A Trip To Reno-Lake Tahoe
The week after Labor Day, Hubby and I flew to Reno for a meetup with our friends from Ricochet. Getting there and back wasn't half the fun, but it was interesting.

New Theme…….Long-form Writing Coming Soon
I decided to try out the new Independent Publisher theme. How do you like it? I thought it would better display my "in the works" long-form writing. It's a piece of writing I did a long time ago, but it was well-received, and I'm having fun adding features that I couldn't include in the original, …
