Look at that picture of Luna. Doesn't she look sweet? My favorite part of the day is when she is exhausted. True story. It has been a while since we have had a dog with such high energy. We had two Basset hounds prior that have since passed away, and they only showed...

I am in the mode of avoidance. My manuscript to my second book is waiting to be revised as I just received it back from my editor. It's taunting me. I know that I need to address it, but, for now, I will simply write my blog and hope for divine inspiration. For those...
