My sister's Aussie had puppies and I got to spend time playing in puppy heaven during my recent visit :)

For those who like old cemeteries, here's a couple of photos of the Lynch Cemetery in Albany, Texas. One was taken four years ago and the other was taken on my recent visit.

Here's a great photo I took of the Albany, Texas Courthouse. I love the thunderstorm brewing overhead :)

Wish I was in Albany now for the Fandangle!

I recently returned from an awesome research trip to Albany, Texas. Terri (my sister) and I had a wonderful time further exploring the area. Our great-great grandfather (Judge John Cornelius Lynch) settled here before it became the county seat and was ultimately named Albany :) Pictured above is the current day ranch that used to be the Lynch Ranch. Our father actually lived here when he was young.

Over the course of the next month, I'll post more of our photos from the trip. And soon, PUPPY PHOTOS!

Vicki Hinze and I created a spiral-bound Success Journal that we're really excited about! Read all about it on Vicki's blog.

Both of us believe in to-do lists, but we wanted so much more and couldn't find it on the market. We sat down after a conference a couple of weeks ago and worked out what we needed. We brainstormed inspiring thoughts to keep us pointed toward success. And while our Success Journal is great for writers, it's also great for anyone else, too!

Here's a link to it at Amazon.

I'm heading to the Fort Walton Beach area for the fabulous Emerald Coast Writers Conference!

Here's a link for more information about the conference.

Here's a clip from last year's conference.



And another clip.

It's been a wild and crazy week! Ian came home from college for a few days and then Andrew came home yesterday. While here, he purchased his first new car!

I really enjoyed the joy ride with him this morning :)
