Hoyt’s Hotel

My hometown changed in the twenty-five years I was away. The grocery store where I got my first job burned down. We can’t drop by the Tastee Freeze anymore on hot summer days to have chocolate-dipped soft ice cream cones delivered to the car. The post office is no longer squeezed into a narrow space [...]

PROMO! Does it work?

Ack! I’ve not done a blog in a while and I almost forgot. Well, I did forget, but I didn’t forget for long. But still, I LOVE having guests visit the blog. My credit card is hurting from all the books I’ve been snapping up by our guests. Good for them. Not so much for [...]

Trying New Things

Do you like trying new things?  Before the end of last year, I never wanted to try new things.  I wasn’t fond of change.  However, I LOVE it now!  I open my arms and welcome whatever may change or happen!  Even if it is something tragic, something(s) good is going to happen during or after that tragic circumstance.  [...]

“If You Know What You Want, You Can Have it!”

Now that sounds easy enough…Not! A long, draining, busy week has come and gone and I’m not exactly sure I accomplished everything I set out to do.  It’s getting really scary.  I’m having the worst time remembering things lately. One example – I had to cancel my credit card Friday because I have no idea [...]

*waves*

Hi all! It seems like forever since I’ve just written a blog post! Today isn’t my day, but there seems to be a bit of a snag with our Friday blogger, so I’ll just pop in here in the mean time to give a little snack update on me! I have been a busy, busy [...]

The Officer’s Girl

THANK YOU to all who bought Leigh’s book. That’s a wonderful stat for a first time author. Share this: [...]

Chick With A Charm – A Review!

When I was growing up, I wanted to be Samantha Stevens. Well, I probably would have chosen a different “Darin” but ohmy… to have those powers. I bet most people my age tried to wiggle their noses like Samantha could. If you don’t know who or what I’m talking about, it’s Bewatched…witch married to mortal, and the [...]

Grandparents Are Cherished

Do you treasure moments with your grandparents?  I never realized how special mine were to me were until the last years of their lives.  I cherished my time spent with them.  I lived one year with my grandmother before she died, and it made four years I lived with my grandfather before he passed.  I moved out [...]

Creativity

Are you stifling your creativity?  Being a mom is draining sometimes.  Throw in trying to write or have a career of any kind and it’s down right exhausting.  I’ve been blessed with the gift of being a stay at home mom.  A job all in itself, I assure you.  But I often wonder how on [...]
