Rainy Day

It is a rainy day here in Fort Wayne. I spent the weekend visiting my sister in Indianapolis. It was the first time I have seen since the death of her husband. She is getting along as well as can be expected. We went to the art museum and gardens at Newfield’s. It was onlyContinue reading “Rainy Day”

Final Chapter

Life has kept me quite busy. Mostly I have been recovering from the death of my close friend, Judy Post aka Judi Lynn. I know she would be most upset with me for not keeping up my blog here. Well, I’m getting started again and have started writing again. Yesterday I finished the first sceneContinue reading “Final Chapter”

Recovery

I know it’s been a while. It’s taken me time to recover from the loss of my dear friend. I’m ready to go at it in earnest. I made up my mind a few nights ago. I’ll be going back to Scribes this month and that will help. We are also planning for our firstContinue reading “Recovery”

Judi Lynn

Or Judy Post as she was known locally to friends. Today is a very sad day for me as I lost my friend of 44 years. We raised children together, wrote together, and lived life. Judy was a fabulous cook. Her Ansel and Jazzi novels were filled with her own recipes. She blogged regularly andContinue reading “Judi Lynn”

Back to Work

After 3 weeks off, my day job work week starts tomorrow. Another 7 days. I am still working on getting the house and yard ready for winter. It’s quite a chore. Still making a few repairs and have 2 repair people coming out this week. I have been in the last of the plants. IContinue reading “Back to Work”

Celebrati

I’m celebrating the end of Chapter 22 at last! That is the second trial scene of the book. The question now becomes whether I move on and write the last two chapters of the novel or go back and redo Chapter 20, the first trial. I think I will move forward and do the finalContinue reading “Celebrati”

Trip to Baltimore

I’m back from my trip to Baltimore, and it was a wonderful trip. Inspiring in every way. I’m inspired to get my yard and house better organized and to finish my book. I actually spent about half a day working on Chapter 22. Yes, I’m still working on that chapter but it’s going well. It’sContinue reading “Trip to Baltimore”

Baltimore

I’m planning a trip to Baltimore to see my foster daughter. We haven’t seen each other in a number of years, so it should be fabulous. I won’t be gone long, less than a week, but we will make great memories together. I sent her photos of the cats. I need to make a listContinue reading “Baltimore”

Work Day

I have started another work week. Always a struggle to get anything done at home on these days. No more writing yet, but a hopeful heart. Someday I will be able to give up my day job. First you dream of going to college and getting a good job, then you dream of being ableContinue reading “Work Day”

Charging Ahead

I got a lot of writing done on Tuesday, before the writer’s meeting on Wednesday. It felt really good to be successful. As you can see, I’m trying to blog more. I’m enthusiastic about getting back into the writing, though I still have a lot of yardwork to finish up. The writer’s group is alwaysContinue reading “Charging Ahead”
