Holiday Decorations

Posted on October 4, 2020October 5, 2020 by Barbara

Autumn “Have you put out your fall decorations yet?” asked Cousin Linda. I replied, “Sweetie, it’s 100 degrees out. I hardly feel like putting pumpkins on the porch so they can shrivel up like dried apple heads.” Besides, there is no Autumn in Phoenix. We have two seasons, spring and summer. I’m not much of…

Pacific Ocean, San Diego

San Diego

Posted on August 18, 2020August 20, 2020 by Barbara

San Diego Where do Phoenicians go in the summertime? San Diego, of course. Who wouldn’t want to trade 110ºF for 70ºF and desert for a view of the ocean? I have a friend who owns a condo on Mission Bay – sailboats, gentle waves, cool breezes – and she begs me to come visit her….

CAMPING

Posted on August 7, 2020August 15, 2020 by Barbara

Camping Hubby and I went camping last week. Okay, we pulled our fifth wheel into the cool pines of the mountains. Don’t judge. We’re old. We’ve paid our dues camping in a canvas tent that smelled like the inside of a Marine’s boots; in a pop up, where we almost froze to death on Virginia…

Summer in Phoenix, AZ

Posted on July 17, 2020August 8, 2020 by Barbara

It’s HOT Summer in Phoenix is hot. Turn the slow cooker off, I’m done. Turn the grill off, my internal temperature is the same as a well-done steak. Let’s eat out; I’ll cook the eggs on the patio pavers. There’s no doubt about it, summer in Phoenix is hot. I’m not complaining, I’m stating a…

Bird is the Word

Posted on July 3, 2020August 8, 2020 by Barbara

Book Review I offered to review a recently published book (March 2020) about birds. Not only because I write picture books with bird characters, but also because I love birds (except the sparrows who are draining the nectar from my hummingbird feeder). What really caught my attention was the title, Bird is the Word.  Once…
