Bucket List

Zip Line Disaster

Got a bucket list? I do: go parasailing, do a good zip line, jump out of an airplane, travel more and a few other   ridiculous thing. I’ve been parasailing.  That was a walk in the park.  I’m not afraid of heights, the view was beautiful, and the landing back on the boat was as easy […]

Blessed by two great men

I just returned from a cruise to Eastern Caribbean where, while onboard I attended a Denise George’s Christian writers’ conference. Yes, again the humor rolled (just like the Tide). I made the hotel and flight arrangements for our Lit Chick […]
