Writer’s Block and How I Do or Do Not Deal – Part 1
Writer’s block – the art of turning “not” writing into a sport. Procrastination becomes your companion. Ideas of things to write about become things to do instead.

Embracing Fun and Friendship on Our Texas Road Trip
Happy Sunday! This was a great weekend. My sweetheart and I went to visit some friends in Texas. He is a gamer (I am too just not as much), and they all play several games together online. Once a year, they have an in-person get-together, and this year, we were able to join in. They […]
