When I was a child, one of my favorite things in the world was Misty of Chincoteague and King of the Wind by Marguerite Henry. I did not own a lot of toys. Most of the ones I had were made by my mother. But somehow, I managed to talk my parents into pony figurines of…
Ping-Ping on the beach in the wind last summer We are off to Chincoteague for a week of family games and fun in the sun. Our only week all year long without TV and computers. Here’s to hoping that we have even half as much fun as last year. Juss on a horse…

Finally, my copy of Ghost Story arrived!!! Only I am half a chapter away from finishing my novel, so I really can’t start reading it now. I’ve got to get the novel finished (We’re talking about three scenes, for gosh sakes!) before I can start reading. Up until today, I had the best of both…
