Tonight I’ve finally got the winners of my Scent of Lilacs Celebration Giveaway. It wasn’t easy, let me tell you. I pick the winners by random numbers. Each e-mail I get goes into a special folder and the sender gets numbered according to when I receive the e-mail. Well, imagine my extreme distress this a.m. when I click on that …
All right, what funny things did your grandmother say? I know there’s probably something. Some odd turn of phrase or perhaps mispronunciation, something that still makes you smile when you remember. Jackie called her grandmother’s wise little saying “grandma-isms.” So here are a few of those grandma-isms I gleaned out of your e-mails and comments. Susan said her grandmother would load …
“The history of our grandparents is remembered not with rose petals but in the laughter and tears of their children and their children’s children. It is into us that the lives of grandparents have gone. It is in us that their history becomes a future.” ~Charles and Ann Morse One more week to enter my Scent of Lilacs Celebration Giveaway, …

At my book event today, I asked the grandmothers to raise their hands and almost everybody there did. Well, there were a couple of guys in the back who didn’t. But I love grandmothers. Often …
Mom with one of her great-granddaughters Every time I have a new book release or in the case of Scent of Lilacs re-released, I like celebrating with my reading friends. And what better way to celebrate than to give away some things? And what am I giving away? Funny that you should ask since I was just about to …
This is my beautiful mother enjoying her grandchildren forty years ago. At the time, she was younger than I am now and a very loving grandmother. The grandkids thought she was the best. She let them stand at the sink and wash dishes. She pretended to let them help her make doughnuts. She played Rummy with them and didn’t always …
Another busy Saturday with an even busier Sunday coming up – maybe. The Sunday School kids couldn’t make it for the Panther Rock walk last week, so maybe they’ll want to go this week.
