I delayed this post a little to ensure Valerie Comer got top billing for the full day. Did you buy her book yet? Please go do that now. Go ahead. I’ll wait. Nothing we’ve done with the property over the last month is that pressing. We’ve been keeping the grass … Continue reading →
In a post of firsts, today we have a guest. I’m interviewing debut novelist Valerie Comer, here to talk about Choose NOW Publishing’s release of Valerie’s Raspberries and Vinegar. Valerie, I’ve always enjoyed your work, and I’m so pleased to see you becoming published, first in last year’s geocacheing lead-off … Continue reading →
Valerie Comer‘s Raspberries and Vinegar releases today (at least, I think it’s today — it’s already shipping from Amazon). Valerie’s motto is “Where Food and Faith meet Fiction” and it’s spawned a new genre called Farm Lit. Raspberries and Vinegar is the first in a three book series about three … Continue reading →

I’m going to reflect a little bit on both this month. Specifically, the bulk of my on-line writing community experience has been with Forward … Continue reading →
We’re having an unbelievably slow year for property progress this year. Here’s what can be attributed to the last month for the various properties: Central Texas House: Yard work with a very little decluttering. Mr. L assembled his jig for making rosettes, and began making them. He has nine blanks, … Continue reading →
I try to take a photo of the Central Texas house each March (we closed on the house in March, 2007). This year, I’m a few months late. We did get the mailbox post painted with the house numbers affixed. We still haven’t replaced the front steps, and some trimming … Continue reading →
I couldn’t begin to tell you what’s going on with the cats this week. I’m in Ohio for my 35th Class Reunion tonight, and they are still in Texas, terrorizing our veterinary clinic. Well, I hope they aren’t really terrorizing the clinic. I love my vet and her staff, so … Continue reading →
