Hello all,
I am a 51 year old grandmother of 5, budding novelist, hopefully someday. I would have been a stand up comedian but I'm not a night person. LOL

I was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease about 8 yrs ago so writing can get to be a bit dicey ( where's a free secretary when you need one?)

A friend reccomended this site to me, so I look forward to getting too know all of you. Remember laughter won't fix everything but it sure makes life interseting.

Welcome Gypsy!

I see you're from Missouri. My Dad was born and raised in Kansas City, so I spent a few weeks every other summer, visiting what I used to call, "tornado country." I still have several Aunts and one Uncle, plus lots of cousins I don't really know, living in the Kansas City area.

My Aunt Emily, for whom I am named, lives in Fulton. I haven't been to Missouri in decades, but I do stay in touch with my Auntie.

If you're a "budding novelist," you've just connected with other published writers and many "blooming" writers.

Our Sammy and John-John are our only grandchildren. But two is better than none and they are very much loved by me, their Grammy, and my husband, known as Pop-Pop.

Five grandchildren must be one, big party!

I look forward to hearing more about your novel!

Blessings,

Emily in Maryland, where the ice is going down the drain

Welcome gypsy! You'll fit right in, and I look forward to getting to know you better.

I'm 49, two sons ages 20 and 15. I'm not a night person either - maybe we could start an "early bird" comedy club for us old farts who can't stay awake?

Welcome aboard gypsy. Maybe you can be a sit-down comedian and write humor.

Please tell us why you chose that screen name.

Welcome aboard gypsy 51,
I've been to Branson, twice. I know that Joyce Meyer is from Fenton, not far St. Louis. And it's a pretty state.
I too am a budding author. Keep smiling. Perhaps we'll run into each other on the forums.
Prayers and blessings,
