Thanks for stopping by.  If you’re new to my website, I’m the author of over thirty romantic fiction novels, and a series of short stories I call  Flirts. I love to tell a story that sometimes makes you laugh, sometimes makes you cry, often has a surprise or two, but always ends happily ever after.

I live in the Dallas area with my husband, a rescued German Shepherd who believes himself to be the neighborhood goodwill ambassador (the German Shepherd, not my hubby),  a fifty-pound American Pit Bull who is convinced he's a lapdog.  Occasionally I get to puppysit my Golden Retriever  grandpuppy.  All dutifully sit at my feet as I write my next story.

So come on in, explore my pages, and see what's in store for you!

New House for Mom!

This has been a whirlwind week. The good news for our family - we bought a new house for my mom that brings her closer to me! For anyone with an aging parent, they’ll understand why a house less than a mile away without a traffic light in route is seriously fantastic. Especially for my sweet husband. The man drives fifteen minutes north of us to take my mother her meds every day, then drives fifteen minutes south again to go to work.  Having Mom a three minute drive will be huge for him. And for me.
 
Many of you know Mom has dementia, so some things just don’t make sense to her no matter how many times you explain it. Being forgetful is an understatement. And change never sits well. So when she sees a house and asks every day about it, you know it’s the right house to move her into. We had to do some fancy footwork (read dog not letting go of a bone) to get it, but we did!
 
There’s some work to be done to make it an easier transition for her. First thing we did was widen the entry to the kitchen – this had to be done for a couple of reasons. First, the room really needed more light (too easy to get depressed with dementia) and secondly, she needs to see the way to the kitchen easily and not just a doorway or all the doorways confuse her.
 ​
I have been over there every day for the last three days (hence why this is a day late) sweeping up after the contractor, carrying wood, fetching tools, even painting. Anything to make the work go faster and cheaper!  Yesterday the electrician was there all day – so many switches that we have no idea what the heck they go to! Took a while to track most of them down!
 
Today I get to take Mom to show her what has been done and then we have to pick out tile for the bathroom where we ripped out the tub and are installing a walk in shower. Will keep you posted!
 
How are things going in your neck of the woods?
