I've been neglecting the blog lately, not sure when you dropped by, but thanks for letting me know you're still alive and well. I've been traveling back and forth between Florida and north GA, helping look after my father. Not much time for writing lately, but I do have some pretty exciting news. I'll shoot you an email soon and let you know what's going on. I hope life is treating you kindly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34499700.post-39427879493813598492008-06-28T05:48:00.000-07:002008-06-28T05:48:00.000-07:00Hi Sweetie,I was cleaning out my favorites folder ...Hi Sweetie,<BR/><BR/>I was cleaning out my favorites folder and rediscovered your blog.

I'm grateful that I had people who care'd about me enough to do what they did. I certainly wasn't going to do it on my own. But now that I've been given a second chance, or third, really, I want to make the best of it. Life is good today, and thanks for taking an interest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34499700.post-88357489655841978592008-06-14T05:55:00.000-07:002008-06-14T05:55:00.000-07:00You titles your last post 'Inspiration', but reall...You titles your last post 'Inspiration', but really, I think that should have been the title for this one.

Otherwise, I wouldn't know you.<BR/><BR/>And by the way,I swear to you I wouldn't think you were making half that stuff up, as you mentioned - but hey, use it in your fiction. That works pretty well, when you can stand back long enough that it almost feels like fiction to you anyway, or that it happened to somebody else. Which, in a way, it did, right?<BR/><BR/>Good luck with taking care of your Dad. I thought you were already up there - I was off by a week.Robin S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03258459688300851984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34499700.post-33222174954252269332008-06-13T08:44:00.000-07:002008-06-13T08:44:00.000-07:00Congrats, Wood!
