So, did you hear about the devastating hurricane that hit IOWA this week?
You did not read that wrong. IOWA.
Hello, 2020.
This is a picture of the house across the street from my daughter’s home, in Ankeny, IA.
SCAAARY Stuff. (Pray for the people in Cedar Rapids,
So, we’ve been on a sort of adventure the past three weeks:
During the adventure of unpacking and painting my bedroom and bathroom, I got on Zoom and did an interview with a life coach for her upcoming Women of Unique Beauty summit.
(By the way, you can sign up for the summit HERE for free!)
She asked me the secret of my success.
So, how are you doing? In case you’re wondering, today is Friday.
(I know, Snowy, I get confused too.)
As a writer, the days already blur a little, especially when I’m deep in writing a book. But this has certainly been different.
There are other beings in my place of work,
THIS HUNT HAS NOT YET BEGUN. WE’RE STILL SETTING UP. PLEASE RETURN THURSDAY AFTERNOON/EVENING after noon Mountain time!

I wanted to say hi and make sure you were surviving winter!
I’ve been busy the last couple months. Went to Arizona to work on a project, then to Florida for my birthday, then to Austin for a business meeting and then up north with friends to say goodbye to the writing cabin.
Hey friends,
This isn’t me. But it’s about how I feel after Christmas.
Ready for a nap.
Right?
So, are you digging yourself out of wrapping paper and pine needles?
But oh, what a fun season we had! All the kiddos home, and one even brought his beautiful fiancee!
Are you as cold as I am? I mean seriously…
I suppose the problem is that last week I was in…Hawaii! Hubs and I sneaked away for a very needed brain break to do some scuba diving, sailing and island exploring with my brother and his wife.
We had a blast.
Happy November! I am a noodle of relief.
I had an ambitious writing year, I admit it. You know by now I’m a binge reader—when I like an author, I dive in and read ALL their books. And if they have a series, I devour the entire series at once.
And many of my readers are just like me…they don’t want to wait a year for the next book.
Did you have a great weekend?
I was up north at my writing cabin/AirBnB, where it was raining and cold. (But my cute little maple tree is shooting out red leaves for all it’s worth!)
And hubs was doing this. (He’s so handy!)
Meanwhile the drywall guy was painting our ceilings (pictures on their way!) and Ii was reading/editing a book.
Happy Labor Day weekend!
We are not building this weekend. We’re down in Iowa, hanging out with this cutie.
So many of you asked about updates to the Reno I thought I shoot you some pictures. Admittedly, we’re a bit tired, and ready to be D.O.N.E. We’ve moved back upstairs and are now running electrical in the basement.
