MONDAY MEANDERINGS #28 2026

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 #27 – 2026

Hello, friends! Wow! What a crazy few days I've had. Thank goodness I only turn 75 once. 🙂 AND, the heat persists. We are now on our 29th day of triple digits. Back in 2011, this area set a record of over 70 days straight. I was living in Colorado that year, so I missed …

Monday Meanderings #26 -2026

Hello, friends. It's been another full week of triple digit temps and honestly, there is no end in sight. Maybe by the end of next month. I'm hoping! The book festival in Greenville, Tx yesterday was really good. There were lots of people milling about and I sold a good amount of books. Besides that, …

Oh my goodness, it's HOT in Texas. We are melting. Come on Fall! Yes, the temperatures are lingering in the triple digits daily. I know we should never be surprised, but it catches me off guard every year. I'm SO ready for my favorite time of year, autumn! I'll rant just a little. I've been …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #23 – 2026

Hello, friends. Thank you for joining me for another ramble. This week leads us up to the 4th of July in America. But to be honest, I don't feel much like celebrating. I'll just leave it at that. This past week was a rollercoaster on steroids. It started out with the road trip. My three …

MONDAY MEANDERINGS #22 – 2026

Hello, friends. Yesterday was the Summer Solstice, and I found this image to reflect that. I had an extremely busy week (what else is new?), right? Still, this one was even busier than usual. My granddaughter closed out the dance season with three nights of recital. The whole event was so incredibly uplifting. These kiddos …

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, beautiful souls! Happy first day of June! I have a lot of meandering to do today, so I hope you'll hang with me. Whew! Where to start? I suppose the best place to start is with the wonderful visit to see my sister! It is a five hour drive to her house, but it …
