See that small fenced square?  That’s the historical grave site on our property. Two graves inside. And… The Photographer. Isn’t she adorable?

I’ve reached a point where the story is driving my life.  In fact, I get frustrated when I get tired.  Even my thighs are sore from holding this lap desk so much, yet I continue to go.  It’s just so alive right now.  I want a lap desk that doesn’t actually sit on my  legs.  <g> …

I’m such a dork.  My reward for either finishing this next book fast or selling the first one is this.  It comes out in June and I’m excited about it.  (This video is fun!) http://thesims3.ea.com/view/pages/videos.jsp Yes, I play the Sims.  It’s been a while, but a local artist I like, Nene Thomas, has been showing the fun…
