The Symbolism of Fall
We can learn much from Booker T. Washington’s life and the quotes of wisdom he left for us to understand about life. One of my favorite quotes is: “The happiest people are those who do the most for others.” Email me as I would love to hear from you about the acts of kindness you have or are doing for others.
BookFest
The Bookfest 2022 was a great success! If you missed it, you may watch the replay by clicking on the word BookFest. BookFest is for everyone who loves books. I was honored to be a guest during the Halloween Author segment. I was interviewed by celebrated author A. G. Billing and acclaimed producer, Herbie J. Pilato.
I did a snippet reading of Charlie and the Tire Swing! I hope you enjoy watching the interview. I am about 7 minutes and 20 seconds into the interview. Be sure to check out the work of A. G. Billing and Herbie J. Pilato.
Trunk or Treat!
When I was growing up, Halloween was mainly for kids. My parents bought us simple costumes, “Masks.” We loved those masks and could not wait for the night to begin. I generally went with my brother Danny, and we were proud of our paper sack filled with more candy than a child could ever imagine. Of course, we had to turn the bag into our parents for approval.
They enjoyed some chocolate before we saw the bag again. It was a fun night. This past Saturday, my husband and I participated in our first “Trunk or Treat” at our church. We had fun figuring out how to decorate the trunk, and the children enjoyed it.
Of course, I dressed in my witches’ costume as it seems to be a favorite among the young children at church. What did you do for Halloween?
Chateau Bellevue
I recently became a member of the Austin Women’s Club. The women’s group us involved in many projects in Austin and one is to preserve the history and the Chateau.For you history buffs here is a tiny bit of information but be sure to check out the rest of the history by clicking on Chateau Bellevue or better yet join.
“Built-in 1874, Chateau Bellevue is romantic and elegant, with French Romanesque arches, beautiful courtyard grounds, a spacious ballroom, ornate hand-carved woodwork and stunning stained glass windows.
Chateau Bellevue has been the headquarters of the Austin Woman’s Club since 1929 and the Junior Austin Woman’s Club from 1940- 2019.”
World Jenny’s Day!

What Am I Up To!
What have I been doing – I had the pleasure of traveling to Virginia and Maine. Each place holds special memories and, of course, inspires more stories. I mentioned in my last blog how excited I was to turn in my first draft to Rise a Girl’s Struggle for More! I will keep you posted on how that is progressing. Also, I turned in a story to my editor, which is always an exciting accomplishment. I have more ideas floating in my mind; it will be fun to see where they lead me. Stay tuned!
