Just one more and I will go on to something else.

My Artwork

I thought I would take a break from daily things and post a piece of my art today.

An evening with friends

Last night Ron and I had a wonderful evening with a special group of friends. We all know how much these special friends mean to us. Wonderful food, lots of laughs and memories from years gone by. What more could one ask. Everyone kept teasing me about taking notes for my next book. Hmmm now for a title lol.

When we are young and carefree we do not think thirty or forty years in the future and what these precious times will mean to us. Some of us at the dinner table have been friends for over thirty-five years. Some we just met last night but the feeling was one of something that can last forever. 

Great way to wake up

Well, what a way to wake up in the morning. I just found out that yesterday I sold two books internationally. One to Japan and another to Singapore. I would assume the people who bought these have already bought the first book. I love the fact I can see where the books go but it would be nice to who they go to. This would give me a chance to thank these people for their support. Wahoooo international !!! Not bad for only being available for two weeks.

Carol, my sister in law got a big surprise when she opened her book. It was printed upside down. I of course replaced it but what a hoot it would be as she is sitting on the bus or in a doctor’s office to see the weird look on the faces of the others as she is reading a book that looks like she is reading upside down. I would add, “It goes to show you what we from other planets can do, stay tuned and I will show you how I can read it sideways.” lol lol

Feeling nostalgic to day

Today I was feeling nostalgic and my mind has been wandering to my youthful days. I wrote this a very long time ago and thought it might be fun to publish it again. Some of you might have these same thoughts.

Lost Friendships

Whatever happened to that friend,

I had so long ago?

Sharing dreams and sharing tears,

Together fighting foe.

I often think about that friend,

Wherever she might be,

I often wonder how frequently,

My friend will think of me.

Time does pass and life must change,

We all must go our way,

And as I watch my children,

I’d remember how we’d play.

It really, is so very sad,

What miles and years have done.

They have, taken the best of friendships,

And erased them one by one.

Whatever happened to that friend?

I loved and cared for so?

She is only just a memory,

Of a life so long ago.

A touching story. Hope to hear more stories. I guess I will just have to wait. It is a great read!

Good morning Chris just wanted to tell you your book is great I have finished reading it, did it in 2 days . Remember the idea for your new book well you kind of started it already in chapter 39 ;Share a Smile; take it from there. I think a book needs to be out there from you, how humour and not through drugs or negativity speeches. Your way is the only way, laughter and friends stories and maybe some from your Blog SAS when you had your group on pain. But take a much needed break from writing enjoy this ride on your latest book, maybe in the new year. Thanks for the memories and for including us our ‘Grandmothers club’ in your book. Friends forever. Looking forward to the new chapters of other amazing stories in your next book.

luv Kathy
