Kenny and I were planning to go to the gun show at the Show Low Elks Lodge yesterday, but it turned out to be a family affair. Tiffany wanted to go with us, and then granddaughter Hailey called to say she would meet us at the lodge with grandbaby Tyler. And just as we all […]
It’s going to be a writing kind of weekend. Not me writing but hanging out with other writers. Today is the Arizona Professional Writers third annual White Mountain Book Festival, which will be held at the Show Low Elks Lodge, only a couple of blocks from our house. They were sold out with 67 authors coming […]
Yesterday we had a visit from Ed Hackenbruch, an old friend from our days as full-time RVers. I can’t remember exactly when we first met Ed and his wife Stevi, but it was back when we had our MCI bus conversion, and at the same time they also lived and traveled in an MCI bus. […]
Yesterday, our granddaughter Destiny graduated from the cosmetology program at Northland Pioneer College. She did it while also attending her senior year of high school, which she will graduate from on the 21st. We are so proud of this hard-working, motivated young lady. She sets goals, and she does the work to accomplish them. We […]

It’s been cold and rainy here in northern Arizona. In fact, they had snow in Pinetop-Lakeside, about 10 miles from us. I highly disapprove. Besides a fair amount of sniveling, I’ve been spending the time working on my next book, Big Lake Reckoning. I wrote a little over 3,200 words yesterday, which takes me about […]
Yesterday morning bright and early I was parked at the Camping World in Mesa, Arizona letting their service people know that I was not pleased with their installation of our new tires in February, and that I wanted them to replace the valve stems and the valve stem extensions on both inner dual wheels. Ever […]
So much for that little ditty “April showers bring May flowers.” Yesterday, May 1st, it snowed on us (again) in Show Low, Arizona. It was just flurries on and off, but it was still snow! I highly disapprove! We were out and about all day long, and it was darned chilly! Our pals Don and […]
