Good news and thanks for your prayers. Colleen is home again and appears to be feeling well. She seems sharp, and hopefully a few “techy” things will be added to help her out, emergency call buttons and voice to text, etc. A bathroom remodel to a walk-in shower to make things easier is in theContinue reading “Colleen Is Home Again”

After such grand news last week, I would ask that you pray for Colleen. She had a fall and is back at the Auburn hospital, being well cared for and as far as I know, in good spirits. I don’t know every detail, just that she is not at home any longer. I’m sure sheContinue reading “Pray for Colleen”

I’m not sure how many of you know that Colleen has been ill. This last November, she caught the flu or a cold and thought she could just hibernate and sleep it off.

The quote, “Lions and Tigers and Bears, Oh My!” from The Wizard of Oz created shivers and excitement in anticipation for what lay ahead. “Heroes, Heroines, and Villains, Oh My!” does the same for characters in novels. I love telling stories and finding settings, but the best part of writing fiction or novels based onContinue reading ““Heroes, Heroines, and Villains, Oh My!””

Today I am 87 years young, the perfect day to look backwards and forward. Birthdays in our family were always special. Meals ended with dessert of the birthday person’s choice. White cake with fudge frosting for me, banana whipped cream cake for my younger brother, and butterscotch pie for Dad–who “wasn’t much of a handContinue reading “Happy Birthday #87: Counting my Blessings”

Years ago, I witnessed an incident that brought tears. A teen girl who thought she was better than everyone else held a slumber party. She invited every girl in her class except one shy, often ignored classmate. The cruel act destroyed what little self-esteem the outcast girl had. It took years for her to seeContinue reading “Heart-breaking Incident Inspires Author”
