One of my oldest and dearest friends lost her father recently. It was a tragedy, not because he was young, but because he was the kind of father kids saw on television and never believed existed in real life. You know the kind of dad who takes time with their kids, actually acts like he likes them and their friends. That was him and then … Continue reading I’m Not Ready!
What animals make the best/worst pets? Ferrets were both the best and the worst pets. I loved them, they were funny little guys but they were smelly. I had to clean their habitat out every couple of days. They were nocturnal and wanted to play while the rest of us wanted to sleep. I think the biggest issue was they were more delicate creatures and … Continue reading Fun with Ferrets
I am not a big banana cake lover. My husband loves banana bread. To me it is usually dense and they always use overripe bananas. When a friend gave us a bunch of bananas too ripe for me to eat, I decided to make banana cake. I looked up a recipe online, The Best Banana Cake I’ve Ever Had by Sally McKenney, but of course … Continue reading Banana Cake
We’ve just finished with Valentines and spring, also known as wedding season, is right around the corner. As a romance writer I wonder what other people consider romantic. I don’t believe romance is one size fits all. Some couples thrive by sharing their love of movies or antique shopping, others need the exhilaration of zip-lining and skydiving, but whether you share the love of cooking … Continue reading What is Romance?
I love names. I often ask people their names and the origins of their names because I find it interesting. I love names with stories like my friend who was named for her great aunt or the one who was named after his father’s father having the number IV (four) after his name. Names have power, they can even make you feel things, especially if … Continue reading Name the Band
What Is Your Story? Or should I ask, what genre is your story? Today I’m sitting in an airport waiting for my flight. Anyone who travels often will tell you much of traveling involves waiting. Much of life involves waiting but it is what we do and who we meet while we are waiting that makes our story more interesting. Life is an adventure. Somedays … Continue reading What is Your Story?
My dear friend, when they told me you were gone, I couldn’t believe it. You were always so strong, so fierce, able to face anything that came your way. You couldn’t be gone. It was too soon. I have so many questions. We were supposed to get together, and you were going to share your stories. So many stories. You lived an interesting life, a … Continue reading On Your Birthday
Flowers Tell a Story Flowers tell a story and before you make that purchase, do you know your loved one’s favorite flower or the one that brings back bad memories? My favorite flower is the orange tiger lily that grows wild along the ditch banks. It reminds me of summer, running barefoot and free. It represents home, eastern North Carolina where the land and water … Continue reading Flowers and Memories
