The Writing Biz Meets Pop Culture
Since I’ve been gone so much the last few months, the junk mail has really piled up in the basket next to my desk. We toss the miscellaneous stuff in there with the expectation we’ll look through it on the weekends in case there’s something of interest in the myriad advertisements. Yesterday, I skimmed the [...]
I posted this on my other blog this morning so here it is again because I’m short of time, and I know some of you are wondering where I am. I’m here. I’m just overwhelmed with real life issues at the moment.
I know I’m going to catch flak for this one! However, I’ve been dealing [...]
This morning I was reading about the changing grocery shopping habits in the economic downsizing of America.
Apparently, more people are shopping in the grocery section of Walmart rather than in the Krogers, Safeways, and Whole Foods of the nation. Since there’s a general opinion that fresh produce purchased at Whole Foods is superior to that [...]
I’ll be honest. I didn’t watch the Olympics.
No, wait. That’s not precisely true. I wanted to see some of the ice dancing and figure skating so I sat up one night and caught about a half hour of that. Loved the duo that ice danced to Phantom of the Opera music, and Joannie Rochette, who’d [...]
Today has been one of those days when I would rather have stayed in bed.
I drove home late Saturday night from the farm where I’d been working on cleaning out my late mother’s home. The seven hour drive was made bearable by the unabridged book on CD, Tomb of the Golden Bird by Elizabeth Peters [...]
William James said: “Acceptance of what has happened is the first step to overcoming the consequences of any misfortune.”
I guess my family and I are taking the first step to overcome the misfortune of our mom’s death. We’ve started cleaning out her house. I guess that’s acceptance. It’s been three weeks since her passing, and [...]

My mother passed away January 29, 2010. Since she hated to tell her age, I won’t tell it either. Let’s just say that she lived longer than the average person, but not as long as her father who made it to 100.
Born during the Roaring Twenties, Momma was a child of the Great [...]
Hello. I’m still alive. So is my Mom I’m happy to report. I’ve spent the last few days living at the ICU in a Shreveport, Louisiana, hospital, along with my brothers and their families and assorted cousins.
My Mom knocked on Heaven’s door, but they said: “Go away and come back later.”
The doctors officially said she [...]
I’ve wanted all week to tell you about an article I read in my local newspaper, but it’s been a busy week at the Reeves hacienda with lots of doctor appointments for my daughter. Houston is a big town, and it seems as if the doctors we must consult are at the opposite end from [...]
The Great Car War of 2010 is over, and we won. I guess. Maybe the dealership won. Who knows?
My car nut of a husband and I have been test driving vehicles of various persuasions for several weeks. We’d made the difficult decision to replace our very old 4-wheel drive Tahoe. It’s been a great vehicle [...]
