It’s Sunday afternoon, and raining. I like it. Kind of cozy. Rocky V is on the WB and for some reason, I’m watching it. I actually cooked Sunday dinner. I know, I know, pass the smelling salts, revive the masses. Rachel Hauck cooked a whole meal! I smooshed together hamburger, onions, egg and A-1 sauce to make a meat loaf. …

Or in my case, way up to the Suwannee. I drove to Live Oak, Florida yesterday and spoke in the evening to the Glowing Embers group at the Advent Christian Community. It’s a beautiful retirement community tucked away in north, central Florida.I had a great time. There were about 100 people at the Glowing Embers dinner, and I stayed the …

We celebrated a friend’s birthday last night. Since it was his “day”, he got to choose the game. We went around said what we admired or liked about the person next to us. Then, we said what we liked and admired about the people not sitting next to us. So everyone received about eight encouraging words. It’s interesting to see …

I’ve been thinking a lot about love lately. The kind of love Jesus demonstrated by leaving His rightful and privileged place in heaven to make recompense for man’s sin. Some times when we sing antiphonally, we ask, “What kind of love is this?”Not was, but is. A continual, unconditional love. A love that qualifies us to walk in the domain …

Tonight Tony and I were putting the top up on the Cabrio, and my finger got caught in the mental hinge. Tony was trying to lock his side down and I’m just screaming! Good bit of pain for about 20 minutes. My finger had a metal bar imprint and there’s bleeding under the nail. It hurts to type. Poor finger. …

Dad and Tony are spending Valentine’s Day with me. I’m blessed. Dad had some business in South Florida, so he stopped for the night at Hotel Hauck. We are having fun talking about the Lord, and trying to understand the depths of Luke 24:31. We went to the gym this morning. It’s was couples day and we didn’t know. A …

Lynn Coleman, Lousie Gouge and Eva Marie Everson and I had a booksigning in Orlando at Long’s Bookstore today. What fun! I roped Sheree into going with me. She took the pics. We met a lot of really nice people and had fun talking about writing and publishing. Eva, Me, Louise, Lynn Talking with a new friend On the way …

Write two lines, stare out the window, write two more lines, look up and think I’m sure so-n-so and so-n-so would write this story better than I am. Let one of the dogs out. Write a sentence, pause to worry about next book. Let the other dog out. Write more. Throw a log on the fire. Wish I was Tracey …

Sitting in IHOP Saturday morning, Tony and I did the “old married couple thing” and sat at breakfast reading. He, a Sci-Fi on his palm, me, the Florida Today (which I read once a year, maybe.) Waiting for my eggs and ‘cakes, I flipped to the comics. What? What’s this? Cathy got married! Cathy, the single, career woman’s comic icon, …

We’re home from vacation. Got in this afternoon. I’ve already vaccumed and mopped, unpacked, emailed, and am now blogging. (This one’s for you, Chris.) It’s simply a beeeaauutiful central Florida day… not! It’s cloudy and raining… and what IS that smell in my house? I cannot figure it out. Part musty, part stank. Anyway, I cleaned (sorta) so I’ll have …
