MONDAY MEANDERINGS #31 – 2026

I am doing a happy dance for the blessed rain we received this past week! It's a welcome break from the brutal heat and long drought. I'm sure we'll have some hot days ahead here and there, but it feels like the spell is broken. I am so thrilled to have gotten "Painting Christmas" up …

Greetings, friends!! Guess what? I'm not going to talk about the weather today. 🙂 Aren't you glad I'm giving that a rest? What I am going to talk about is writing THE END to Painting Christmas, my novella! Of course, I'm not actually finished, but at least it's ready for editing, tweaking and all that …

Monday Meanderings #20 – 2026

I'm late with this post, but returned home last night. Still, I want to say hello and share. You may remember last week I shared I was going to visit with my brother who lives in Katy, Texas, near Houston. He is eighty-five, so ten years older than me. He's always been a hard worker …

Hello, everyone! Boy, do I have a lot to meander about today. Are you shocked? Here in the south, fruit trees are starting to bud out. I think winter is over. We may have another cold spell but no more winter. Spring is a time of renewal and that is fitting for my newly designed …

It's Valentine's Day week. I love everything to do with love and not just on Valentine's Day, but if you have someone special to share it with, enjoy! It's Monday again, already. 🙂 I won't even say it. I was meandering through my own mind and found myself wondering why I have a strong tendency …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #4 2026

Happy Monday. The biggest theme of the day (for the past few days) is the weather. I took this photo from my balcony. That's ice, not snow. The entire area is a skating rink! I have a lot to talk about today. It's been a whirlwind of a week! Remember I've been looking at cars? …

Monday Meanderings #3 – 2026

I hate to say it, because it seems we all say it too much, but the days and weeks keep on zooming by. Time is a man-made illusion and yet something that rules our lives. Happy Monday! I had the inspiration this week for a new story. It's so exciting when that happens, isn't it? …

Monday Meanderings #1 2026

Hello, everyone! I'm back! While I enjoyed the blogging break, I'm happy to be back at it. I have a lot to catch you up on, but I'll try to be brief. The space between Thanksgiving and Christmas was nothing more than a blur. I worked a lot, but thankful for the opportunity. However, my …
