I feel a tiny bit bad about posting this video blog, since I’m going to eat in front of you. If I had my way, I’d invite you into my kitchen and we would sit down together over tea and scones. But since that’s not possible, I’ll eat the scones myself. (Sorry!) Enjoy!
Therapy on Halloween – Video Blog Post
My second video blog post in a week. Hey, I think I’m onto something here! And in this blog I have some guest appearances by the staff at my physical therapy office. Enjoy!
My First Video Blog Post!
Finally! A remedy for reluctant bloggers like me. Or…well, I hope so! Video blogging might be a way for me to stay in touch more often and, most importantly, save a bit of effort for my hands. That’s going to enable me to write more books. Theoretically, anyway. Anyway, here’s my very first video blog post. It’s short – only three and …
Auctioning Off a Character!
My church is having a fundraiser auction this weekend. I’ve come up with the best idea for an auction item! YOU Can Be a Character in Ginny Smith’s Next Novel! The Most Famous Illegal Goose Creek Parade Book 1 in the Tales of the Goose Creek B&B by Virginia Smith About the story: Al Richardson is counting the days until …
Old Friends and Chili Rellenos
Today I reconnected with a trio of delightful friends over chips and salsa, iced tea, and chili rellenos. All three of these ladies are dear to me, though I haven’t seen them for a long time. For years we belonged to a writers’ group together and thus had an impact on each others’ lives, both professionally and personally. We’ve lost …
Fan Mail and Prune Cake
I love going to the mailbox. Expectation builds as I approach, excitement in anticipating what has been placed in that little box with my name on it. In this day of electronic communication, I get a lot of email from readers, and I love (and answer) every single one. But there’s something special about receiving an actual letter from someone …
Ten Books That Have Stayed With Me
I don’t often respond to those Facebook posts that ask me to repost someone else’s status — EXCEPT when it has to do with books! Recently someone tagged me in a post and asked me to list ten books that have stayed with me for any reason. Who can resist spending a few minutes thinking about her favorite books? Ah, …
He Loves Me NOW
I had coffee with a friend yesterday, and she said something that really resonated deep in my soul. We were discussing choices, and how we’ve all made wrong ones. What a comfort to know that we’re forgiven, and God is working in us to make us more and more like Jesus. I recalled a saying we’ve all seen on bumper …
Killing Zombies for Relaxation
I’ve never been much for video games. They hadn’t been invented back in the Dark Ages when I was a kid, and since my profession has been focused on computers my entire adult life, I never had any desire to play with them when I got home at night. Last fall my 3-yr-old grandson introduced me to my first video …
World’s Worst Blogger
I raise my hand. Yes, I am the world’s worst blogger. But in my defense, I warned you years ago that would be the case. So I’m not making excuses. Just checking in. Sometimes life is more interesting than the Internet. Blogging takes time, and that’s a commodity in short supply these days. I’m a wife, mother, grandmother, writer, speaker, …
