Edge of Spring
The weather couldn’t make it’s mind up this week as we teeter on the edge of spring in Minnesota. We started the week with rain and thunder that turned into flurries. Those flakes snowballed until they coated the melting brown covering the lawns and sides of the streets. I live here and I wanted toContinue reading “Edge of Spring”
Writing Twists
Seeing the ballet over the weekend had me think about curses. What if you were turned into a swan and couldn’t talk to the person you loved or had a crush on?

Dancing Swans
This weekend our date night started out with a delicious new place, The Capital Grille, in downtown Minneapolis.

His movements cried high wait staffContinue reading “Dancing Swans”
A Night At the Theater
Date night is here and I’m spending the day pampering myself until it’s time to put on my lipstick and heels.

I’m slippingContinue reading “A Night At the Theater”
Dreaming Awake
The clock kept ticking faster and faster as the day moved into the evening and I couldn’t catch my breath on the hamster wheel.

My Late Valentine
Last night, my late Valentine, browsed the book shelves again with as me as I snapped photos of the covers that I wanted to put in my decision list before I buy. My eyes went back and forth, over and over. I turned to my husband and said, “I can’t decide! There’s too many books!”Continue reading “My Late Valentine”
Chocolate Break
All this talk of publishing and book marketing sent my mind into a spin. I still have one book to go and I’m trying to hang onto my brain before it sputters to a stop.
