Oh my goodness! I have not posted in a bit. Look at our new family member!

Look who is 9 months old today! Layla Lovely Legend.

Yesterday’s sunrise was absolutely beautiful for about 10 minutes. The view from my deck.

I can finally announce the release of the first picture book in a series I wrote. This has been a passion project to brighten the days of a terminally ill relative. He LOVED it! So appreciative.❤️ #booksky

Yesterday’s sunrise was absolutely beautiful for about 10 minutes. The view from my deck.

5:30, 4:30, 3:30, 2:30 Northwest life. The changing view from my deck today.

Another rainbow day in the PNW. The view from my deck.

The mountain is looking beautiful from my deck tonight.

Just a pic of Layla at 7 months old.

Layla is getting so big!

The view from my deck this morning. Mount Rainier is out today!

Let’s go!!!

Sunrise over Seattle

Daylight but raining over Seattle

Seattle covered by clouds peek-a-boo rainbow.

Double rainbow

Such a crazy weather day in the PNW. This is a series of pics over about a 10 hour period. #PNW

It looks like the woods of Washington.

I love taking pictures of Mt. Rainier from my deck in Washington (the state) in the USA. Sadly, today it’s gray and rainy so you can’t see anything. I do have a sunrise pic on my home page.

I think we all need to be informed about AI with no guilt. I don’t believe in using it in the creative realm but it’s part of what is now our current culture, so ignoring it doesn’t help. 😞

I’m so excited!!! The vet called me last night. (after office hours, so sweet!) He already heard back from the specialist and Layla’s x-ray shows no permanent damage. She’s on meds for pain and swelling and needs to take it easy 2-4 weeks. Phew! Celebratory pup cup! #doglovers #goldenretreivers

The vet appointment today was not what I was hoping. He did x-rays for Layla’s limp. They’re being sent to a specialist because there’s something wrong with her wrist growth plate. Now I wait.😞 Here’s a pic with her new Christmas collar. #doglovers

It may only be 33 degrees today, but it was a beautiful sunrise. More deck pics. #PNW

This sweet girl is 6 months old today. She has a reoccurring limp so it’s off to the vet tomorrow.🥲 #goldenretreivers

Here I am complaining about myself and you have a sick little one. Hope she’s well soon.

I love STEAM!

I miss Ireland.🥲

I guess it’s too much effort to stand and drink today.😂 Such a silly puppy. #doglovers #goldenretreivers

I’m thinking a memoir or novel is in my future. Today a famous PB author released her new book. It’s almost the exact title of my original story. Same characters-different breed of puppy, so many similarities. Sadly, it was a series. Sucks to be me today. Tomorrow will be a better day.

I love watching Jessica and James on their YouTube channel. They have great info.! I think I may write a book called ‘A Smidge Too Late’. I’m 63 and I can’t tell you have many books, inventions, etc that I have been too late on completing.😂 My memoir title.😂

You are so lucky! James was my top choice agent. By the time I had my manuscript edited and polished, he wasn’t accepting PB queries anymore. Boo!😒 Maybe he’ll be open again sometime next year.🤞

I wish I would have seen this earlier. My Reedsy editor is the best. Thank you Melissa Richeson!
