Here we are on Day Two with soon to be published author Ann Shorey. Her historical series will be releasing soon from Revell. She’s yet another of our Oregon friends. If you look back and forth between these pictures, who can see everyone at the same time. One of the highlights of the conference was […]
ACFW: Day One
I didn’t get many pictures the first day, mainly because we were traveling/tired, but I did manage to snap a few of Mom and I on the planes. Last year I had gotten two hours of sleep the morning before we left because I didn’t think printing would take as long as it did. This […]
A Winner!
Just got back Sunday night from the ACFW conference in MN. I’ll start my daily rehash of the previous week’s matching day tomorrow. Okay, that sounds extremely complicated! What it means, translated into understandable language is this: I’ll blog tomorrow about the Wednesday before it. Um …. not sure that’s much better. Maybe you should […]
What Did My Husband Do?
Here’s a video of Tim Hawkins singing about having a long and happy life. I’m going to link a little contest to this: if you can correctly guess which of these things my husband has done, I will send you a little prize. Not sure what, as I want to find something ironically appropriate. Also, […]
The Chicken or the Egg?
23 or 26? Mayo or butter? I’m such a goober. The capacity of my brain rarely disappoints, with the exception of two things. One doesn’t matter much. The other makes me wonder if I have too much testosterone. 🙂 First, the big one, is that I often can’t remember when my anniversary is. Isn’t that […]
Chance to Win Three Books!
I wanted to let you all know about a new contest affiliated with our infrequent, humorous newsletter. Faithful blog reader and friend, Susan Reinhardt, is giving away three great books to anyone who signs up for the newsletter and lists her as a referrer. (She’s also a faithful commenter … a quality every blogger loves.) […]
My Rant Against Sprint
I’ve had a terrible time getting a refund from Sprint. Normally, I would never think to blog about it, but Michael Hyatt did about his last horrible costumer service experience. Even if it doesn’t change anything, it makes me feel better. 🙂 Here’s what happened: I ordered a risk-free data card from Sprint on 6/10/08 […]
Adoptive Mom Calls with Update
It was a joy to hear the adoptive mom’s voice on the phone. I knew the boys had been home with them for four days and, of course, I wondered how things had gone. Right after the new parents had left with the boys, my mother asked if we’d be keeping in touch. “It’s up […]
Wanna Be Published?
Then hop on over to Mary DeMuth’s Wanna Be Published blog and see what excerpt from our newsletter she thought was worthy of posting. She’s got great resources for both fiction and non-fiction writers. Happy browsing!
Foster Boys Have Flown the Coop
I have an empty nest! After two months of little foster babies running around, the house is quiet. My own children started back to school today, also, but I’ve yet to experience any signs of child withdrawal. The boys met their new mom and dad yesterday. It just so happened that New Mommy’s birthday was […]
