ALL WHO WANDER ARE NOT LOST.
I'm beginning to feel Christmasy, and I hope I continue to do so.
Soon, I'm going to make cut-out Christmas cookies, which I haven't done since around 2013. I'll post photos when I do. Probably next weekend.
We've had such warm temperatures, it doesn't feel like December, so baking cookies should keep me feeling Christmasy!
I hope everyone is well. We've been doing pretty good.
Bye for now!
I apologize for not posting anything since October 5th!
All I can offer for a reason is just being too busy.
Below are just a few of my favorite Thanksgiving Day images.
My favorite plate of my Four Freedoms collection.
No words needed!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you!!
(I'm thankful for my friends.)
Hey everyone! I honestly can't believe the last time I posted anything here was July!
I'm fine. My family is fine. Work is fine. Green Kitty is fine.
My excuse for not posting is the usual...been working a lot and tired (therefore sleeping!) a lot.
I must share some of my favorite fall pictures and quotes below.
These pictures are all pretty old and you've probably seen them before, but aren't they pretty?
Well, this is all for now. I hope all of you are safe, healthy, happy, and enjoying where you are in life!
Okay...here is the explanation about Green Kitty's name! (At that time, various stray cats were coming to our front porch to eat food we put out for them, and some of them liked it so much they hung around a lot.) The other cats/kitties that visited much be feral cats because they've never let us get very close to them. We have a new little family that we're trying to get close and pet them, because they are adorable and we'd love for them to be adopted.)
Ron and I gave all the stray kitties various names so we'd know who was who! The guy below is Green Kitty. Then there was White Socks because he was mostly all black except for white on all four legs, that looked like socks.
Also, grey striped kitty.
Black and White kitty.
Etc.
Another visitor! We call this guy Green Kitty, because of his tiny green collar with a tiny bell. We found out he had an owner who moved away...and just left him!
I don't think I've written about "Green Kitty" on my blog. I've been spending too much time on Facebook again. I swear, I need to set a timer and when it goes off...so does Facebook!
There's so much news to share about this beautiful black kitty. I'm sure everyone is already thinking...Why is his name Green Kitty when he is obviously not green! May I just say for now, that it's kind of a long story, but I need to get back to my actual writing I'm doing! Yes, working on memoir sequel and stories for submissions to various places!!
I just had to buy this coffee mug at B&N because....well LOOK! Our kitty is this one's twin!
More to come soon, but I really have to do other stuff right now!
I stopped by the Barnes & Noble in St Peters, Missouri on the way home from work Thursday. My friend, Jo still works there part-time. That's where we met a "few" years ago.
My Chicken Soup for the Soul books arrived yesterday! Ron took some pics of me, and most of them weren't too awful. (I usually hate the way I look in pictures!)
This particular book would be a perfect gift for just about anyone. A belated Mother's Day gift, a birthday, graduation, a gift to yourself, etc. It's available online and in book stores.
Next week, someone from my local newspaper is going to interview me for an article next month. I'm still waiting to hear from a few other people, too.
Hello All ~
I'm still working 4 days a week & driving that long commute, but I really do love my job, so it's worth it.
Just stopping in to say Hello and I miss writing blog posts, reading blog posts, and staying up past 8:00 at night! Ha ha!
I AM writing again though, too, which feels so good!
Sending y'all hugs and hope everyone is well.
Chicken Soup for the Soul is publishing a special book "Chicken Soup for the Soul: Read, Laugh, Repeat" on May 4th as a fundraiser for nonprofits that provide love and laughter to patients in hospitals and hospice, from the very young to the very old.

I can't believe it's February 2021 and in a few hours, it will be Groundhog Day! I've posted before about the movie, with Bill Murray and Andie MacDowell. I just love this movie for so many reasons. Bill Murray's character is such a jerk in the first half or so of the movie, and then a transformation comes over him...because of what/who? Have you seen the movie? I've seen it a zillion times and it never gets old.
