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!

​

​What a week!

The Keniston household has been busy. My daughter and grandchildren came home with me for a week’s visit and a wedding this coming weekend. It’s lovely having them around in the home my daughter grew up in. Wouldn’t mind going back in time to the days when whole families lived on the same street, but sadly in these crazy days and times if we had to buy a home today we wouldn’t be able to afford our own house!
 
Then, just to add a little zip to our day, my husband was T-boned turning at an intersection. Thankfully the person who ran the red light was insured so we were able to take my mom (the passenger) to the hospital to check out her hip. Again, more thanks, her hip was just bruised from the seatbelt but at the ripe young age of 87 everyone was concerned she could have easily fractured that hip.
 
So now, we’re all moving about with company and one family car. It will be interesting until we get a hold of the insurance process. With only 66k miles on our old Mitsubishi, I’m hoping they repair the thing and don’t want to total it. We not only like the car but were hopeful it would last longer than we do LOL!
 
The good stuff – the grandbaby smiles in her sleep. That’s fun to watch. Would love to know what those dreams are!
 
As for writing, the plan is to get back on board full time next week when the family goes home and it’s just me and my computer, but until then, it’s all about the baby! Have to admit I love those little baby snuggles. It makes me understand why the Duggars had 19 kids – babies (if you have some help) are too sweet for words. Though I do think 19 is a bit much, but my daughter wants one or two more so I’m totally on board with rocking babies a few more times! As an only child I think having a bunch of siblings should be a blast, both growing up and then later in life when our parents are aging. Heaven knows I would love a sibling to help a bit with Mom and her dementia, but I’m thankful to have cousins who are there to make the road a little easier.
 
Do you come from a large or small family?

I was an only til I was 16. I loved having a sister at long last. Swore I’d never do an only. My 1st 2 were 2 years apart. Then 23 years later, we started over. Not intended, but that child was my reward for surviving the other 2! She’s been such a joy.

LOL - I tell my mom that her reward for being such a good mom is my hubby - he's a better son than I am daughter! I admit, now that my family is all grown up, I wish I'd had more, but am thankful for the two I have!

I'm the oldest of 3 (a brother & sister) but my sister, the youngest passed away before my mom did. Long story short, not being the favorite, I was the one who spent the last weeks with my mom. I was there from the start of her illness, told to leave, and returned for the last week. It was rewarding in its own way.

BTW, when I get the email notification for the blog, there's no hyperlink to the blog. Is it supposed to be that way?

sorry about the rough relationship with your mom - family dynamics are not always easy - even when you're an only child.

and - the notice is probably supposed to have a link but my daughter who helps me with it is on maternity leave so I had to send it out - and it didn't occur to me to add it - so sorry!
