Santa and I have a secret this year and thank goodness no one but he and I will ever know. Last year in January I borrowed a quilted wall hanging my friend, Elizabeth made that is an Advent Calendar. Okay, for an entire year I have been going to make six of them so I [...]
They were the good old days. We would load everyone into the old Studebaker and make the 20 mile trip to Salt Lake City (that in those days took close to an hour) to Grandma’s house for Thanksgiving. We put on our warmest clothes, our warm coats, and gathered blankets to wrap around us [...]
I just read a little book called, The Hundred Dresses, written by Eleanor Estes. I was surprised to see it had been written clear back in 1944. If you read it you will agree it is an ageless story that teaches a very important message. It only takes about a half an hour to read [...]

It’s been fun to watch Ande transition from a crab-like crawl to an upright walk. She’s mastered it in less than a week and acts like she’s been getting around that way all her life. Her little eyes sparkle and her smile takes over the whole bottom half of her face when she takes off [...]

Sometimes I’m dumb, and sometimes I’m dumber when I pull an all night session of novelling that ends just before the sun peaks over the east mountains. Today I was dumber. The inside of my ears sometimes get so infuriatingly itchy that that it is all I can do to keep myself from scratching at [...]
If you think you’re down, take a look at this uplifting link. It speaks for itself.
