Fabulous Fall, Amazing Autumn
I'm back after a week off. Not "off," really, but last week all of my spare time went into getting my manuscript, Shear Murder, book four in the Melanie Hogan mystery series, finished and off to the editor. And now for this week's post... Whether you call it "Fall" or "Autumn," the message is the… Continue reading Fabulous Fall, Amazing Autumn
Diverse, Unique Taos
Last week I shared photos of old cemeteries we visited in Taos. This week I want to share some photos from our time there that are not cemetery related. I am enamored with this city of all things art. However, working in the law enforcement arena, I chose to research the crime rate. While… Continue reading Diverse, Unique Taos
A Grave Interest
My husband and I went on our first vacation in three years (other than visiting family). Destination? Taos, New Mexico. Between the arts and the history, it fed both of our interests. Of note was how often they go hand in hand. Something I've taken a particular interest in is old cemeteries. I love the architecture,… Continue reading A Grave Interest
Welcoming in September
I've always loved the months of September and October. Not because I want summer to end, but because those particular months carry with it evenings fit for hoodies, vibrant colors, the beginning of a new school year, renewed energy, fall decorations including the warm glow of orange lights, and all things pumpkin flavored! My home… Continue reading Welcoming in September

Nature’s Brilliance, Week 2
Sometimes there are just no words to adequately describe the beauty. Adopt the pace of nature: her secret is patience. ― Ralph Waldo Emerson
The Bucket List
How many of you have a bucket list? The movie, The Bucket List, with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson is one of my all-time favorites. It's a 2007 movie in which two terminally ill men (Freeman and Nicholson) set out to accomplish a list of things they want to experience before they "kick the bucket." I… Continue reading The Bucket List
Unique Boulder
We had family visiting from Minnesota this past week. With all the snow Minnesota has had this spring, my husband and I thought we would treat them to new sites. And the sites don't get any better--or crazier--than Boulder, Colorado. In fact, Boulder is like it's own little state. Comments like "Only in Boulder," "That's… Continue reading Unique Boulder
