This meme isn’t really very funny as it has gotten to triple digits here in my corner of Texas. High humidity, too, which makes the heat as heavy as an old quilt with feather ticking. While I sit with ice on my hip, I browse the Internet and recently read an interesting story about termites …
First a clever meme! This post was prepared on Monday and then I was offline for most of the rest of the week. My daughter-in-law was coming for a visit and to help me with some things, so I tried to get most of my office work done before she arrived. Looking forward to a …
But in case you’re getting ready to jump up and down for joy, settle back into your favorite chair and relax. This is only a short visit. Recovery from the hip surgery has been slow, but I am happy with the progress so far. However, I still cannot sit in my office chair for very …
While I wish my time away was to be spent at a beautiful, secluded Italian villa where I would finish my latest book in a lovely, peaceful setting, the next couple of weeks, or more, will be mostly spent recovering from hip surgery. I won’t go into all the gory details, but I know the …

It’s the time of the year when dog-sledders get serious about preparing for the annual Iditarod Dogsled Race that starts the first Saturday in March in Anchorage, Alaska. Slim Randles participated in the first race, and today on the blog he’s sharing a memory of a chance encounter in 1974 when folks were gathering to …
How did your week go? As planned? Mine did for the most part, and today I have some real brain clarity, so I hope to get some work done on the book I’ve been writing. So glad when my friend, Slim Randles can take over the blog for a day when I’m super busy, and …
