Busy week–appointments and getting ready for trip to GA next week. I will be at Fitzgerald library 0n Tues 3/27 at 7:00pm and in my home town, Swainsboro, on Thurs. 3/29 3:00-5:00 pm. Rumor has it that both are expecting a good turnout. The best part will be seeing old friends and family in both places. Myra must present herself well.

Fri 3/9 Busy and fun week. Visited Greenville Women’s Club on Monday. Wonderful to be in their historical and discuss my book with lovely and gracious ladies. Today met with St. Francis Life Wise Book Club. Again a lovely time with great ladies (do only ladies have book clubs?) Everyone had read both books and discussion was rewarding to me. One reader even said Angie was her most interesting character. Also sent books to Kanuga for their gift shop.! Love that Now Myra and I will take the weekend off. Granddaughter, Allison, will be confirmed into Episcopal Church on Sun. Happy & proud time

Tues 3/6
Spent last weekend at St Peter’s Women’s Retreat at Kanuga–relaxing,refreshing, renewing and plenty of fun. Came home recharged. Mon morning book presentation at Greenville Women’s Club–beautiful historic home and a room filled with gracious ladies. i enjoyed this os much and came home with less books and a really good feeling that Myra had told her story well. Today–if it is not too cold–I will take a little walk on Swamp Rabbit Trail with my son and lunch at The Hardware Store in Travelers Rest. Life is good.

I still have teacher habits and love Sat morning. It is the day that nothing is scheduled so it is all mine. Since I can’t list on my events page without going through webmaster, I will here. I am very excited to be visiting the following during the month of March:
3/2 Greenville Women’s Club
3/9 St. Francis’ LifeWise Page Turners Bookclub
3/27 Fitzgerald GA Library
3/29 Swainsboro GA (my hometown) Library.
Plug in a few doctor’s appts, committee meeting and church activities (it is Lent), retreat and March will be full—I love it

Delightful book visit with the lovely ladies at Oakleaf Village. Surprised to see an old friend in the group who was there visiting her mother. She appreciated the fact that I was carrying a TAPPI bag—that’s an old paper mill memory since both our husbands worked together & attended these meetings.

I have two book clubs next week. I am ready to get into this again and hear readers discuss my story. I always wonder if their discussion would be different if I were not there—well I do love to hear the good stuff.

finished taxes today–rejoice, rejoice

Every time I work myself into a self-indulgent states of gloom, God surprises me with a ray of hope. I started this day early hoping to find that ray of hope. Another rainy. Maybe this will come from another source.
