Frustrated with Amazon

I love reviews. Good ones, bad ones, criticizing ones, and helpful ones. It’s been 3 months since I hit the ‘publish’ button for “Wisps of Words” And the reviews are slow to come in and I was wondering why. Then last week my cousin Debbie texted me and said that a screen popped up and …

Sandi

After I wrote about Rocky and Athena, I wanted to do a follow-up, because there are always two sides to every story. Twelve years ago my son texted me a picture of his new puppy and the only reaction I had was, “Please tell me that’s not a pit bull.”    Many of us have …

My List of Buckets (My Bucket of Lists)

Oops! I got that backwards. It should say, My Bucket List. I was reading license plates while stuck in traffic a couple of weeks ago and the car’s plate in front of me had the letters, VOP and I pointed it out to my son and told him that my POV is backwards.    Anyway, …

Faith, Effort, Persistence

I don’t know what I was reading yesterday. It might have been one of my horoscopes, but these three words came up; Faith, Effort, and Persistence. And they made perfect sense to me. It doesn’t matter what we are going through in life or if we are struggling with problems, or maybe we are just …

Help! I’ve Got Fleas!

Not me actually, but my dogs do. And I’ve tried just about everything except… My son called me last night and I told him my dogs have fleas and he told me, “So get rid of them.” “What, the dogs? Okay, I’ll send them down to you.” And he laughed. He’s probably tired of me …

Have you ever?

Googled your book, that is. My nephew asked me that question yesterday. Then he asked, “Would it show up on Google?” “It should.” I told him. “Okay, give me a title to one of your books.” And I told him, “Kiley’s Best Friend”  and this is what he found! https://www.walmart.com/ip/Kiley-s-Best-Friend/695212619 (The photo is mine, not …

Lets Cut Costs!

Okay, so I’ve decided to cut the cord. Actually, I cut it months ago. My phone, TV, and internet was up to $195.00 a month. That’s outrageous! So I canceled the TV and phone. Yeah, right. Like I can get by with no TV. Ha! I picked up a Roku and I got a free …

Yes, I Can!

When our kids are young we teach them that they can be anything they want to be. We encourage them to try new things. (Even that yucky piece of green broccoli on their plate.) We inspire them. At least we hope we do. But what about ourselves? We procrastinate. We hesitate. We doubt our own …

Back to Basics

I love to make things, create things, and grow things. Last week was a good week for doing everything. First, I made two pints of yogurt. Love homemade yogurt. I’ve been growing pickling cucumbers, so I’ve made a couple of quarts of refrigerator pickles. The recipe I used is here. And I’ve got my radish …
