Changes…
We have a new granddaughter. She is 5 days old and beautiful. She is also the catalyst for the change we will be experiencing around here. She and her big sister are spending gobs and gobs of time bonding with Momma and Daddy for the next few weeks. I’m on call … just in case… but I’m not expecting to be needed. I may drive down to see them because I will miss them and want time with them, but the three year old is no longer coming here three days a week like she has for the last year. We knew from the beginning that it was a temporary thing and I think because of that I tried to cram so much into our days together- lots of adventures and learning- but very little writing time. I tried to stay focused but mostly it was a year of editing and note taking.
It’s ok that things are changing. They are changing for the better.

Congratulations on the new grandchild! Looking forward to hearing more from you!
You’ve reminded me of that great line from the Ames Brothers’ “Naughty Lady of Shady Lane”: “She just needs someone to change her …”
Things are changing indeed.
Congratulations and I’m glad to know you can get back to writing.
@suzyQ_darnit - thanks! she’s incredibly precious (and I’m not a baby person!)
@twoberry - just in time too! the publisher just gave me the publishing date for book #2… May 24th… OF this year!
@jerjonji – I’m not a baby person either, but I expect to enjoy and adore my own grandchildren (if I ever have them).
Yeah, I think you just have to enjoy the time you have with the little ones and look forward to another stage in their lives when they will re-enter yours. Of course I’m just speculating yet because neither of our boys are married!
