Friday’s Odds and Ends
Before moving on to other items of interest, I thought I’d share a few funny memes that were shared by a friend. It might be a good way to launch the weekend. The first one is a little naughty, so be forewarned: Next I wanted to alert […]
Friday’s Odds and Ends
Heading into the Labor Day weekend, we who are still safe and dry are conflicted about doing the usual end-of-summer celebration. At least I am a bit.

Monday Morning Musings
I hope you had a good weekend. Mine was very busy. First on Friday I drove to McKinney for the McKinney Book Festival. It was held on Saturday, but I wanted to go early to see some of my kids and be in town for the 8AM set up on Saturday. It was a fun […]
Monday Morning Musings
First I want to share a picture of the lovely rose I received from one of my cast members Sunday. That was the last performance of our comedy show “Anne-Arky,” and we had a cast party afterward, which was as much fun as the show. Now just a bit of a rant. When I read […]

Friday Fun & Writing Tips

Put me in mind of comedians George Carlin and Steven Wright, who both gave/give us things to think about with their humor. They were also favorites of mine and my husband’s, and we spent many an evening laughing, […]
Friday’s Odds and Ends
Before heading into serious content, I wanted to start the day with this cute meme. Thank goodness the only bodies I have to hide are in fiction.
