Hi Leslie!

    I liked it.   But I will confess that I see Ennis not Heath in all his movies now.    The facial expressions, etc etc.    I kept wanting to see Jake/Jack run up to him and give him a big hug.

Hiya folks!

I am very excited!  Ok so today, I picked up my beautifully printed and bound copy of the Laramie Saga, Books 1 to 3 from the Print Centre.  I am thrilled, all 887 pages and 55 bucks later..here it is .. :D





It is huge, even though the printing was done double-sided on each page..
Cheers Leslie for sending me them word docs!  ;)

Milli,

That is so great!  I will eventually have to work on something like that for myself.  Thanks for inspiring me!  (And, Louise, of course, thanks for writing for all of us.  I hope you're sleeping peacefully and free of pain, by the way.)

neither can I!  Maybe that's why my head feels so empty nowadays!

Or maybe it's those pain drops....

By the way, I know the hour is outrageous, but I got some relief during the night and just started type type typing away.

Okay gang,

The sun is starting to come up, but I have finally had some pain relief and that means ... you guessed it, chapter 76.

Yes, here I am again, your wounded author, the noontime meds have kicked in some and I am idling in chat and typity type typing away at chapter 77 as we wrap up at least a few of the loose ends of "Shelter From the Storm."

What a treat to wake up to a wonderful, touching chapter on this rainy Sunday morning.

Thanks, Louise.
