A life of woes, problems, accomplishments and joys

Life as usual goes on with all the problems, woes, accomplishments and joys that we all deal with. I've spent a lot of this year dealing with complications from a serious bout of bronchitis last winter. I'm feeling a lot better now and look forward to spending more time writing instead of coughing and feeling like I'm going to cough up my lungs.

We (husband Bill and daughter Katie) went to Spokane in June to be there when my great-niece, Regan graduated from high school. Congratulations to her mom, Christi, for helping her accomplish that and to Regan for doing so while never missing one day of school from the first day of Kindergarten. Regan plans to attend Spokane Community College in just a few short weeks. We're so proud of her.

Katie & Ryan (daughter & son-in-law) just celebrated their 1st year wedding anniversary. They are doing well. Working opposing shifts in their jobs, but that happens to a lot of us.

Bayley (grandson) attended summer school for five weeks this summer (I'm so glad as he's so bored now), and really enjoyed it. He's looking forward to First grade beginning next week. His dad (my son Kenny) is looking for work - we hope he finds a job soon - he'll be so much happier.

Had a loss this summer - my dear Aunt Peggy passed away. She will be missed by so very many people - but, we'll see her again some day when it's our turn to go to heaven.

A great big CONGRATULATIONS to my friend Shari Whyte for the publication and release of her first novel "Stelladuar: Finding Tir-Na-Nog". Which happens to be the first in a series of five. Pick it up at your local book store as it is well worth reading (even though it's a Young Adult novel) whether you're old, young or any where in between.

I'm still working on my novel "Devil Wind" although most of the work lately has been lateral instead of progressive, at least the story is continuing to evolve. I've also written a couple of short stories, the latest of which my writer's group (SFWC) will critique tonight, plus a couple of poems. So, the writing does go on whether it's in journal form or in the form of a story.

That's all for now - hope to see you here again soon.
