2011-2012 index and PDF of blog posts
A 20 day down time with my web host and moving content to Blogger in summer 2026 was eye opening. I'll spare you the details. I decided to convert the most recent years posts 2021-2026 so they are browsable and easily scanned through the sidebar blog archive. But the oldest posts - exported in XML and then converted to PDF - will have an index page (like this one), and a link to the PDF for the year(s).
As ancient as this is, I have no doubt there will be broken links, especially on the "Walk on the blog side posts." But some highlights: look for book reviews ("Talking About the Book") & Teasers from my first novel, Keeping the Family Peace, updates on research & writing my historical fiction novel, & my mom's spaghetti sauce recipe! You can open the PDF (above) to read them all(!), or click on the few items I've linked below.
