I’ve been giddy writing this family book

I’ve fallen behind with my posting here because I’m so caught up in a family project.  I don’t know how many of you have reminisced about your childhood, which is what I’ve been doing a lot of with my sisters lately.  I forgot about some very funny moments.  When they remind me, we have a good laugh over the phone or email.  On the other side, some events that make us mad too, but most of them are funny or appalling.

 Sometimes I look back at those times and wonder how we all survived into adulthood.

 I’ve been working on this nonstop for the last couple of weeks now and have one more chapter to write.  It’s been an ongoing project for the last ten years, but was put on the back burner to pursue other projects.  It will be good to see it finished up.  So we’ll have it done soon now except for corrections.

 I’ve decided to do the binding here with my binding machine instead of sending it out to a POD.  It is for family so this will do to give out to my siblings and to pass down to the next generation.

 It’s amazing to see how we all started out on the farm before computers or even TV and all the other technology we have today, and how far we’ve come over the years.

 Happy Labor Day everyone.

I think I'm a hopeless insomniac

As usual I was awake most of the night and this had nothing to do with the missing piece of crumpled paper from last night.  Once in awhile I can actually sleep all night and last night was one of those occasions.  The normal state of affairs is for me to wonder the house in the dead of night and go through a pitcher of water in the process.

Unfortunately I never sleep well or much, especially when I’m into a project and that is most of the time.  Today I’m trying to work on a book I’m ghost-writing and the challenge is to see how much I can get done while the cats are napping and before its time for dinner.
