I'm breaking from the mystery theme of the month today but this was on my mind. A few days ago, I received a phone call from my brother. The conversation began with something like this: "I know it was around this time of year..." He didn't have to finish the sentence for me to know... Continue Reading →
Best Laid Plans #ThursdayThoughts
Hey y’all. It's time for this week's Thursday Thoughts. Like many of today’s writers, I also hold a full-time job. I leave the house around 6:30 each weekday morning and get home around 4:30 unless I have errands to run. My husband works on Saturdays, and I try to use that day as my primary... Continue Reading →

Hey, y’all. Yes, I’ve gone from rarely blogging to a regular schedule. I had planned to leave Thursdays open, but yesterday an idea came to mind - Thursday Thoughts.

Reunions, Staycations, and The Week in Review
Last Saturday, my husband and I attended a reunion. A very special reunion. Attendees came from all walks of life and were of various ages. All were there to celebrate a special anniversary. For some, it was one year, others five-ten years, and still some celebrated twenty-plus years. Confused yet? In October 1993, my husband... Continue Reading →
Hazy Days, Fireworks, and The Week in Review
The Sarahan dust arrived in Texas last weekend and resulted in some hazy days. Okay, we have hazy days every summer but this is the first time I've heard it attributed to anything from Africa. Here in the US, we had a holiday - Independence Day. It's a time for backyard cookouts, boating and swimming,... Continue Reading →
The Week in Review
Happy Friday, Readers. Hope you've had a good week. Although summer hasn't officially arrived, if the upcoming weekend is any indication, Texas is in for a hot one. I'm making a concerted effort to blog more often. In addition to writing, I enjoy photography - especially nature photos. Due to health reasons, I'm not able... Continue Reading →
The Month That Was
September has arrived, leaving August a mere memory. And what a month it was—some good, some bad. August began with promise. My husband and I had just come off a week’s vacation. Although I’m a “mountain” person, we decided to go to the Texas coast this year. We spent two nights in Corpus Christi in... Continue Reading →
