June’s Playlist 2022: Breakup Songs
Photo taken 10 years ago this month after a hail storm. In June, I was listening to breakup songs to get the mood I want for the current story I'm getting ready to edit for this months' Camp Nano.

May’s Playlist 2022 and Ramblings
Last weekend, went to grab donuts and coffee and couldn't resist taking a photo of the clouds. Aren't they something?

Unboxing and Photos of the Lancaster Leather Notebook Cover
I don't normally use the personal size leather covers because I just find that they don't have enough room to write, but the Lancaster Traveler's Notebook cover was so tempting that I had to get one. I already have a personal cover for my address book, etc., but went ahead and switched the notebooks out... Continue Reading →
