My husband and I were driving near our home when we came across a field full of horses, all colors and many sizes. I’m not a great rider, but I love horses. Seeing all those beautiful animals made me smile. Another thing that makes me smile is a great book, and we have two for you…

We’re in the midst of horse racing season. We’ve watched those incredible animals compete in the Kentucky Derby and the Belmont Stakes and the Preakness. All those “big” runs, and usually the last few lengths are the most exciting of each race. If you’ve been working on YOUR Novel since I started these Monday posts you…
Wild Word Friday! I remember hearing as a child that the forbidden fruit eaten by Adam and Eve was an APPLE. Actually, I think my source for this misinformation was a coloring page for Sunday School of Adam and Eve strategically placed among leaves and bushes with APPLEs in their hands. I even remember contemplating that perhaps…
Yesterday we had the joy of visiting with friends from New Jersey. Actually, Karen has been a friend for a long time, but this was our first opportunity to meet her husband Fred and to catch up on all the news about their incredible and newly blended family. It was a great visit. Fred and my husband…

Wild Word Friday! A few years also, a friend of mine attended her granddaughter’s kindergarten graduation. During the ceremony, each child had a mini interview. The question asked was “What do you want to be when you grow up.” My friend’s granddaughter answered, “A princess,” which made the audience laugh and the girl’s mother groan….
Congratulations to our friends Greenstone and Thimbleberry who have passed the 500 mile mark on their Appalachian Trail walk! Congratulations to you both, and to Leanne and Steve who joined them this past week for a portion of that walk. That’s really friendship! (Neil and I love you guys, but don’t plan on seeing us until…
Wild Word Friday! In the spring, if you drive out into the country, you may see them in the ditches and the fields. I’m talking about those large bunches of showy yellow flowers that we call marsh marigolds or COWSLIPS. I’m told that in the British Isles COWSLIPS are a similar flower to those we see…
