First off, sorry I missed the check in on Sunday. I didn’t get back from St. Paul until late, and Row80 completely slipped my mind. I had a great trip and got a lot accomplished. My friend (who is a writing/reading prof and a writer herself) and I spent a lot of time on the … Read the rest →
Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos from Thriller Thursday. I hope you’re still able to enjoy them!

Welcome to winter in Iowa. If you can’t tell, I detest it. Yes, snow’s pretty. Then the dogs go out and decorate … Read the rest →

I’m still playing catch up from my days out of town, so you can imagine the harried state I’ve been in the past few days. Blogs to write, to read and comment on, not to mention those little things called editing and writing. Organization isn’t my forte (at ALL), but I’m learning. I decided the … Read the rest →
Happy Monday! Many of you know I just got back from a trip visiting family in Indianapolis, but must don’t know the reason for the trip. My brother (age 50) has been battling stage 4 throat cancer for nearly eighteen months. He initially went through chemo, then radiation until the growth had shrunk enough for … Read the rest →
