Twists of FateAl and I had planned a cross-country auto trip before we went on our recent cruise. We planned to visit New England to see the fall leaves, spend a few days in Washington, D.C. at the Smithsonian, then head south to drive back through the Gulf Coast and be in the Southwest when the weather began to chill here. … click here to continueSeptember, 23rd, 2005 To Grandparent or NotToday I wrote a list. I’ll probably turn it into an article. It’s titled: Ten Reasons to be Happy About Not Being a Grandmother. Each year I grow older, it becomes more likely that I will never be a grandparent.

That means I’ll have to… click here to continue September, 19th, 2005 A Fun VisitThis computer used to put the correct date in every day for me when I began typing the name of the month. Lately it just puts up whatever date pops into its puny little mind, so I have to watch it and correct it when necessary. Today we had a really fun time with my cousin and his… click here to continue September, 18th, 2005 Marketing and Travel ReportsBecause my book, Find Romance in Later Life, is for a specific audience, as opposed to a general audience of all ages, it’s difficult to sell at book signings. So, for the Writers Faire, I’ve decided to print up handouts for distribution. I’ll make copies of a recent book review and an interview about the book. Of course, I’ll have… click here to continue September, 17th, 2005 |
