But over the last thirty years, the lemon garlic chicken from the lodge's Comfort Cooking Café has proven a popular draw. Read more and get the recipe. . .

1-20-2010 New Blog: JoAnn shares Dr. Oz's prescription for calmness in our lives.

I felt it so important, I wanted to pass it on right away because it definitely works and we could all use a little more calmness in our lives.

12-30-09 JoAnn's Oregon photos accepted by photo stock company!
Before Sweetie and I took a trip back home to Oregon this fall, he bought me a new Nikon digital SLR, which I just love to pieces. I came home with many photos I still haven't gotten around to putting on a CD so sweetie can upload them. (Unlike some people who will go unnamed -- okay, that would be Sweetie -- I actually cull my pics so I don't have a gazillion photos of the same thing.)
Anyway, over Christmas, on a whim, I decided to upload a few to a stock photo place I've bought photos from in the past for various book trailer videos. While waiting to see if any would be accepted, I remembered how I felt when I was first waiting to get published.
Well, I learned yesterday that BigStockphoto.com accepted three! The first one is a shot of the Heceta Head lightkeeper's house. It's also the photo NAL used as a model for the cover of The Homecoming. Read more. . .
