10 Truths & 2 Lies – TAKE TWO!

Last time I was traveling, I did a fun filler post called 10 Truths & 2 Lies. Well, I’m traveling again! (Actually I just claim I’m traveling because this type of post was so much fun last time that I just really want to do it again.) This week I’m attending the Realm Makers… Continue reading

Because life wasn’t busy enough writing books and editing books and celebrating anniversaries and going on cruises I thought you should know . . . WE’VE MOVED! We = hubby and me. And our lemon tree. (We don’t have pets.) Oh, and this happened yesterday. That’s . . . just . .… Continue reading
