We’re back from the Odessa book signing, and, once again, the dog was sure glad to see us!
We held our eighth and last book signing event Saturday for my book of daily encouragements, Be Still.

This morning, after having returned from the recent book signing event in Borger, I reflect upon the fact that though I was with so many family members during the short visit, I had very few opportunities to “visit” with most of them. I didn’t even get to have a conversation with Mom! Read the rest of this entry »
