Sunday, February 28th - Watching the closing ceremonies for the winter olympics.  Gotta say, I'm gonna miss watching Apollo Ohno . . . or should I say Apollo Oh Yeah.  :  ) Call me a cougar, but that guy melts my ice!  Enjoyed some sunshine - finally! - this weekend.  Hope it's here to stay.  The first miniature daffodill has reared its little yellow head in the backyard and the tulips are coming up out front.  I think I planted pink ones this year, but that seems like so long ago it's hard to remember.  Moving right along on my sequel to Death, Taxes, and a French Manicure - the words just seem to be rolling off my fingertips.  Gotta love it when that happens!    

Sunday, February 14th - Just returned from a fun trip to Shreveport, Louisiana where I presented my tax workshop to the NOLA Stars RWA chapter.  Had a great time reconnecting with writers Winnie Griggs, Connie Cox, Beth Cornelison, and Liz Talley.  Great girls!  Took my guy along for the ride and had some fun - but no luck! - gambling at the casinos.  Of course we brought record snowfall with us from Dallas.  Came home to some broken tree limbs, but that's a small price to pay for this beautiful winter wonderland!
