First post in ages. So glad book stores are buying my "Life is Short" series again! Can't wait for fall season!

Is it okay to pick up pecans in a public parking lot? My husband says no. Killjoy!

Tomorrow completes my "20 Days of Christmas Green" on Facebook. So rewarding! Sweet comments. Rainy, balmy, 75 degrees on Christmas Eve.

Super day! Aerobics class, children's picture book manuscript editing, supper club tonight. Life is short, make it count!

Lunch today at Front Street Brewery. Yum! Then drove all around Masonboro Sound with Russell. Beautiful homes, nature, waterfront, dreamy!

No New Year's resolutions for me (it sets me up for failure). But, I plan to READ more! First up: "The Time Keeper" by Mitch Albom.

My November column for "Sasee Magazine," Myrtle Beach: "Blue Suede Shoes and a Blue-Eyed Baby" sasee.com/2015/11/01/blu…

Sent a manuscript to an agent today. It's a new genre for me. So excited! I believe this: "Today is the first day of the rest of my life."
