Hang on please

Getting ready to update y'all but hubby just pulled in and don't know how long I have because we are heading out to a early Thanksgiving dinner with friends.

I woke this morning after a real lively dream. Wow, really I thought, I could use this for a story,so on came the computer,(and without coffee) I just started typing. I was so excited that 1,200 words later I was amazed what a spin that short story took. Now to decide if after editing it, I might want to send it off to a magazine or for a contest. Anyway the high was worth the loss of morning coffee. Did I just say that? Yup, I did. I dream a lot, so why was I surprised when the first thing I could think of was getting it on my computer? I guess because this dream played out like a story begging to be told.

Door opens, hear lunch box being unloaded, now waiting in my little office but no one appears and no one speaks. Maybe it's the creature from the black lagoon. Still silence, oh wait he appears and smiles and says hi. All fear gone, I return the hi with a smile of my own.

No, this paragraph has nothing to do with the story I was writing this morning. Only certain people will understand the reference of the black lagoon.

Gotta go or we'll be late.

God Bless y'all my dear readers and family.

Crisp,fresh air

Good afternoon everyone. I have just come in from outside and the air is crisp and fresh. I am really enjoying this. Today the sun is out and it's a far cry from what we had all summer. I personally like very warm weather. But this last summer felt like the temperatures we had in Las Vegas and they were unbearable. So, I am developing a new outlook on the temps. If the sun is out and I'm smart enough to dress warmly, I am planning on totally enjoying the fall weather. Now don't tell my honey I said this, but I am even looking forward to our first snowfall. I mean the one that comes down with large fluffy flakes and is so beautiful it looks like a postcard picture. Of course I would like a mild winter also. I know get real, this is New York for crying out loud. Upstate New York. Okay, I get it but still a girl can dream can't she?

The other day I cancelled my lesson about pictures and how to put them on here because I had worked a long shift and was so tired that rest or more importantly more sleep was more important at the time. Everyone tells me putting pictures on here and face book from my computer is easy and Browse is the important thing to look for but I can't find a Browse place except when I actually scan the picture. I'm also looking into changing the format and colors of the blog. What do you guys think? Any suggestions? I'd love to hear them. I plan on checking out some other blogs for ideas.

Sarah, thank you for your encouraging word about the sequel. New Beginnings is coming along and I hope to spend more time on it in the coming weeks.

Christmas shopping is almost done and I won't have that interference. This will be the first year that I am going to try to enjoy the weeks just before Christmas. Usually I'm backed up with stress about shopping. I plan to use this time wisely and focus on Jesus and what he means to me.

Sorry, I need to run an errand before John gets home so need to sign off.

Until next time,

God Bless y"all
