We’re at home on this Thanksgiving evening with a fire in the fireplace after a very nice Thanksgiving day. I actually made Grandma and Mom’s yeast rolls. They turned out great. At the moment, Tony is reading and I’m wathing old Andy Griffith TV shows on PBS. When we came home, I said, “Well honey, how’s it feel? The Christmas …

Buckeyes Over Michigan
Biting my thumb nail, I watched the game with Tony and my brother-in-law, Helmut, as Ohio State battled Michigan for the Big 10 title and really, the national championship.OSU has looked so great all year. Troy Smith has been an excellent team leader and quarterback. The team seemed to gel in a way I haven’t seen a college football team …
The Best Feeling
I’ve been around babies most of my life. I have three younger siblings and started baby sitting when I was ten. Okay, not baby-babies, but for sure by the time I was thirteen, I was baby sitting infants.We spent the past weekend with my sister who has four children, 13, almost 11, 2 and seven months. I saw the baby …
Welcome Robin Lee Hatcher
Hello from crisp and blustery Idaho where it isn’t hard to believe we are entering the busy holiday season. Brrrrr. Thanks, Rachel, for allowing me to visit on your blog. I’m looking forward to reading your novel, Lost in NashVegas, about Robin Rae, a country music songwriter. When you read the next few paragraphs, you’ll understand that the reason is …
Off For Awhile
Well, Tony and I are off for awhile. Vacation. But, I’m working. I have to. This book has to get legs and wings or it’ll never fly. LOL. It’s weird however because I’m in this Bookmuda Triangle. Lost In NashVegas is out this month so I’m working on some publicity stuff, answering emails, did an interview with a guy in …
Interview with Martha Rogers
Writing is an amazing yet trying journey. And in the shadows along the way are rejections, disappointment and writers block. . . Perseverence is a must. Since I’ve been an ACFW member, one particular member has stayed-the-course longer than anyone I know, Martha Rogers. I’d like to share her testimony with you. RH: Hi, Martha, tell us a little bit …
Freedom Is Dangerous
Blog from Tony: When I taught high school science I was continually trying to get my students to understand concepts and principles that, when mastered, could be applied to all sorts of problems. Most were surprisingly resistant. Their preferred method was to learn the “steps” for each type of problem. They wanted to get the right answer because they were …
Trip to Beaufort, SC – Day 5
Beautiful day. Went on the ACE Basin Tour at 10:00 a.m. I thought it was a half hour, forty-five minute boat ride. Turns out to be 3 hours. But it was so peaceful and relaxing. There were only a few of us on the tour boat. The water was smooth and glassy. White clouds floating across a sun lit blue …
Trip to Beaufort, SC – Day 4
This morning I woke up early, and worked some. Then got ready and went out. I drove down Robert Small Pkwy. I was looking for a Christian bookstore to see if they had a copy of Lost In NashVegas, but no luck. Well, to be honest, I couldn’t find the store. So, I drove toward Burton over the Parris Island …
