First Book Signing!

It's been a while since i was on here.  Biggest news is I'm having my first book signing tomorrow... during Canada Day activities up here.  I'm very, very nervous!  But will be glad i did it, once it's over :)  I haven't a clue about it... it's all a learning game... but i'm willing to learn.  I've been feeling excited and very nervous about it for days lol

Rilla has decided to go to Kindergarten.. big step... hard mostly on mama i think ... it'll be a hard day, but good for her. 

I met my friend who lives in Finland the day before.  We had a very nice kindredly time... we ended the day with a delicious walk in the rain to Wayne's Heaven :)   I gave her one of my books, and she gave me one well known book from Finland.  We loved it!  It's called Who Will Comfort Toffle?  by Tove Jansson... Rilla loved the little story.  

Other new things happening, but can't say them yet :)  soon though!  

will write later, supper calls :)

3rd Query Sent!

#3 query is gone to the land of what ifs... i gave them a 2 week exclusive.  Seems like when i put that in the query i do hear from them within that time.  This publishing company wanted the manuscript too... we'll see how it goes.

It's raining on PEI today.  I was hoping to get out and garden, but i guess not.  I got a lot done yesterday though and i'm happy for that.  So that means i get to work on book 3 :)  I'm happy with that lol   A great day to curl up with a blanket, paper and pencil :)  plus pencil sharpener and eraser for sure! lol  No computer for me when i do the first writing.  I love the old fashioned way.

Exam week for my daughter.  Must keep her at it lol ...teenagers!

I'm going to start posting 10 blessings when i blog...
Monday's Blessings...


Rain for writing.
I'm able to be home with a sick child.
Sleeping babies.
Dishes done.
Family.
Kids chores done without growls :)
A freshly made bed.
Home remedies.
Soft cool breeze coming through the window.
Being able to pray for a friend.

That went fast... i could go on and on lol  but i said 10 :)
I saw something on another blog that she'd have a list of questions and she'd answer them with each blog. I might ask if she'd mind if i did that too. Gotta find who she was first lol.

Editing here... Night Time at Ingleside... just had an update from Diana Gabaldon's blog about her new graphic novel... the blog said not to copy and paste the picture, but linking to it is fine..  Hope i did it right.  I can't wait for this to come out!  I'm a huge Diana Gabaldon fan :D

Love the writing i did today... story 3 is coming along nicely! about half way through :)

Maalai vanakkam Everyone... Tamil for Good Evening 

A Kindred's Poem

Just had news that a dear kindred of mine lost her mama last night.

My heart aches thinking of her pain.  It was so sudden.  Such a shock to the family.

I wrote a poem for her.

My dear friend lost her mama today

I cannot be there with her

I cannot take away her pain

But I can always pray. 

Pray for strength in the days to come

Guidance, understanding and love

But most of all a peace.

It will come.  I know.

I've never met this kindred of mine,

but, we would know each other!

My heart if her heart.

Her pain lives inside me.
