I’m catching up after a busy and sometimes sad last 2-3 years. And now what? I’m sheltering at home like everyone else, which is fine. The New Normal, they say. I am so sorry for those we have lost, but so proud of those doctors, nurses, and staffs who are laying their lives and hearts out there to help. Courageous people!

Some of this New Normal is a first for me, like washing eggs and oranges, etc. NO-Knead bread as shown on YouTube has become my favorite baking. My granddaughters ages 14 and 10 are now also making these easy recipes. For one thing, no eggs and no milk, just basically flour, salt, yeast and water. It’s Artisan bread, soft inside and crusty outside. (Don’t forget to add that pan of water in your oven.) Tons of recipes on YouTube and I’m headed for the pizza dough next. This is delicious bread. So far, the girls and I have baked whole wheat, plain, and oatmeal honey.

My WIP (Work in Progress) now is the third of my Fresh Start trilogy, the first two out early 2018. Kenna’s and Olivia’s story have waited, but Crystal’s is turning into a good story, I think. Just You and Just Love were the first two. They are women’s fiction, about women’s choices, with romance.

Then there is ad work, cover designs, etc. You can catch more at at Facebook. is now .99 for a limited time (Maybe 4/15/20). “Loved, loved, loved this adorable romance!� >>Oklahoma rancher Lucas Walkington will do anything for his twin teenage girls, including appearing on a dating show as The Love Bandit. To help her sister, Chastity Beauchamp substitutes as Honey, a Heartbeats Goddess. City girl Chastity knows more about filing cabinets than men, but when she sees this delicious rancher, she wants her one chance for delight. He’s soon whisking Chastity away to greater, outer Oklahoma.

I do hope you’ll catch my . , too, and if you are a writer, I have another leaning more toward that. It is much easier than this website to manage, so more frequent. And a , which isn’t out very much, only when I have news.

Then, amid everything else, I’m thinking about making laundry soap, ever so cheap and easy. I use the plain washer kind, as I have a plain washer. However, for the nicer machines, find a different recipe. Good old Fels Naptha, washing soda, and Borax Laundry booster is all it takes. You save a lot of $, but be careful of the recipe you use as machines are different.

I do enjoy working at home, though I know not all appreciate it. For one thing, I admire all parents who are actively homeschooling. Really do. Tough job, but also a time to get across important life message.

Oh, and at my page, I’ve begun tucking in author notes about my stories: where I researched, why I like the theme, etc. I did the cover for , and that includes the sweetheart necklace Dad gave to Mom when they were courting. You might find that interesting?

Until next time, do a lot of hand washing, be very careful, thank our medical workers AND our grocery store people, AND use that hand cream�.
