Thanksgiving

In the United States celebrates Thanksgiving the last Thursday in November every year. In my family Thanksgiving is a big celebration as we basically have a family reunion. During our celebration, we express gratitude to all the farmers, ranchers, and everyone else involved in bringing us the food we enjoy. We give thanks to God for the blessings in life and we remember our family members who are now in heaven. We also follow our parents’ lead to use this day to bring cousins together to celebrate family and keep the tradition of celebrating with extended family – as family is everything. For you and your family, I hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving when and where you celebrate in the world.

I am very excited for the Boomer Series…

WHAT I AM UP TOO!

Life

I wish I could say I have been doing a lot of writing, but as they say, you can plan to do one thing, but life can throw you a curve ball, and life sent a huge one my way. My brother, Mike, who was not even sick, left this world. It was a shocker. It is amazing how a person can be so full of life, have so many plans with his family and then poof. No more. His family and mine can continue on knowing that Mike, who loved our Lord, is discovering just how great His love is. It is hard to breathe, but I have to take a deep breath and give thanks for the time we had. He was visiting John and I about 3 weeks ago and we made plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Who knew that hug, and love you, would be the last we would ever have? So please, love your kids, loved ones, and tell them just how much they mean.

New Book!

I am very excited for the Boomer Series…

What I Am Up To!

I am currently working on editing one story for ‘Boomer the Curious Bunny’ series. It’s fascinating how you can think a story is ready, but stepping back for a few days allows you to see how much more you can improve it. Once more, I go back to the editing phase of writing.

First Blossoms!

Last year I planted a Morning Glory Tree near my home. I enjoy the blossoms on the tree so much that I recently purchased a new one and planted it in my front garden. It has taken several months for the tree to settle into its new home. I am thrilled to share with you a picture of the first blossoms. I love how Morning Glory’s wake up in the morning and goes to sleep by noon. Now you can have them on a vine and/or on a tree.

Interviews

I have a busy month ahead with several interviews lined up.

  • Wow Podcast

Interview with Miss Liz!

I always enjoy my “T.E.A. Time” with Miss Liz. What I love about her show is that she doesn’t rehearse it. Her style of interviewing is perfect for her listeners.as they get to know the spear and what makes them tick. Enjoy listening to the interview!

How I Came to Know Her

My parents purchased a new home, and it was the month of October that we moved to our new home and it also meant a new high school. It is never easy to be that new student for anyone, and I was experiencing it firsthand. My saving grace was choir and theater.

Rehearsals just started that week for the musical Oklahoma and I sang for Mrs. Angelo and she agreed to let me in the show even though tryouts were over.

That act of kindness made my life at the new school exciting and I felt like I belonged. The night I received my Thespian certificate was meant so much to me.

From that day forward I would jump hoops for Mrs. A. I was not the popular girl, or the one who would get parts as I had much to learn about acting but I would soak up every word she said.

She taught us more than just acting; she taught us about life’s difficulties and how to survive in life. I was in all 4 high school musicals and later community theater and professional theater.

I owe it all to Mrs. A. I had the opportunity several years ago to catch up with her and let her know just how much she meant to me.

When I heard she passed, I was in shock. There are some teachers you feel will live forever, so I wanted to pay tribute to her in my newsletter. She will always be a star in my book. I guess the angels needed her to begin rehearsals for a glorious Christmas celebration. Thank you, Mrs. Angelo, for all the kindness and gifts you shared in the world.

9th Grade – Mrs Angelo holds an award night to welcome the new Thespians to the club. I am receiving my Thespian Certificate.

Remembering Danny

I would like to take a moment and remember my brother Danny. We lost him several years ago to diabetes. What a dreadful disease. I do not know about you but in my case I did not realize how many memories we shared until I started telling a story to my younger brothers and of course they were babies and they did not know what I was talking about. I could not call Danny and say, “Danny, tell them this story really happened.

My daughter Katherine wrote a song and recorded it for him the night he went to heaven. Angel at Dawn. She referred to a tree, which was one Danny and I climbed when we were kids. I hope you enjoy the song. I would love to have your thoughts.

Charlie and the Tire Swing Receives 5 Star Rating!

I am extremely excited to share with you Charlie and the Tire Swing wins its 5 award. Please read the 5 star Review from Lit Pick.

Invited Author

I had the pleasure to reading to the 4-year-old at Michael’s Episcopal  Day School in Austin, Texas. I always enjoy being in a classroom. I enjoyed reading Harry the Camel to them and sharing where Harry the Camel lives. What it is like to be a camel and then read the story. We created a make believe sandstorm as we read the story. It was great fun, and the children learned it is not nice to teach and to love yourself just the way you are.

Gardening

Everyone find inspirations in their own way. I have several ways, but lately it has been pulling weeds and planting new flowers and bushes. When I was small, I would make mud pies in the backyard with my little white cat, Angel, watching me. I guess gardening takes the place of mud pies and my dog, Remi, takes the place of my sweet kitty. New ideas come up when you least expect them. It is not always about books, it can be family things, memories of watching my mom garden or my dad mowing the lawn with the push mower (the days before gas lawn mowers). I would love to hear the things you do for inspiration.

KINDNESS

The simplest acts of kindness can go a long way. Here is one of my many gladiolus flowers I grew to give to friends.
