As you can see from the smile on Miss Terry’s face, she’s a very happy lady. Why is she so happy? Well, she’s married to me. How could she not be happy? Actually, the truth is it’s because she got to do two of her favorite things yesterday – using tools to fix something and […]
After the usual routine yesterday morning of feeding critters, posting the blog to Facebook, and answering emails, we made a trip to Walmart to pick up a prescription. Back home, I spent some time doing research for the next book in the Tinder Street series while Terry did some banking and paperwork until it cooled […]
I know I’m beginning to sound like a broken record, but yesterday was another good writing day, 2,250 words in my new Tinder Street book, The War Years. Previous books in the series have run from a low of 96,842 words (A Changing World) to 105,823 (the first book in the series, Tinder Street). I […]

I’m back with more questions from blog readers about RVing, my writing activities, what’s happening in our lives since we hung up the keys, and all kinds of other things. While I try to answer all questions individually, I also share some here occasionally. Q. Now that you live in your “forever home” in the […]
Most of the western side of Alabama was under severe storm watches yesterday, including here in Pickens County. There was a tornado watch in effect from noon until 8 p.m., but thankfully, all we got was some rain. Like we needed more rain, right? Travis and Geli came over to be near our tornado shelter, […]
