Photo by Jenna Hamra on Pexels.com We've been enjoying a nice dry spell on the Pacific West Coast, but the temperatures are chilly overnight making a warm fire, cozy blanket, and a four-legged heating pad extra comforting.

Photo by Jill Wellington on Pexels.com We're getting a rare snowstorm on Vancouver Island today, a perfect time to sit with an enjoyable book and a cup of hot chocolate with a dash of Kahlua!

Photo by hiwa talaei on Pexels.com I've come down sick with a cold/flu and yes, I'm a big baby, lol. I'm sorry I haven't been keeping up with commenting or your blogs. Hopefully, this will be a short-lived thing or hubby might throw me under the trailer 🙂 The two reads I want to share …

Autumn #BookReviews include #Timetravel and #historical @Sandra_Cox @TeaganGeneviene, @KrisMcMorris


It's only two days until my book release day and I'm nervous about how it will be received. It's deeper and more emotional than anything I've previously written. While there is a romantic storyline the main focus is between two sisters who have gone through a traumatic event, damaging their relationship. Whether it's because of …

Catching up on my #NetGalley #BookReviews @Darynda @RKapelkeDale, Betty Webb


Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com The fun of growing all of your plants in containers is the ability to move them whenever you want to refresh the garden. Some need either more or less lighting, others become too large for their environment, and then some show off their best colors in the fall and deserve …

Photo by Min An on Pexels.com I apologize for disappearing from visiting blogs and answering your comments. After a bad fall a couple of weeks ago, I suffered days of headaches, body pains, and raccoon eyes. It was the last that worried a medic at my husband's job site. He said because it took a …

Time Travel #Mystery and Suspense #BookReviews @Sandra_Cox @Becca_Zanetti @CarlaNeggers


This week got off to a rough start; I took a header in the garden and smashed into a decorative rock. Yes, it hurt right away 🙂 My daughter and grandson left for New Zealand Monday. As many of you know, she's moving toward her doctorate in biology and was accepted to a university in …

This week it's my daughter's *** birthday! It seems like yesterday that I was teaching her to walk and now she's a mother with an almost-grown son of her own. Where does the time go? This is one of my favorite pictures of her as a baby- isn't she cute? 🙂 I've read a couple …

End of June #BookReviews from @dlfinnauthor @Becca_Zanetti @janet_gover @cryanhyde @WordDreams


The past week has kicked my butt. It's hot and muggy in my area, which makes doing anything indoors a chore. We have AC on the fifth wheel but prefer not to use it unless we have to, which means opening windows in hopes of a breeze and setting up fans to stir the air. …
