- Colleges… Are Now in Progress….
I don't know how to begin this blog… "Boo, hoo, hoo" or "I am sad" are how I feel, but, let's face it, those two entry phrases are pretty negative, and they don't really begin to cover the great sadness I feel every time my children leave our home. (…)

- We Seem to be Watching "All Things Britannia!"
It isn't very often that my husband and I have both of our adult children at home at the same time. When they are both here, we enjoy getting out our favorite DVDs to watch as a family…. (…)

Now that I have my holiday books pretty much in order, I am going to tell you about something I have been doing for the last few years…

- Updating Author Lists, Authors by Profession
I have been trying to update my authors' chronological lists these past few days, and I am also currently trying to sort "my authors" by their main character's professions.

So far, I have a whole lot of professions… there are a lot of characters who are librarians, culinary specialists such as chefs, restaurant owners, caterers, and bakery owners. (…)
