Monday, Spetember 15, 2009

My idea of a cooool wise woman's cottage. Step inside and sit awhile. Gather my thoughts and start to work.

Home today. My first day off to work on my school work.

Seem distracted. Put some books in Bookpedia, read parts of several young adult novels. Used the steamer on the dirty kitchen floor - it worked.

Know have to change focus to my edublog and my thesis for the rest of the afternoon and evening.

How?

My Love of fairies

Dragons aside....

An update on the novel. Oh well, not much to tell. Read several writing books at Borders today. Where shall I start, there is the rub??
And I say once more, stay tuned.

The Meaning of Dragons?

So what do dragons mean in fantasy? In romantic fantasy? Are they good creatures? old? or playful like the picture to the left?

I am enjoying this blog

Hi
I know I am typing into the universe, yet I enjoy finally producing a good blog.

How to proceed in this blog

I have enjoyed writing posts to this blog. Now have to get organized and concentrate on novel and thesis and my weight loss.

Update on Novel

Looking for the best software to help me write the novel. Not decided which program will work.

Hard to get beyond the basic interest and compile story.

Attempting to learn how to insert graphics

Ok here I go


So that worked, yeah.

Another graphic

Attempting to continue to prepare for Nano writing in November

Names of characters:
Roslyn means gentle horse
Secondary character: Gin - Faith What???? Going to look up at name sites, then go to Nano site, then back here.

Cathy and Verna enjoyed going to Taylor-Bray Farm

The two ladies I care fore really enjoyed picking blueberries. But there were not many to be had. Both were sad about this and were concerned about how they would be able to bake a blueberry pie on Wed.

Not to worry, Granny Smith Apples to the rescue!!!!!!!

Cathy and I dropped Verna off at her home, then got back to Cathy's home by 3:45 PM.

On a very different note, the hydrangeas in front of Cammett Road are ready to dry. Stay tuned for Monday's update about drying hydrangeas.

Hurricane Bill is a No Show

Cathy, Verna and I are going blueberry picking if the weather stays almost dry. We have planned to bake a pie and make vanilla ice cream on Wed. Unfortunately very few blueberries to pick.

Wed. we will have to bake an apple pie.

WE ALSO VISITED SCOTTIE AND FIONA
