Our brains are built to benefit from play no matter what our age. ~Theresa A. Kestly It’s my birthday month so it’s time to have some fun and to give away some books. Of course, you can check out Last Sunday’s post, Mining Parenting Memories, and leave a comment on that post to be entered in a drawing for a …
“The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.” ~Robert Flacon Scott Okay so Sunday’s mystery photo wasn’t a great mystery. A lot of you knew what it was. I guess the pecan mystery picture was my tricky highlight (so far) and this one my low light. But that’s okay. I’m fine with some right guesses. It definitely …
“What we could consider magic, may just be science that we don’t understand yet.” ― Patricia Robin Woodruff, Strange Tales of Floyd County, VA Thank you all for playing my Mystery Photo Game. Some of you are really hard to trick into thinking something different than what it is. But I guess some people are simply better at solving mysteries …
Being the owner of dachshunds, to me a book on dog discipline becomes a volume of inspired humor. Every sentence is a riot. Some day, if I ever get a chance, I shall write a book, or warning, on the character and temperament of the dachshund and why he can’t be trained and shouldn’t be. I would rather train a …
Thanks to all of you who are playing my Caption Giveaway Game. You came up with some good ones last time. The hay bale had some of you thinking about that lost needle in a haystack.

“Tomorrow’s victory is today’s practice.” ― Chris Bradford, The Way of the Warrior Above is picture number 2 just waiting for your clever captions. Thanks to all of you who suggested captions for Sunday’s picture of the kids and the horse. Many of you thought the horse might be wishing the kids had something a bit more appetizing to offer. …
“A picture is worth a thousand words.” Do you remember saying that or hearing that? I think it used to be true. Pictures back when didn’t lie. If somebody took a picture of you, you might not like how you looked but you had to admit it was how you had looked at that instant of the shutter clicking. Now, …
“A name can’t begin to encompass the sum of all her parts. But that’s the magic of names, isn’t it? That the complex, contradictory individuals we are can be called up complete and whole in another mind through the simple sorcery of a name.” ― Charles de Lint, Dreams Underfoot I’m working on a new book. That means I’m having …
“Did you know that there are over 300 words for love in canine?” – Gabriel Zevin I know. I’m late. It is Thursday, not Wednesday when I usually post. But we had company last night and had to get a new television set up since the one we had just blew up a couple of days ago. Now, while I …
For some of my books, the publishers have designed graphics with quotes from the stories. They usually let me pick them out. Sometimes I can find one sentence that I think tells a bit of the story and makes you get a feel for the character or setting. But often I want to include more that one sentence. After all …
