Ugh. Can I just say ugh? I've been having to read all day long for the past three days. What!? Why aren't you giving me sympathetic pats on the back and saying, "There, there, it'll be okay. You'll get through this." ??? Maybe I should explain to those of you out there who would love … Continue reading Reading All Day: Not As Fun As It Sounds
Finn McSpool Gallops Into a New Role
As I announced on Wednesday, it’s book release time again and that means the Beasties are offering up a little bit of congratulations once again!! Okay, I’d like to believe Tammie and David Beastie are doing this because they’re eager to support my efforts as an indie writer, but I think it’s more about them … Continue reading Finn McSpool Gallops Into a New Role
Finn Says Hello…and Goodbye
Here's the deal. I had plans to finish out the last few days of my Irish Adventure with Finn McSpool (I love that autocorrect now recognizes "McSpool"!) over the next couple weeks and then continue on with my regular Saturday Finn-filled posts. But plans are changing. Don't worry, I've already got some pics loaded so … Continue reading Finn Says Hello…and Goodbye
A Beastie Taste of the Tropics
I had planned to continue on with the next installment of Finn McSpool's Beastie Tales of Ireland, but a couple weeks ago, as I was sifting through my Traffic Donkey photos, I noticed Tammie Beastie was missing. She's easy to overlook since she's kind of quiet and generally keeps to herself, but since we have … Continue reading A Beastie Taste of the Tropics

My Beastification (Reblog from Crawcrafts Beasties)
Yes, it's a rare two-Saturdays-in-a-row, Beastie-filled post! Finn McSpool is resting after all the book launch mayhem that's been going on this week, but I've pulled myself out of bed to show off the creation of the newest Beasties on the block. Well, I should say Helen of Crawcrafts Beasties has been doing the showing … Continue reading My Beastification (Reblog from Crawcrafts Beasties)
Finn McSpool Minds His Beeswax
Those of you who have been with me a while know I share my backyard with a hive full of bees. The girls are all tucked in for the winter, but after realizing I could no longer close the freezer door due to all the honeycomb I'd been stashing away over the season, I decided … Continue reading Finn McSpool Minds His Beeswax

Finn Gets in a Dilly of a Pickle at the Baseball Game
As if Finn McSpool wasn't already having quite the summer with a trip to (and bear sighting in) Veneta, Oregon, and his winning feats at the Portland Highland Games, the little monster recently spent a fine evening at the baseball game. Although he avoided (narrowly) getting bonked on the head with a foul ball, there was … Continue reading Finn Gets in a Dilly of a Pickle at the Baseball Game
