Your Pet/ PUSSN BOOTS!
Lori, owner of the lovely “tuxedo” cat in our photo today, named him Pussn Boots after the children’s story. I’m sure Lori’s kitten is a swashbuckling fellow. I remember my mom reading that story to us as children and how much I loved hearing about that brave cat’s adventures. But I have to admit that…
About Cooking
I love to cook. I didn’t always love to cook, mostly because I burned or ruined everything I tried to make, but my mother-in-law was a patient and gentle instructor, and eventually I learned. I still can ruin a dinner, but it doesn’t happen as often as it used to. This Thanksgiving I will cook…

Small Joys–Heritage Gifts

Nobody cares about her broken past…
Small Joys – The Catch!
I’ve decided to start a blog series–Small Joys–dedicated to seeing life through optimistic eyes. My husband demonstrated his ability to see the good in a tough situation when he came home from an afternoon fishing trip with a hook embedded in his finger. (Yep, a trip to the ER.) His comment? “At least I caught…
Hi Mary! How great to connect here with you! Thank you for your kind words about my books. I’m glad that big black cloud didn’t come your way. My husband and I were once upon a time in Austin for a book signing and just fell in love with your beautiful city. I’ll send you three feet of snow if you want it!! We have that much to spare!
Hi Sue,
I’ve admired your work for years and am happy to find your website and blog! Temperature at 5 PM in Austin, Tx is 89. Big, black cloud just east of here, but we’re not getting it.
YAY! So glad to hear that you are getting hints of spring, Suzanne!!
It’s 25 and and sunny this morning. It is suppose to hit a high of 40 but clouds and snow showers move in this evening. At least it’s heading toward spring here!
