1-09-2023 Mind Of A Neighbor...                 
Book three, and the final book in the American Neighborhood Series is finally available!Click on link to purchase:   https://rb.gy/kcbuqa. 

Trust builds as neighbors leave the disaster of Hurricane Harvey. Faith is tested as they relocate to Kansas. Locals stir up sinister rumors that develop into unexpected trouble.

Can Ethan and Kate obtain God's peace that surpasses understanding?

Do Sal and Maria remain true to their friends?

Can Kate forgive an entire town? 

Although Mind of a Neighbor is fiction, the struggles of the characters are very real. 

Enjoy the final book in this series. All three books in this series are available in large print. No profanity, and all are published by Proof Productions. I would greatly appreciate you giving a review on Amazon! (On Mind of a Neighbor and any of the others as well!)

An inspiring ending is always possible in any situation...when you know the promises God has given...to see us through this evil world.

1-20-2022 Mind Of A Neighbor              Completed the third and final book in the American Neighborhood Series...Mind Of A Neighbor is now at the publisher's! Yay! Book one, Eyes Of A Neighbor, and book two, Heart Of A Neighbor are available at Amazon in either e-book or printed paperback book. The entire series is in large print due to readers' requests. Also all are profanity free.            I have attended two virtual parties of Pampered Chef cooking and baking products lately. Love the products! Bought a good assortment of unique and useful items I couldn't do without! My favorites are the snack maker, pocket pie maker, brownie pans [ind. square shape size and individual bite-size shape] apple corer, digital meat thermometer, popcorn popper, and of course the ceramic egg cooker for the microwave. Making scrambled eggs for Mom in the morning is fast in the microwave now, and clean-up is a breeze! Highly recommend the egg cooker! I used to soak a pan for hours that I scrambled eggs in, now no more mess!          Since winter has arrived with freezing nights and cold, windy days I cook a lot of homemade soups, or chili, chicken and dumplings, taco soup, or stew...and today I tried something new to go along with any of those. I used my Pampered Chef brownie pans, both sizes, and made cornbread in them. Wow! That gives it a really good flavor! We didn't even put butter on the cornbread! Try it sometime!         I am writing on my new book when Mom sleeps. This is a stand-alone book [no series] with new characters, and it will surprise everyone! Guaranteed! No more hints!         Stay tuned!  😊          
2020- 2021- Taking care of Mom           Being a caregiver is now a 24/7 act of love, caring, and protectiveness. Doctor visits, certainly, but also watching to make such she doesn't throw food away or pour out her drink. She forgets so much each day, and is completely shocked when I tell her that she roams the house in her sleep...in the dark. The dogs bark and wake me up. I gently put her back to bed. All it takes though is one long confused look towards me for assurance and I melt! Then I show her how to do something, or explain that everything is okay. I wouldn't trade being her caregiver for anything. After all, she once took care of me when I didn't know how to do anything. She still says her prayer before each meal, combs her hair, does her word search puzzles, and reads her Amish stories on the Kindle. She is a big talker, asks a lot of the same questions, and is a lot of company!





October 19, 2019 - Finished writing a book review, submitted it, and I am back in the kitchen...I also enjoy cooking and baking.  Here are pictures of what's left of my homemade yeast rolls...and what else can you do while they rise but make individual size cobblers! The small ones are strawberry, and the larger ones are blackberry. Yum!                                                                                                                                                        

    

October 12, 2019 - Mom was in the very early stages of Alzheimer's and Dementia in 2017. I had her move into my home for all of 2018 and I will continue to be her caregiver. She is 91 years old and is a blessing. It is sad to see her mind and reasonings are no longer what she used to be capable of. Her condition has worsened. She asks all day what today is, and when I tell her, she smiles.  She had an obsession with her AARP card...constantly wanting to know where the card is until I decided to staple it on a message board in her bedroom where she can see it. That satisfies her, and she is happy with it being in plain sight where it can't get lost.  :) 
September, 2019  - Thought I would share some pictures of "my world" during 2019. Part of my daily routine! Here is a quote I wrote...  :)

August, 2019 - Canning pickles...and later figs!  Something else I enjoy!  :)

July, 2019 - LeRoy, my oldest Yorkie. He was recently groomed in this picture and is my guard dog...or so he thinks! He lets us know when loud noises happen ...inside or out...and has incredible hearing...barks when a cat walks by outside...I kid you not! He can sense the cat being in our lawn!

June, 2019 - Highly recommend this baked spaghetti recipe I discovered in the 2002 edition of "Recipes from Uncertain Cooks" cookbook by the Church of Uncertain, Uncertain, Texas. I doubled the recipe; made one to eat now, and froze the other one for later. Yum! Delicious!  :)

May, 2019 - Here are pictures of my peach and tangerine hibiscus plants...and the huge white lilies! I do enjoy my plants! :)

April, 2019 - Took this picture of the bayou behind my house. It was foggy with mist. Think I will keep it for a new book cover! Love it!  :)

March, 2019 - Mom and I baked cookies today. These  are oatmeal/ raisin/ pecan with brown sugar. Did not last long!  :)

February, 2019 - Have to share some pictures of Cletus! We don't dare use the Mexican Chimney to roast weiners before bringing Cletus inside. He thinks it is his hiding place and loves it. He will stay in it for hours, relaxed and happy.

January, 2019 - 
New addition to the family: Tinkerbell, a 2 year old Yorkie who looks you in the face and tries to talk to you. Sounds like a cross between a cat screeching and a dog howling.  She is so spoiled. We refer to her as Doggie-Girl .   :)

December 7, 2018 - Loved our time together at the annual Christmas {White Elephant Gift Exchange} Party! Our group, The Caddo Lake Dragonflies meet once a month at Bulldog Pizza in Jefferson, Texas, and always enjoy each other's company and the great food! The owner even wore an elf hat just for the occasion...too much fun!  :)

                                                                         
November, 2018 - writing on novel- Mind Of A Neighbor
October 31, 2018 - Mom and I enjoyed an hour concert yesterday by a 5 piece brass quartet in Shreveport, La. Loved the marches and hearing a tuba play again! {Brought back memories of my sons, Michael Brannon, and Jeff Brannon, and grandson Lake Brannon playing in the band years ago! Mike played tuba, and Jeff and Lake played the baritone.}This was a navy band performing Fairest of the Fair, and Nat'l Emblem March by John Philip Sousa. Also Shenendoah by John A. Rider, Shreveport Polka by Lester Lee, Washington State March, Battle Hymn of the Republic, and an Americana Medley. We sat on the second row, and it was awesome! They were a blessing to all! :)

May 16 -2017 - Loved my Speaking Engagement to third grade class at Karnack I S D in Karnack, Texas! Too much fun speaking about writing to the third grade class at Karnack ISD this morning in Karnack, Texas. I encouraged them to use their imagination, and write a short story this summer while school is out. We laughed through suggestions, and they enjoyed my writing tips. I told them I've lived in the area for 55 years and 37 of those years I have lived here in Karnack, and worked at Karnack High School for 5 years as the secretary to the principal. Then I showed them my books, and told them it all started with a short story. They wanted to know where they could buy them, and if I made a lot of money. Then I told them I knew their parents, grandparents, and greatgrandparents. Sudden excitement burst through the room! "Do you know my mother, do you know my daddy?" They each gave their parents names, and I answered "yes, I knew them when they were here in high school." It was awesome!     :)
