I'm back

Hi everyone,

Yes, I'm finally back. Before I forget it, I needed to add kelly on the address for Korana's blog. Sorry about that. So it is waynekoranadenverandwillakelly@blogspot.com. I am sorry for the confusion for anyone who tried to see this and couldn't get to it.

Okay, I am ready to put some pictures on my computer. I have everything hooked up except the fax. Now, how do I do this? Don't have a clue. But I intend to fiddle with this until I figure it out.

I just finished getting my quarterly sales tax ready for the proper authorities. Now I can get back to New Beginnings. I am getting more excited about the story line every day that I am able to work on it.

Korana is busy coaching volleyball like she has for years and that keeps her very busy. That also means Wayne is busy with three little girls.

Shawn and Lesley had a break over the weekend because Shawn Jr. and Ben spent it visiting Aunt Mary and Uncle Rob. Ellianna enjoyed being an only child but frequently wanted to know where "her boys" were. I understand they had a great time.

We are looking forward to flying to Nashville next week. We are leaving on Monday and returning the following Tuesday evening. I can't wait to see my family out there. Bryan is doing well after jaw surgery last month and I haven't seen Sam's haircut yet. I hear it's very nice. Looking forward to spending time with Gin. We also hope to spend some time with Ron. I understand he is coaching hockey and so may be very busy but we will probably be able to see him a little bit.

School will start here in a day or so and I'm so glad I am done with getting kids off to school. I know our two great granddaughters in Florida starting weeks ago. It was very nice to see them here a few weeks back. I really miss them. We had a lot of fun. Even getting caught in a thunderstorm in Stony Brook Park couldn't damper the pleasure of our being together.

The Saturday after we get back from Tennessee we are attending out nephew's wedding. I guess our next two or three weeks will be busy.

I'm going to scan some pictures so let me close for now.

Until next time.

May God Bless you richly.

Denver & Willa

Hi,
It's been a few days but I have returned. I've been busy writing New Beginnings and after the long break I had to take in July I'm ready to move on quickly, I hope. Wait till you meet Will, he is a very interesting guy. He isn't what I had planned because as usual each character takes on a personality of it's own.

I encourage you to check out Korana Kelly's blog called GlitterBug. It's great. I just read it and my girls Denver and Willa have been horseback riding. The pictures are precious. Sound like a proud Nana? Yes, I am. I've always loved horses so these pictures are the best. You can find it at http://waynekoranadenverandwilla.blogspot.com

If you enjoy nothing I write today but view this blog of Korana's I will be happy. I have put off getting a MRI done of my neck for personal reasons and my neurologist said "okay", just to let him know when I could do it. After almost two months I have had only minimal discomfort in arm but now that I am using it again (a lot) pain is coming back with a vengeance, so I guess I'll need to make that appointment.

No pictures yet cause I still need scanner etc. hooked up. I am looking forward to having this very soon. Hate to go but I need to work on novel before hand says stop or else.

Until next time.
God Bless Y'all

Gift

Well hi everyone. Tuesday night was a special night for me. It was girls night out and this time we celebrated my birthday. Yes, it was late but we had four different schedules to work around. But it was worth the wait. We went to Outback in Henrietta to eat then went back to my sister-in-law's house and I received a hp printer, copier, fax and scanner. Now, I'm really excited because I have wanted a scanner for soo long so I could put pictures on my computer for all to see. I hope Shawn will come out and get it all hooked up real soon. I'm sure he will. I know he is busy with his family and I hate to ask but sometimes I just have to.

Sorry, I have not been on here but I still have not bought the cable I need. Sometimes I can get on and other days the computer just refuses to let me on. Now I need to get on i universe site and check on sales for WHAT'S DONE IS DONE. Don't forget you can order it online at Barnes and Noble and other book stores. Also at Amazon.com.

I want to say thank you to the lady who e-mailed me to say that she liked the blog and how it was set up. It's encouraging to hear this and I wish I could be on this more. My Day Will Come. Anybody old enough to remember that that was a title to a song?

Kathy, I just tried to get you on Skype. Hope to see on there real soon.

Until next time,
God Bless y"all

Computers

Good to be back to say hi. I've been having some issues with my computer and I am pretty sure we can have them corrected early next week.

Thank you everyone for the wonderful birthday wishes that were posted on face book. I was very touched. My honey took me, Scott (his birthday too) and our grandson Seth out for dinner. It was a very relaxing evening.

Moving ahead with New Beginnings has also been an issue but I plan on getting things back on track as soon as this last thing is taken care on on my pc. Just waiting for a little money to get the part.

Tomorrow is one busy day. We have a church meeting at 9am, then, Matt's graduation party at 2 and then Mary and Rob's 25th at approx. 5pm.

Sunday a special speaker from Africa. 10:30 at Family Worship Center in Geneseo. In the plaza with the movie theater. Can't think of the plaza name. Then a picnic at Stony Brook with family from Florida.

So I just wanted to take time to say hi.

Until next week.
God Bless Y'all.

Time Flies

I just opened this and it can't be that I haven't written since June 9. Can this be possible, I thought it was just a couple of weeks and I was pretty down on myself for going that long. Well just get movin on is the attitude I am taking.

Korana, I have just looked at your blog and can't believe I passed up that beautiful trip. The pictures are great. But I need to tell you the news that friends were able to visit your adopted son through Compassion was outstanding. Okay, I cried as I saw his pictures and how happy he was. How blessed you and Wayne were to have this experience. I don't think many people can communicate with their adopted kids after they are grown. I know we weren't able to even though we had the same boy from a little guy till he grew up and had to leave the program. They told us the only way it can be done is if we knew someone who spoke his language and then someone here who could interrupt his letters back to us. We do know he became a mechanic. He somehow managed to stay in the program till 22 and I guess that is unusual. Mpagi was from Uganda.

We finally made it to storage and I found pictures that I forgot even existed.

I spent a week house sitting for Wayne and Korana and I was so busy I was only there to sleep most of the time. One kitty, Sneakers 'AKA' Buddy decided to go out and stay gone for two and a half days. The little stinker.

I just talked to my Aunt Evelyn and she sounded real good. She and my Uncle Fred have had company and so have kept busy and I think she likes this. I hope I am as active at 92 as she is. But I'm not telling her age.

I just donated a copy of WHAT'S DONE IS DONE to a non-profit organization and they were thrilled to get it. I hope to get some feed back next time I am there.

The only new thing around here is that life keeps getting busier all the time.

Hey, Marge, I found pictures of Jeff and Judy's wedding reception. Can you believe it? Nancy and ED and Linda and her late husband plus many others. I have one of you too. I'll send it to you if you want. Just let me know. Your mom wants to know when we are coming back. I told her I'm not sure but hope before cold weather.

Got to go and get cooled off. My next goal is a scanner so I can put pictures on here.

Until next time.
God Bless Y'all.

Family

I just read Korana's post about the playground. We live by an elementary school like she said in her blog and sometimes I admit I get frustrated by the noise of kids yelling and having a good time outside during their recess. What's up with that?? I guess I am getting old. They are just normal kids having fun. So, I am trying to look at it differently. I know that Denver, Willa, and Adalyn will continue to be happy to play there for some time yet and that makes me very happy. Ellianna, Ben, and Shawn Jr. enjoy it too. I just wish they could all come more.

I have chosen to house-sit for Wayne and Korana instead of going with them to Virginia Beach for a week vacation. Now you all must think I have lost my mind. But listen this will be so good. I can visit my Aunt Audrey, the individuals that I used to work with when I first started at the Arc of Monroe, and also visit Shawn, Lesley, Shawn Jr., Ben, and Ellie. And last but not least is I am going to make it a working vacation and I will be working on the book without pressure (from myself) to do housework etc. I might even talk my honey into staying a night or two. Sound romantic? Could be!! So, all said I think it was the right decision for me this time. Maybe there will be another time to go.

Scott and I are going storage picking this week. I really want to find some things we have stored and I am sure they are in the back of our storage unit. I wouldn't think of trying this alone. I am not that crazy.

Please pray for my friend, Kathy who broke her leg a few months ago, and has needed another surgery. I haven't heard how that went. She might not be up to contacting me yet. I'll update you all when I know more.

Until next time,
God Bless Y'all (I can see the smile Shawn)

Computers

Today I have tried to get on several websites and apparently the internet is too busy to allow me access to where I want to be including Face Book. This is kind of frustrating.

The paragraph above was written yesterday. I continued it and had a lot of information in this but had to Save it and Publish Post later. When I went to do this a short time later all I had was the couple of sentences above. I was too frustrated to do it again. Here I am and my honey just pulled in and I need to get him something to eat before church.

New Beginnings is coming along nicely and I'm about to introduce a new character in the next chapter. I'm excited about this but am not sure exactly what kind of person he will be yet. Face Book is getting too busy and complicated to get on so I might not be on there often. We'll see. Sorry to cut this short.

Denver and Will are in their Dance Recital this weekend and we probably aren't going to be able to go. I will be working till 7am and not getting much rest. I'm sure Korana will be posting pictures. If you are on her blog or want to be it's called Glitter Bug. I'll have to ask her if the complete link can be reached from this one.

Until next time, and very soon I hope,
God Bless y'all
