Short and Sweet!

Yesterday I wrote my first blog and I'm hoping to learn and perfect this as the time goes on. Today has been a really busy day but nice. It's almost 9 PM and I will keep this short. In one month we are supposed to fly to Denver where we will visit my son and his wife and our new grandson, Ezra, who was born in December 2007. After that we will attend the CO Christian Writers Conference and then return to Florida early on the morning of the 20th. John and I are "snowbirds" and spend half a year in PA. We actually live in Montrose and each July the Montrose Bible Conference has a writers conference which I try to attend. After all the price is right!

But for many reasons including visiting our family, I felt like this is the time to attend a different conference as well. John is finishing up a novel that he plans to title "Earth Is Not Alone" so that is part of the reason. He rarely attends conferences so I am surprised I have talked him into attending this one. I think it will stimulate us into action as his book becomes a reality. I have not written a book but I have increased my output of publications this year. One of my favorites goes along with the picture you see on this site of John, me and our son, Ethan, in Israel about a year ago. When I returned from Israel I wrote an article entitled "Israel in My Heart' which was published in "Maggie Mae," an Orlando newspaper (along with the picture.) Then last summer it was published in the Melbourne section of the Florida Today newspaper under the title "Israel Revisited" along with the picture. I like both titles and was extremely happy that our 35th Anniversary Trip was actually captured in print! Now I need to concentrate on writing some articles to show editors of periodicals in CO! I'm sure this month will fly! And as I said, as a senior citizen I want to make my time count. I'd better close or I'll have to change the title of this blog.
