Those are amazing treasures! And your “ramblings” have turned into some wonderful books. 🙂

No, words for thought. Me too keeps stuff I’ve written years ago. Most of my rambling is preserved in five eight-by-ten blank books…naturally mostly fly fishing stuff. My writing treasures are my hand written legal pad notes and three IBM Selectric versions of D&J, and a hand written blank book version of Es. Why do I keep them? Egotism maybe. I will soon have two published versions to go with those manuscripts. Great for a class room study of the metamorphosis of writing a novel. Sheesh. The first drafts were written in hand in the 70’s.

The ones I miss the most were daily love letters sent to my girlfriend (the model for the one who broke my heart in D&J) and receiving same each day from her.

Miss you, too, Susan! I’d give anything for one of our bookstore coffee dates right about now. 🙂 ❤️ Thanks for the vote of confidence…I’m doing the best I can, and some days that doesn’t feel like enough. But yeah, humor definitely helps. I’m absolutely not a designer, and I actually love monkeys…but who thought those valances were an awesome idea??

I absolutely know you can relate, Steph! 🙂 2018 was a truly crazy year for both of us (and lots of other folks, I suspect)…but I’m happy to see you and your hubby and pup are nicely settled into your new homeland of Austin, TX. I’m a little behind you in that process, but I will find my zen eventually…lol! Love you, too, my friend. ❤️
Can’t wait to see where 2019 takes us!

I think you’re doing great. A move like yours is overwhelming for event the most organized of us, which isn’t me! You’ve learned the secret to house remodeling: go ahead and find the humor in all before it eats up all your best quips!

Love you sweet one. Happy for all of your writing and moving and redecorating successes! Big hug from your friend and fan.
