The peacefulness of home
with my husband and our dogs
SNOW!
Much needed spring SNOW!
I love that I have a romantic husband.
I love that we’ve been together since I was 17 & he was 20…
Crystal Peak – the view from my writing nook
Fresh, sweet, juicy berries
These strawberries were surprisingly good for early May up here!
They transported me back in time to France in April 2024
when we bought the best strawberries ever at an open market where
you could smell the sweetness…
On one of our several daily walks on our nature trail – there was a moose!
Thankfully on the other side of the river.
Though the moose could have walked across, she did not!
It’s always a treat to (safely) encounter wildlife.
A picture of us all at Mass today to send to Elisa.
We love and miss you.
In celebration of Mother’s Day
Father Andres had a blessing and a rose for us mothers.
This is the first time I remember Bruce’s birthday and Mother’s Day
being on the same day. Our kids got together on this: 😊
Always satisfying to see my writing published.
And
I’m querying agents about representation for my picture book which is
about the seasons in the mountains. And I am writing a book proposal
for my memoir when I was a mentor for a high risk first grader.
Post what’s GOOD going on with you!

What an awesome post! I love that I thought of you both this morning & sent a text & then opened this beautiful post! I love your view from your book. Such a blessing every day! You are a wonderful writer. You’ve always been inspirational & a great cheerleader too!
Hi Claudia!
Thank you for expressing such kindness.
We feel fortunate to get to live where we do.
When Bruce and I were dating: picnics, the park, feeding the ducks, long walks – simple pleasure in nature were our favorite way to spend time together.
