Well, here it is about12 hours later since I wrote Part One. So much for sharing updates, huh? At least I have good reasons. I DID get a lot accomplished today!

But, I'll write about that tomorrow because this evening I have a reminder, and an announcement:

      Hi Sheila! I agree about Michael. I cannot imagine how she gets everything accomplished in her BUSY life, and still has time to be so kind to everyone!

      Hi Mimsie! Yes, the days fly by and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it, either. It's just not fair! :)

    How very awesome, Becky! Remember to save me a copy of your book. I did browse it on Amazon and thoroughly enjoyed the "Look Inside" snippets. Looking forward to reading it all!

      Hi Pat! Thank you very much! And yes, I have a book "on reserve" for you! I rec'd a new shipment and these books have the matte finish cover and I really like them! You can have either, though, because I have plenty of both.

I'm still getting quite a few spam comments that are Anonymous, so I'm trying "User with Google Accounts." If anyone tries to comment that I know, and it won't let you, send me an email, okay? Thanks so much.
