| I am glad my back is better, that fall is here and that today is my Mother-in-laws 91st birthday. I sat wrong last week and oh my--you never want to know how miserable its been .
Tall people should have been made without backs.
Another good thing, we go to Michigan in 10 days. |

The web site developer chose to include photography from my web site and will add a book cover, review and the book trailer for ghost orchid. This is great PR. The web site (of which this is just one page) is a realtor site selling Naples, FL

| I'm glad that I have a comfortable place to live and feel safe. I am sorry for those without homes, employment and a guaranteed meal. |

| I walked to the Madenburg castle today with Hermann Frech, the subject of my story. "On the Way to Siberia". We had dinner there with a great view of the countryside. Whenever I walk with him I get a history lesson. I'm glad I have him as a friend. |

| Like DK, i'm glad for a comfortable, safe place to live. i'm also glad for my family, for good food, healthcare, and for a few coins in my pocket. I'd like everyone to have the same. |

| I'm glad that when I fell into partial splits and onto my butt today at work, I didn't fall into the full splits and wind up in the hospital. |

| Abe, It is a grin I somehow inherited from my father. My husband took the picture and it's on the back of my book. No trouble yet though. |

| I am glad for cooler weather and another hurricane season without filling the water bottles or fearing the worst. Wow! I bought hurricane windows with the last of my savings in 2007 - and we haven't had one since. That "insurance" is getting less expensive each year we are hurricane free. In the meantime, I have nice double pane windows, a slow shut, quiet garage door and a more secure residence. When the windows are shut, I can't even hear the rain and just barely an occasional clap of thunder.
I remember on the sailboat turning on the generator and the VCR (remember those?) to drown out the terrifying sounds of 55 knot winds in the rigging about which I could do nothing and watch the taped tv shows with Michigan weather reports long past to keep from looking at bolts of lightning accompanied by crashes of thunder.
I am grateful for a safe place to live. |
