I am so excited! This morning I finished my first complete children's book based my my actual cat and our great adventure. It is so cute, I can hardly wait to print out the final copy with the pictures and all.
Since I am on the road, I don't have a printer with me, so I'll need to take my thumb drive over to Kinko's or something to print out my first copy! I just know this is going to be a really good thing in my life!
On Tuesday, Jack's writer's group is having a workshop on publishing. How cool is it that I can go with my finished book in hand. God loves me! Oh I can't tell you how cool this is.
How great would it be if Fluffy ended up being the answer I've been looking for? I can write a new book on each of the places we've been to and we could go everywhere (except England-where they quarantine animals for three months). The possibilities are endless! What fun to have something to get excited about, however it turns out. It has been so long since I've felt excitement like this. Nice :D If you want to hear it, give me a call...

The Adventure Begins
As you may have heard in whole or in part, I am in the process of designing my retirement :D As I write this I am in the final stages of packing my house for storage for the next three to six months (that's the corporate I, because I have lots of help). This frees me to travel some and get a feel for where I would like to spend my retirement.
It should not surprise you that I am interested in staying on the west coast. In fact, I am looking for a summer home on a lake that someone needs to part with and that I can live happily in.
I know my adventure is frightening to some, but please remember that I am the same woman that drove to California in 1979 with $176.87, for my younger readers, that was NOT a lot of money back in the day. That is to say that you should not overly worry about me, but I welcome all prayers on my behalf!
If you are nervous about my van, I have made arrangements to replace it when the time comes. In the meantime, I intend to drive it as long as possible to get the full value out of all the money I have invested in it. Plus, the setup is sweet!
I am leaving Burbank on Wednesday, May 12, 2010. My Blackberry Curve {which is new to me} has GPS, email, twitter, and many other features that I intend to become familiar with as I travel. Feel free to call or text me, though texting is a new skill for me - it is unlimited so I expect to become very familiar with it as I travel.
My twitter is goodhobbits as is my email goodhobbits@att.net. My home phone now has a permanent message directing you to call my cell phone number. I will not post that number on the blog, but if you email me, I'll send it to you (assuming that I know you).
I expect to visit Carin, Suzanne and her gang,then head north for a while and then east for the family reunion and a promised visit to Aunt Joan and Uncle Paul in Delaware. If you would like a visit, let me know and I will do my best to make it happen. Be advised that I am traveling with my dog, Coco, and my cat, Fluffy - which should provide me with some serious entertainment.
I do hope that you will enjoy hearing from me and wish me well on my journey.
