For Valentine’s Day, hubby and I went to Outback Steakhouse. We had a gift certificate so I saved some of my Weight Watcher’s points for the evening. Not enough, but I went moderate on the bread and ate a small steak. On the way home, Husband suggested ice cream. Before I knew it, I was in Baskin Robbins ordering a …
Evidence of Murder by Jill Elizabeth Nelson
A good book is hard to find! Please welcome author and friend Jill Elizabeth Nelson to tell us about her new release from Steeple Hill Love Inspired Suspense. Great cover by the way, Jill. About the book: The photographs Samantha Reid uncovers in her new store are shocking. Horrifying. And dangerous. This new evidence could reopen a decade-old multiple homicide …
Loving Facebook
I am loving Facebook these days. The design and layout is simple, easy to read. It’s the same for every member so I don’t get lost in a bunch of whacky designs. The best part? Connecting with family. Siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins. The other night I came home to find a friend request from a cousin I hadn’t talk …
God is kind
Recently, I recalled my commitment to not grumble or complain this year. I’m doing so-so, but I’m glad the resolution popped into my head. Think it might have had some help? (wink) Anyway, I’m not happy with our new government. Our new president has said some things the press would’ve skewered our former president for saying or doing but have …
Book Clubs and me

Thoughts on Writing a Book
I’ve been helping my friend and author extraordinaire Susan May Warren plot a new book. She calls with, “What’s the lie she believes?” No “hello, how are you?” but straight to the point. This is why we get along so well. We discuss the lie the character believes and why. It’s so important to figure out why. And it doesn’t …
Psalm 2
Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples? Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers: “Let’s get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!” Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he’s amused at their presumption; Then he gets good and angry. Furiously, he shuts them up: “Don’t you know …
How do George and Laura Bush feel now?
I’m teary-eyed thinking about them, getting on the plane that flew them to Dallas, taking them from Washington D.C., ending eight hard fought years. George W. is leaving an office and job that still teams with the issues and work he faced. He knows what we face as Americans, as a nation. I wonder what he feels. Relief? Sadness? Can …
Our government
Tell me this. How come our government is asking every one to sacrifice but themselves? They get an automatic raise every year while the constituents are being laid-off. They are spending our money bailing out irresponsible companies. They are covering their poor laws and poor oversight on gov’t programs like Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac with OUR tax dollars. The …
