This & That
October 4, 2008
I see that it's been awhile since I last updated.  Sorry about that.  Life happens, you know.

A few things have happened since July.  School started for the kids - Ezra is now a senior and Thomas is in seventh grade.  So far, things are going okay.

The first week of September was spent on a Caribbean cruise.  Yes, we managed to dodge the hurricanes, although we did have one rough day on the outer edges of Hanna.  Not bad, though.  The weather was nice, otherwise, and St. Thomas and St. Maarten were beautiful.  Had a great time and really enjoyed the sun and warm weather.  It was a good family vacation.

Not too much has been happening since our return, just school and work.  Ezra registered to vote and signed up for selective service.  He's eighteen now.  Hard to believe. 

The Holiday Bazaar held in Raven Hall on the fairgrounds will be October 25th & 26th.  I will have a table and will be holding my first book signing.  So, if you happen to be in Palmer, stop by, say hi and buy a book.  (Yes, I'm shamelessly trying to promote myself. )

This past week was absolutely beautiful.  Sunshine and blue sky, something we haven't had all summer.  It's been cloudy, cold, and rainy today.  I wouldn't be surprised if we woke up to a little snow in the morning. Yuck. But it is Alaska and it is that time of year. 

I have also updated the excerpt on my website, so please check it out if you haven't already....and PLEASE pass on the news about my book to anyone you know.  Thanks!!
