(in no obvious order of importance, but ALL important)
- Hurrah! The Practical Guide to Grandparenting has received the final edits from us and is now in the hands of the proofreader. Still scheduled for release on February 19th.
- Our editor left her job, with the last two chapters unedited. I believe I had a mini-stroke. (she finished them free-lance: Hooray Alyssa!)
- Our one and only granddaughter lost her first tooth! She received $5 for this feat, and immediately started wrenching on the next loose one.
- We got an honest to goodness real life literary agent! Grace Freedson's Publishing Network is shopping our next manuscript, even as you read!
- #2 son had his first concert last night, playing guitar in the North Carolina State University Jazz Ensemble. It was really cool to watch; made up for the 3 hour drive...
- BOGO the Dingo learned not to eat a pepperoni from the garbage can when it's attached to a mouse trap. She's still giving me The Look.
- Before mentioned literary agent has asked for our next next manuscript proposal. We are scrambling to produce.
- I made preliminary investigations into starting a bona fide business. Am now writing a business plan...must be why I took all them there accounting and business classes long long ago. Maybe.
- #3 Son has his first performance next Sunday. He is a trombonist in the Greensboro Youth Orchestra, which is only 45 minutes away.
- I got ALL the floors swept. Downstairs, that is.
- I am still going to physical therapy 3 times a week for my poor shoulder. I am up to lifting one whole pound now. Went to the dr. today, got a cortisone shot and another month off work. sigh.
Happy Veterans Day, and Thank You! You know who you are:
Bill, Dad Hewitt, Uncle Roger, Rick, Jim, Bob, Pike, Chuck #1, Chuck #2, Michael, Steve, Campbell, and whoever I missed that's going to let me hear about it. You have all sacrificed to give us the freedom that we tend to take for granted. Thank you, and God Bless.
Robin
