Writerly Wednesday- Meanderings- Of What Remains #ideas #writing #inspiration
Tucked away on one of the country byways of Kentucky is a small abandoned house with a triple window arch centered on the front side, shattered glass panes in those windows and the ones on the ground floor, the tin roof is rusted red and the exterior walls are dingy greenish gray and as weather-beaten as a grizzled old man who once worked in those nearby fields, raising tobacco or corn or cows under the blazing hot sun to supply his family with food, clothing, shelter.
The trees and shrubs and...

#SCENTsational Saturdays- Johnson's Softwash
I have such a hard time finding body washes that don't irritate my skin. I want to smell good and feel good, but at what cost?
One body wash I have found that isn't too bad is Johnson's Softwash that I buy for my daughter. It has a very light fragrance and it does moisturize my skin, leaving it smooth rather than dry and itchy. And it lathers good. That's always a plus.

Even small towns hide secrets…
When Lissa Williams loses both her job as editor of a hard-hitting news magazine, and her fiancé, in a one-two punch, she doesn’t plan to compound her troubles by first getting drunk and then into a sexy stranger’s bed. Nor does she expect to wind up in the tiny hamlet of Oslo, West Virginia, three months later, after her best friend is carjacked and left to die. Her shock at realizing that the first person she meets in...

Time Flies...We Haven't Killed Each Other Yet... #Marriage #Love #Anniversary
"Sometimes I wonder if men and women really suit each other. Perhaps they should live next door and just visit now and then.”
Katherine Hepburn
Eleven years ago my husband and I met via one of those online dating sites in April 2001. Family and friends worried about me meeting some stranger who lived so far away from my hometown. We continued talking and chatting and by Labor Day weekend that year I had moved in, but it wasn't until June 7, 2002 that we said I do- Today marks our 10th annivers...

♫Stranded at the #drive-in...branded a fool..." A #family fun first...

This past Saturday night my husband and I did something together we've never done. It was actually really special and different. Of course, I'd never done it before at all with anyone, but he had a lot of times in his life. I mean, he did it with his parents and his friends, and now we've shared the experience with our kids.
We took the kids to see movies at the drive-in.
(Yeah, I can't get "Sandy" or Joh...

#SCENTsational Saturdays- The Way to a Man's ♥- Meatballs
The Way to a Man's ♥Heart♥ Homemade Meatballs
In my current work-in-progress, Perfect Recipe for Love, Ben runs a restaurant called "Ben There, Ate That" and in one scene, he and the heroine, Sunni, are at the restaurant where she's learning the ropes about cooking. I attribute this very same recipe of mine, to Ben, as he explains to Sunni about growing up with four brothers and a single mom. His creativity in the kitchen had always been a blessing, as his meatball recipe stretched the meat jus...
