Crazy Days of Summer — with a giveaway!
Forget the “lazy” days of summer. It feels like it’s been crazy in my little corner of the world ever since I returned from California. First I had a book signing at a cute little bookstore in Kuna, a town outside of Boise. In fact, my mother went to school in Kuna and graduated from the high school there in 1933. She wouldn’t recognize it anymore as it is no longer a small farming … [Read more...]
Chasing Waterfalls
Despite the admonition from a famous pop song to "don't go chasin' waterfalls," that is precisely what I did when my husband and I traveled to Deadwood, SD last month. We were making the trip so I and several author friends could participate in a book event called Wild Deadwood Reads. Wes and I turned the trip into a mini vacation as well, touring as many sights as possible along the way. We both … [Read more...]

But I thought I’d peel back the curtain a bit so you … [Read more...]

WARNING: There is much excitement, especially from younger cousins who had already had a lot of sugar. LOL Notice K2's dogs, Malcolm & Rue, … [Read more...]
Christmas is Coming
I know it's July, but I'm so excited about Christmas I can hardly stand it! A couple of years ago, I decided to get a holiday lawn ornament that would have something to do with faith--after all, I'd had reindeer and Christmas trees for a long time, and I wanted to tell my neighbors that we BELIEVED IN JESUS. So I found a festive lighted angel online. Trouble was, the angel had long … [Read more...]
