Every blogger should have at least one story about a dog, so here is mine. Oh, I’m sure she’s been in a few blogs when I wrote about our trip, but I haven’t shared this one since it only happened last night. Here is the layout: we have a walkway Read more…
I guess I used all my words up writing about my trip and besides nothing exciting was happening. Oops, shouldn’t have thought that because things started popping. My book 4 just came out. ‘Trouble at the Pond’. I love the cover from Keith Silvas and the illustrations are wonderful thanks Read more…
