It is amazing, we have endured the cold of Winter, used it effectively by finding time to rest, in spite of ourselves, come through the rainy season of every weeks offering and are so near the Fourth of July we hear the firecrackers! You may smile there, as we suspect it is graduating seniors celebrating! Twelve years old school have come to an end. Plans for the future have been made. Now to see those plans through! Here on Springhill Drive, we have one more grand to finish high school, four more years, and they will go quickly, then we wait for the little "greats," if we endure. In my late bloom as an author books one, two, and three in this months time will be on the shelf. I remember the person at the publishing company saying, "a year is nothing in a writers life. You have to get five or ten under your belt and don't expect any money for that length of time, either, because it's like a pie, by the time everyone gets a slice the pie will be gone." O.k. I did not figure a get rich scheme. However, the writing puts the painting on the back burner. Which I  realize I'm not that great, anyway and what do you do with those paintings, anyway? I think I'm an organized collector! Well as life turns the wheel, for now we are o.k.   Bob passed the eighteen month mark the dr. Gave him last week and I'm praying he's going for a year and another and another. (I am selfish there). Wishing you a peaceful day and restful week, those at home hours. I hope you buy my books, from me, even. forgiven, Forbidden and Forsaken! There may be something in them you would enjoy reading!  Blessings. See you later
