Puppy and a Promise
In a recent Facebook post, I mentioned listening to Reba McEntire songs, and I promised an explanation. Well… In 3-4 weeks, Hubs and I will be traveling to Alberta to collect our new family member. She’s an English Pointer, and though we haven’t determined yet which one of the six female puppies born into a …

A Research Hook
I think I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I enjoy most about writing historical romance–besides the writing–is the research.

A Covid-19 Degree More Difficult
I lost a step yesterday. Monday, I woke up with more energy than I had in months since taking on MIL’s fulltime care. I got out for a run, I bought a coffee, and I savoured the sunshine and budding trees as I power walked home. Tuesday, my cat died, for all intent and purpose, …

Carpe Diem
This week came news from our Provincial government that strict Covid-19 social distancing measures may remain in place through the summer, and I just shrugged. Our sons’ University Convocation, and celebratory family BBQ, is scheduled for mid-June. Hubs and I celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary in August; we booked a family trip to see Garth …
