Thanks! Moving on!

Thanks to all who downloaded VADA FAITH free!

It's one way to get readers to read the story of one's heart.

I'm moving on now and proofing the copy for the paperback version.

Plus, believe it or not, this is not my whole life.

Husband was in the hospital for three days recently and then came home and brought the flu!
Whew. That was not fun. Especially for him.

I'm now preparing for a visit from our daughter, Jill, her ten year old triplets, and six year old son.
We cannot wait. They are more fun than a barrel full of monkeys. And lots of work!

It's rainy and dreary here in Ohio today but spring temps are here and I could not be more exccited.

I have more in this life than I deserve and I'm thankful to God for that.

Hope that you are in a thankful mode as well.

Many blessings to you and yours.

Back soon with more news.

    So glad your husband is home and recovering (again). I am saving your book for my trip to the States in a months time and looking forward to what promises to be a very good read!

    I've been reading Vada on my computer. But I've got a ways to go before I finish. I've been busy getting my manuscripts ready to mail out to WVWriters. Have fun with your grandchildren!

    I missed it. From the 7th until now, everything has been crazy. Mark's Mom had a stroke. Now they tell us (from the MRI) that this was not the first one. This one scrambled her words and thoughts. We are up to our ears in reorientation.

The Red Christmas Cane/A poem

It's been so long since I've written a blog I'm not sure anyone will even come by. But if you do, know that I appreciate your reading. I was cleaning some files and found this Christmas poem I wrote years ago. So I'm recycling my work again. I love writing but have spent the last five months reading, reading, reading, hoping that by reading all sorts of different genres that my own writing will improve. I have to admit though when I get into a good/great story, I sink in and my writer self takes a leave of absence. I'm still working on the novel about Sweet Baby James, a baby abduction. Hoping I'm making the story stronger than any I've yet written. So here's my poem. Enjoy! Have a lovely beginning to your Christmas season and God Bless! THE RED CHRISTMAS CANE  I was walking around on an old cane that year Grumping and complaining that the holidays were here. I looked out my window and as far as I could see There were lights, stars, and ang...

VADA FAITH AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

VADA FAITH is now available as a Kindle e book on Amazon. See bottom of page for cover. I'm so excited I could shout it from the rooftops. I would, if I wasn't so tired. I've never worked as hard as I have these last few weeks getting the book in shape. And I thought the initial writing was difficult. Then the worrying kicked in and I've fussed over every little detail. I can see why some call it "birthing a book." At least I don't have to sit up with it at night or listen to its cries. Or rock it back to sleep. I'm ready for a break. But it will be a short one. I'm starting to format the manuscript for paperback. E books are nice but I love to hold a book! I plan to work with Amazon to produce the book form. It should be available on Amazon by late spring or early summer. Those are my plans for the coming months! What are yours??? Any writing OR reading projects ahead? Please share.  If you have time please take a look a...

Mother's Leather Britches...

My mother gardened all her life. It was one of her great loves, next to family, God, and country. Because she grew up during the Depression, she learned to use every last item from her garden for canning, preserving, drying or pickling. Every year at the end of the green bean season she made leather britches, dried beans that would keep for the winter. These were the last beans hanging on the vines. The beans inside had grown to full size with outsides a bit withered. They were beyond the stage to can or preserve, or even to pickle. Although her fried pickled green beans and corn bread were the best in the world. (Well, next to her biscuits and fried apples.) Mother started the drying process with clean beans. She would spread a clean white sheet on a table in the wash room and spread the beans out on that, giving them space to dry. Sometime she would carry the sheet outside and put them on a table in the sun to further the process. The next step involved needle and thread ...
