So where do you fit in your family dynamics? Are you a first-born—responsible, helping your folks keep track of the younger rug-rats; a middle-kid—occasionally feeling lost in the shuffle; the baby—sometimes spoiled, sometimes resentful that everyone treats you like an infant; or are you an only child?
If you’re the one and only, do you wish [...]

Hope you had a fabulous Halloween!
In this country, Halloween is a celebration of costumes, candy, and good spirits, but did you know that Samhain (Halloween’s Celtic name) represents the dawn of a New Year? Out with the old, in with the new!
So to modern day followers of Samhain…Happy New Year!
We had a great Halloween last [...]

I’m in the middle of changing my living arrangement in order to give one of my “chicks” some temporary support, so perhaps today’s Tuesday Cuteness was inevitable…
Mother love…is sometimes beyond definition! *LOL*
Happy Tuesday, one and all!

I come from a horse-loving family. My dad raised, trained, and raced harness horses. As a hobby while I was young, and then as his profession once he retired from the day-job. Horses filled my early life. Their care, their health, their breeding, their potential…
I never learned to ride. Standardbred aren’t riding horses, and it [...]

Who says the universe doesn’t have a sense of humor? At any other [...]

Medical science + the wonders of the human body = a beautiful, round, baby skull.
Hallelujah!

Shhh…I’m going into “stealth mode” for the next week.
Creep carefully around corners; crawl up hillsides with special services stealth; use hand signals instead of voice. Be safe in my absence, dragon lovers.
Shhh…We’ll meet back here on March 24th for a new Tuesday Cuteness.
Don’t miss the rendezvous!

Have you ever noticed that the subconscious / muse is a funny entity? Wouldn’t you think that if you KNEW something subconsciously, you could just…I dunno…TELL your conscious self about it?
I was writing along great guns for the first three weeks of January. Meeting my goals every day, making excellent progress on my urban fantasy [...]

Every family has its unique talents and abilities. A love of words seems to run in my family. My mother wrote narrative verse, I write stories, my son writes songs, and one of my brothers writes amazing poetry.
Meet my brother…Mike Logan, cowboy poet extraordinaire and resident of Helena, Montana. A few years ago, Mike was [...]

My third grandchild was born yesterday at 4:19 pm Pacific Time. Darling Daughter had a successful home birth with a water delivery.
Liam was 9 lbs 6 oz and 20.25 inches and my lovely daughter delivered him with no medication and no tearing. How awesome is that? DD is a SUPERSTAR!
