As you know Bob and Andrea are building a new home in the mountains in Arizona. It is coming along and they are hunting for new appliances. Bob sent this tome yesterday to show me their new sink. He offered to send me the name of his plumber . . . I suggested he just send the sink and include the wine. Everyone should have a sink just like this one in their bar. What bar? I'm lucky to have a sink and a bottle of wine. I love his sense of humor. of course when they do come for a visit they always bring a special bottle of wine . . .maybe I'll put ice in my sink and rest the bottle in it.
Daughter Christine has been very busy these days. she works at home and has plenty to do, and also does volunteer work in many community activities in which telephone and meetings take up a lot of time. When she visited me last, she took time out to put one of my novels on Amazon. It was accepted as I told you in a former blog and my copies came fast and well done. Jock called to tell me he ordered one which was great to hear but I would have given him a free one as he shares all of his garden produce with me. I have mailed off a couple of books to a fan or two and last evening I had an e mail from my daughter telling me my book is now on Kindle. She has already put my newest novel "Decades" in to Amazon and it has been accepted so that will be coming soon. So I have awarded her the title of agent; I knew she had a love of books and expected her to grow up and become an author in her own right. Maybe one day she will write a novel, I hope so. I wish I had her computer smarts but I am lucky I know how to turn the computer on. I needed to find a way to get my novels published as Joanne of our hometown Yarak Publishing had to regroup after some health issues. She and I came along way working together on all of the novels I did do....about fifteen in all. She still has one of my novels she wants to do but I can let her off the hook and give her a chance to heal as I have the new technology to use and she can continue with all of her smaller projects that are much easier for her to keep up with. It is a fascinating field but a lot of really hard work. Writing was the easiest part, yep, started a new one. I said I wanted to be the Grandma Moses of writing short novels, one you can pick up and read on a trip and finish . . . I might make it yet.
So think about what you love to do and get busy doing it. Each one has a talent all their own, just take time to discover what you talent is then jump in and make good use of it. Don't put yourself on hold for you can waste a lot of your precious seconds. Get out there and strut your stuff . . . make someone happy and that someone is YOU. Hugs to all.
