EarthLink Internet to the Rescue!
For months now, I have a routine for writing. It works but not well. I pack up everything I need–phone, computer, mouse, plugs, extension cord, to name most of it–and go someplace to get on the internet. Oh, the places I’d go to find internet. Yes, trying to keep up with the world has been

Ten Early Bloomers for a Spectacular Show
I have about doubled my daily steps. Not long ago I was making a round or two in an effort to get 4,000 steps in. Each round gives me about 1,000 steps. To entertain myself, I enjoy the early bloomers that are in their full glory. It’s been a while since I invited you on my

Take a Walk with Me
I try to walk every day. Scratch that. I manage to make myself walk a couple of days a week. It’s a boring activity that gets me nowhere. I mean, maybe if I had somewhere to go. But anyway. I walk around our property and try to amuse myself along the way. These are a

CFAL Exhibit — More of Louisiana’s Many Stories
Earlier this week I posted half of the “Louisiana Stories” photos that Richard took at the Contemporary Fiber Artists of Louisiana reception in Baton Rouge. It was awfully sweet of him to take pictures while he waited around for a couple of hours. Having food at the reception may have helped, however. Regardless, I appreciate

Jolie Graduates from Bunkie High School
Graduation Jolie is our fourth grandchild; Will and Stacey’s baby. She is beautiful, funny, smart, and has the undeniable ability to drive everyone around her crazy. Stacey says she’s just like me, so I guess that means some good and some bad and some I-don’t-know-what-to-do-with-you. She turned 18 in February, graduated Friday, and is ready

Book Discussion Questions for This World So Fierce
Chapter 1: How did you feel about the characterization of Bud and Molly? Are they believable? Do you think that a couple could provide a foster home like theirs? Chapter 2: How do you feel toward Mike Turnat? Do you see him as a protagonist or antagonist? Why? Do you think he could become a
