So much good news here! Chatty- Congrats! The way I understand it, if you ghost write something you can never, ever, ever, ever (did I say ever?) take credit for it. But WE'LL know and be cheering the project on. Oh and if you need a pinch...here you go (insert cyber-pinch here).

As for me, the agent ultimately passed on my children's book. It's disappointing but a nibble means I've at least got something going for me. I've decided not to devote myself full time to submitting my book until after the kids are back in school in the fall. It takes too much out of me and my life. Freelancing can be done in small chunks of time. But to get the books out there takes sustained effort and attention. So I'll be looking forward to hitting hard in September.

Keep up all the great work everyone. Individually we can make a difference - Together we can change the world! ~Karen

Yuhoooooo! Honeeeeey, I'm homeeeee. I'll give more details on the Alaska adventure in a bit, but for now, let's just say that it was a wonderful experience but girls, there's no place like home...and my grandchildren. When I opened the car door at the airport to go home, my oldest grandchild, Lea, who is three, said, "I'm coming to live with you Gan Maw." No place like home.

And now I have to go buy food as there is NONE in this house. SAVVY GRANDMOTHER...I can't wait to check out your articles! Welcome to the forum if I haven't said so before. I bet reading you columns is going to be one of my favorite things to do. What a cute name! WELCOME!

ps--yes, I use to have a newsletter but it was taking up wayyyyy too much time to write and Dotsie's such a slave driver, I had to let it go....whatttt? Okay, I jokes...

Queenie,
You're back. How nice, somehow it feels that all is right with the world again.
Can't wait to hear about your adventure. DId you ride a whale? See a Polar bear? Eat some Salmon? I'm instigating for some witty responses here you see......

I want to share the beautiful poncho made by our own Chatty!

This is my sister Amy, modeling and Chatty didn't realize it, but she made the poncho out of our favorite football team's colors, The Alabama Crimson Tide! ROLL TIDE! My sisters were fighting over it. I was in Chattanooga, Tennessee this weekend with all of my sisters and my Mom celebrating one of my sisters b/day...The second shot is two more of my sisters getting in on the act. This was AFTER the wine...






By the way, the sister wearing the poncho has shorts and shirt on under it! LOL! There was a big fight afterwards...Who did the poncho go home with? Why....the Queen...who else?

Chatty, expert work...as usual. You are such a doll!
