Survivor – Sheridan, Il Part 4
Continuing our saga from Part 3… We slept fairly well, no running toilet, no doors rattling and, we had coffee in the morning. Life was good. We showered and dressed and headed into Sheridan to find a place to eat. Sheridan is very small, a population of 2,120. We drove around a few different areas and …
Missing the Point
I’m so excited to release Missing the Point for so many reasons. First and foremost, this is a series I’ve thought about for a long time. You see, my father’s parents were both born and raised in Kentucky. My grandfather came from a very poor family and on top of that, his father divorced …
What is it about family?
This past weekend my husband, Gene, and I went to Kentucky to visit my cousin, Sonya, and do some book research while we were there. Sonya graciously invited us to stay with her, which normally family would do, but this is a bit different. You see, Sonya and I have never met in person. This …

What’s the one thing you look forward to on Easter?
This week’s Open Book Blog Hop discussion is “What’s the one thing you look forward to on Easter?” My answer is divinely simple – family. Our kids and grandkids come over, we eat, drink and visit. It’s the best feeling in the world. Of course we go to church first, give thanks and praise …
Swedish Pancakes and Meatballs
We just love Swedish Pancakes. So much so that when I make pancakes at home, Gene likes them super thin. And, I do as well. But, making just thinning out the batter just isn’t the same as a Swedish Pancake. Eggs, beaten thoroughly are part of the process, more liquid (milk) than regular pancakes is the …
Survivor – Sheridan IL – Part 2
Continuing our “survival” story from Part 1 – Our big weekend away to the “premiere” Sheridan, Il property came and we excitedly planned our weekend get-away. Our son, Alex, would watch Aries, (our dog and head of security of the Fiala household) and Gene delivered Aries to Alex’s house while I finished packing. We …
