So…last week our area was reeling with temps in the single digits and GUESS WHAT?? This week it’s 70 degrees and I’ve been writing outside. Gotta love Mississippi. 🙂 Last week’s question and answer: A man was arrested for possession of cocaine. Was it because: He offered a bag to an undercover officer. He took it to the police station and demanded …
Mystery Question
As I write this, remnants of the two-inch snow we had Friday lingers. Snow that completely shut down the northern third of my state of Mississippi. I know, I know…those of you living in the frozen tundra of the true North are laughing about now. But to travel the icy roads around here is to take your life in your …
New Year’s Goals?
It’s the third day of 2017, and I haven’t made New Year’s resolutions because I knew I wouldn’t keep them. I do set goals, like writing something at least five days a week, and reading a hundred books. And for the past few years, I’ve also chosen a word for the coming year to focus on. In the past, I’ve …
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Can you believe it’s almost 2017? Can you remember how odd it sounded when we first said 2000?? Or do you remember Y2K? That was the year everything on the computers was supposed to reset to 1900. “Experts” had us expecting the worst. I’m hoping 2017 will be a banner year for everyone, but just remember there will be bumps …
Count Down to Christmas
On this week before Christmas, I thought I’d have a little fun. I found all these warnings on the web…except ONE of them that I made up. Which one is it, Super Sleuths? Batman Costume: Warning: Cape does not enable user to fly Wheelbarrow: Do not use when temperature exceeds 140 Fahrenheit. Minidisc Player: Best when used with MiniDisc recorders and players. …
Celebrate the Reason for the Season
This time of the year can be really hard, and for some of us, Christmas is what we get through. That’s where I was last week. Counting the days until it was over. There was no magic, no little kids around for me to watch as they enjoy the season. Then I went to our Singing Christmas Tree, and the …
Can It Be Santa on the Roof or Bats in the Belfry?
On the 6th Day of Christmas, one of my favorite 🙂 author’s gave to me a copy of DiAnn Mill’s Deadly Encounter! Yes, that’s what this week’s giveaway book is! The winner will be randomly chosen next Monday night at 7 pm. Here’s the back cover copy: Here’s the back cover copy: Airport Ranger volunteer Stacy Broussard expected a peaceful Saturday morning ride …
And the November Super Sleuth Winner is…
We’ll get to last week’s Mystery Question and winner in a bit, but I thought since December begins this week, I’d do something different in the way of prizes. Like give away books from some of my favorite authors. **Disclaimer** These books are from my personal library so they aren’t brand-spankin’n new…but they still look and smell new. 🙂 Just leave a comment …
Happy Thanksgiving!
Since this is Thanksgiving week, I thought I’d ask my readers to share something they are thankful for that isn’t your normal thing to be thankful for. Like something making you late and because of it, you miss an accident–that’s happened to me more than once. Or like a friend who was thankful for a boring boyfriend who kept her …
When It Doesn’t Pay to Carjack
Can you believe it’s only two weeks until Thanksgiving and then Christmas?? I’m already seeing Christmas decorations in the stores and a couple of my friends have their trees up already. Once I would have fussed about Christmas decorations before Thanksgiving, but when I saw how much my friends enjoy their trees, I realized it doesn’t make any difference when Christmas …
