Waco bound!

April 3, 2018 By Tamera Alexander

This past fall, I asked for "must sees, must dos, and must eats" while in Waco, TX because my daughter Kelsey and I were planning a trip to Magnolia Farm. Well... THE TIME HAS COME! We're headed to Waco on Friday!     So for all of you who've been and lived to tell about it, I'd still love to get your two cents about "must dos," if you're willing to share.

March 21, 2018 By Lenora Worth

Things Deb and I would have done. . .

January 16, 2018 By Tamera Alexander

Have you ever looked forward to something BIG TIME...only to have it not come to pass? Well, that happened this week. But it was no one's fault. It's just life. But I've been so bummed. First, some quick backstory… A few of you might not know that Deb Raney and I have been writing critique partners for over 14 years now. And during that time, we've become very dear friends. Well, Deb was … [Read more...]
