Timeless Star arrived and is for sale

I still cannot figure out how to get a picture transferred to this blog. I'm going to get a lesson.  Timeless Star arrived from the printer last week.  It has been a terrible chore getting it to this stage, but it is and it's for sale. Order from DoubleDPress.com web site.  Then please let me know what you think. This is a bit different format than Guild in the Granary.

The summer is winding down and I'm not ready. My garden is a mass of weeds.  I have harvested a couple of zucchini(sp) squash, a huge amount of garlic and a nice lot of greens: romaine, kale and collards. I'm still back the beginning of June and we are already entering August.

I am working on promotional materials and everything else. Special thanks to Susan Brunner for her help with this. She is a marketing fool and has helped me tremendously.

The Grove City Writer's Group is in the midst of its Summer Scribbles writing contest for middle and high schoolers who live in Southwestern City School District.  Cash prizes will be awarded
at the Summer Sizzle concert in downtown Grove City on Friday August 16 at intermission
(about 7 pm).

I am finishing up editing and rewriting on Where have all the Flowers Gone? which is a memoir of  the first year after the death of my son. This is so much harder than I ever imagined and I miss him so much. I am grateful to have three other children and four wonderful in-laws.

Yesterday I made a small batch of apple sauce for the little boys. Surely they will love it. Peeling apples is one of the worst jobs in the kitchen. I didn't make much because I didn't want to peel any more. I am lazy, I guess.

Again I'm going to promise to do better with this blog. Do you think I will?
