How's everyone doing today? I'm sure those of you who go to work five days a week, are thankful that today is Friday. Now you get two days off from work. Take note I did not say that you get two days off to do nothing! I remember just how busy the weekends were for me when my girls were young. I had the cleaning, grocery shopping and running around to do on the weekends. So, to all of you, I will say that at least, your busy times will be different than while at work.
As for me, my weekend will be much like the week days. I won't have any laundry to do, as I did it all up today. I will probably spend some time working on my hand made Christmas cards over this weekend. I now have 41 complete, so I'm about half way done. I enjoy creating these cards so much. Some of them took as much time as an hour and a half a piece, but it's what I do. It's my way to give back to God for all the blessings He's given to me. Hopefully, everyone who recieves one of these handmade cards will at least smile. Hopefully, they'll find two minutes of joy when seeing and reading them.
Well, I finished my second time at proof reading my newest novel, "Train-Trekking" With a Capital "T". It needs one more reading and then I'll be ready to send it to the printers. I'm starting to get excited. I simply can't wait to see it in print. It's the third in the series, but any one of them can be read alone.
If you would be interested in purchasing a physical copy of the book, please send me a message and I'll reserve one for you. It will be available for electronic reading on any electronic reader, PC, Ipad, Ipod, tablet, Kindle, etc. in another month or so. You will be able to purchase it by going to www.amazon.com. The first and second novels in the series, is now available on Amazon. They are: "Sassy" With a Capital "S", and "Crafty-Cruise" With a Capital "C".
I'm enjoying the change in the weather. I like it when it's cold overnight, but warms up during the days. Don't get me wrong, I'm not ready for temperatures down in the twenties, snow or all that goes with that weather.
Next week is Halloween. Where did this year go? Before we know it, we will be celebrating the beginning of another new year. I am excited about the fact that the Christmas Holidays will soon be upon us. It's my very favorite time of the year. Always has been, always will be! I suppose my dear Mother passed that love on to me. My oldest daughter has been posting on Facebook how many days we have until Christmas and/or Christmas scenes. Her friends are complaining, but not me. I love looking at them. They make me smile and feel so good inside. I truly wish those feelings of lvoe and joy existed all year long for everyone.
There have been three school shootings in the last ten days here in the United States. One of them was by a twelve year old student who brought the gun from home. I have to ask why on earth a twelve year old child (or a child of any age) would have access to a gun in their home. Where is the responsibilty of the parents. Every gun which is in a home, should be locked up in a gun safe!!!
We need to stop these school shootings before we loose one more child or teacher!
Well, I need to close for now. So, stay strong and healthy and have a wonderful weekend.
