls on a Saturday this year. This way we can be relatively relaxed all day and then celebrate tonight as a family. I’ve always thought of Valentine’s Day as a family celebration, not a couple-thing. Maybe it’s because my family always celebrated as a family, with a special dinner on […]
Romance!
I’ve read romance novels since I was a thirteen year old living outside Nuremburg, Germany with my family. I started with Barbara Cartland’s (ooh how I loved those wicked dukes and earls and titles like The Impetuous Duchess!) and progressed on to Mills & Boon romances and then Harlequins and then historical romances by authors […]
A Good Day
It’s a good day! I slept soooo good last night–woke only once or twice–and slept right until the alarm went at seven instead of up at four and then at five and then at six. The carpenters are back, putting on the trusses today for the boys new room and bath (we had to add […]
I Love Mondays
Does anyone else remember the song, I Don’t Like Mondays by The Boomtown Rats? I used to love that song, and if you need a memory fresher I found a link on YouTube. Unlike The Boomtown Rats song, I actually like Mondays because my favorite TV shows are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and then […]
Beautiful People
It’s been a week of challenging circumstances and life stories. Not necessarily in my immediate world, but with friends and neighbors. To protect my friends, I can’t share details. But I will ask everyone to continue thinking not just positive thoughts, but compassionate ones, too. We don’t always know what’s happening behind the scenes, behind […]
Hard Times
We are undoubtedly in the middle of hard economic times. I’ve heard from a number of readers who are struggling right now. Some of my readers have a husband out of work, while others are out of work themselves. I know some of my readers have had to sell their homes like Taylor in Mrs. Perfect, while […]
February’s Here
As many of my friends and long-time readers know, I love the month of February. February is my personal month, the month I just love best. It may be due to Valentine’s Day and the associated colors–reds and pinks and luscious corals–or the fact that it’s the shortest month of the year, or the gorgeous […]
Blah & Bah
I’m slightly out of sorts today. I don’t know why but everything just feels harder. Like getting off the couch. And getting a good night sleep. My back–which hasn’t been a problem at all–started to go wonky on me these past two days and I’m a lot more tired than I remember being with my […]
Shey’s Story
I have spent a little too much time ‘researching’ online. In fact, I spent the entire weekend researching for Shey’s book, my Texas book, and I didn’t know that I actually went a little crazy at Amaon and eBay tracking down history books, cook books, memoirs, biographies, and more until the books started to arrive […]
