Hump Day started the same as every day. A drive in the morning to drop off my husband at work. I always pass a row of trees near the road that hand over the end to shade the street like tall green umbrellas. For a few seconds, I felt like I was driving down aContinue reading “Spaghetti, Meatballs, and Rainbows”

Life Up North
The great fight of the North started at the beginning of the month. The cold of the night clings longer to the mornings and our temperatures have dipped. Those who live in California or down South already have on their Fall coats but not in Minnesota. We wear our shorts and run around in shortContinue reading “Life Up North”
Fall Is In Session!
The school year has officially started and summer ended after Labor Day. We are two months away from NaNoWriMO and my mind is on Preptober. The question is, am I going to do Preptober and Inktober? I bought my ink pad over the weekend to give it a try. I thought I would follow theContinue reading “Fall Is In Session!”
Labor Day!
The beginning of September begins with a long weekend before we swing into fall. Those in school get one more day off before classes begin. Stepping outside this week, a few days of summer warmth try to cling onto the new month but we dipped into the 70s this week with a few rainy days.Continue reading “Labor Day!”
Hallmark Season
This weekend in Minnesota is one of the last few at cabins on the lake for many people before they pull in their docks and store their boats.

It’s time for all of us to get back into our novels after some summer hiatus. This is also our lastContinue reading “Change In Seasons”
Social Media Tips
Opening day of the Minnesota State Fair was filled with downpours, hail, and thunder. It’s a good thing I’m not going for a few days because it’s been a rainy week. No one here would complain about the showers because our lawns look a California brown this year. I’ve said it before, I live upContinue reading “Social Media Tips”
Hump Day!
Is it the middle of the week already? I think I need to hump something. Yes, I did just write that sentence. What I really mean is that I need to get my next journal over any detours that bring me closer to the finish line. All the events and help I’ve been giving otherContinue reading “Hump Day!”
Summary Content
Tuesday is here but I’m still thinking about the weekend. Have you ever had to hunt down zebra or elephant cards with phrases on them? Well, that’s what I did while I was in The Art Shoppe on Sunday.

The week has started again and I’m thinking about pronto pups, funnel cakes, and Matha’s Cookies. Yes! The Minnesota State Fair begins and I already have my ticket. I will be wandering around safely but with my mouth watering like everyone else who missed the fair last year. Last year was modified to tickets toContinue reading “Social Media Tips”
Doggy Headlines
Today’s writing prompt is something that a lot of writer’s add into their resource box. Many writer’s cut out stories from newspapers or magazines and save them in a box to use later. In fact, many thriller writer’s use this as part of their research for new stories. We all know that headlines turn intoContinue reading “Doggy Headlines”
Dogs and Coffee
Someone I know had to go to the chiropractor last week because their lab size dog took off, and they did a face plant in the back yard. At least, they weren’t rollerblading down the sidewalk or downtown during the middle of the day for everyone to see them. I know the videos of dogsContinue reading “Dogs and Coffee”
