Much of yesterday was spent getting my author’s newsletter announcing my new book, Big Lake Ranger, sent out to my subscribers, sending out announcements about the new book to different people, and posting in various social media groups for mystery readers. There were also a lot of e-mails to deal with, including one from the […]
For the most part, the most part, Florida has been experiencing a drought for the last couple of years, with rainfall averages being considerably less than normal. As I’ve said many times, here at our place in Edgewater it’s even worse because the storms always seem to split when they get to us, dumping lots […]
I had high hopes for our SimpliSafe home security system when we bought it, but as it turns out, it’s pretty much worthless. Over and over again when I arm the system I get a message warning me that there is no link to the dispatch center. When I call, after being on hold for […]
Yesterday was a busy day for us though we never left the motorhome. Which was fine because it was a rainy day and not really good for playing tourist anyway. I worked on book projects most of the day and well into the evening. The first order of business was uploading Big Lake Scandal, my […]
Congratulations Carol Zack, winner of this week’s drawing for an audiobook of Big Lake, the first book in my Big Lake mystery series. We had 180 entries in this week’s contest. Stay tuned, because a new contest starts soon. As I wrote in the blog a few days ago, somebody had started a rumor that […]
Our two weeks at Santa Fe RV Park in Apache Junction went by in a blur, between running back and forth to the hospital to be with our friends Sharleen and Jim, dealing with the major discomfort of the Fluorouracil treatment on my face, and working on the new issue of the Gypsy Journal. We […]
We spent the last three winters in Florida and shivered while our friends in Arizona gloated about how warm and sunny it was. So we decided to spend this winter in Arizona, where yesterday the high in Apache Junction was 54 degrees. Meanwhile, somebody e-mailed from Wildwood, Florida yesterday to tell me it was 84 […]
I wrote in yesterday’s blog that after being at the hospital the last few days with our friends Sharleen and Jim, we planned to stay home and play catch up, after we slept in. Yeah, well that didn’t work out exactly as planned! I had a restless night because of the burning itch all over […]
Congratulations to the winners of this week’s drawing for the CD He Came – The Gospel of Christmas by the Boggs Family Ministries. The five lucky winners are Candace Rivero, Steven Malcolm, Joyce Space, Bob Jae, and Sally Daniels. Stay tuned, a brand new drawing starts Wednesday! If you are squeamish, I apologize in advance […]
So what’s worse than getting up at 7 o’clock in the morning? Getting up at 7 o’clock in the morning on another gray, ugly day. Yeah, that’s what it was again yesterday. (Heavy sigh.) Here are a couple of pictures taken in the early afternoon to give you a feel for the place. People here […]
Yesterday morning started out with lots of blue sky and Terry said it might be a good day for a walk on the beach. But within an hour the fog rolled in and the rest of the day was the dreary gray we’ve had for the last week. In fact, quite often we’d look out […]
One of the best things about the RV lifestyle is the opportunity it affords us to visit with so many different kinds of people. Over the years we have connected with long lost relatives, old high school friends, and Army buddies from a lifetime ago. We’ve also been able to make lots of new friends […]
I have wonderful news! Terry’s dad’s surgery was yesterday morning and the doctor said that there was no cancer at all! Up until Friday afternoon they were saying it was cancer, possibly a return of the bladder cancer he had a few years ago. But once they did the surgery they said it was an […]
