What could I possibly mean?
I'm amazed and relieved that I finally sent my memoir off to my editor around midnight last night. How completely mind-boggling it is to write or speak those words! I'll post updates as I know of them.
This
is me during the years of writing my memoir.
(No,
that is not an earring, it is the doorknob behind me)

I extend my sincerest Thank-You to all of you who've helped me along the way, by your friendship and your words of encouragement. There are way too many to even try to mention by name....but I think you know who you are! ☺
** And to all of you that I owe e-mails and/or snail mail, I hope to start getting caught up on those now, too.....Well, actually that would be AFTER I clean house for our Saturday's Family Thanksgiving!!...And I could possibly use a gentle reminder, too! **

If I could sing, I would sing this song to you! Actually that IS me singing. I dubbed my voice over the You Tube video! Nawww, I'm just kiddin'!

ReplyDeleteHi Becky, so good to meet you. And thanks for following my blog. I had to laugh out loud reading your post. At first glance, I did think that was an earring -- and then you said "it's not an earring." I cackled! :) Love your blog header too. I'm becoming a new follower.

ReplyDelete(I laughed out loud at your picture--not because you looked so funny--well, a little bit because of that--but because you felt the need to point out the doorknob. Hahahahahaha! You seriously crack me up, Becky P.)
Thanks, Estrella and Cathy C!
ReplyDeleteAnd Cathy, I wouldn't have thought to point out the door knob, except one of the other times I posted that photo, one of my buddies, Judie @ Rogue Artists blog mentioned it and she thought I had on a hilarious earring!! :D
