Leap Year!
     Well, we are approaching the pinnacle of Leap Year...February 29th is in sight. Have to admit, whoever made the calendar we live by was a bit imprecise...an extra day every four years to catch us up. Humph! If we did that in the books we write...somebody would certainly leave an 'unbelievable' review!
     Speaking of reviews, it never ceases to amaze me how many nice, kind and caring people stop and leave a review on one of the books I have out there. Of course then you have the professional negative reviewers as well. If a book isn't to their taste, whether it's well written or not, they skewer it. But to all those nice folks out there...THANK YOU. A good review is the highest praise we can ask for as writers.
     We just put in a a new patio with Old Chicago pavers. Amazing! Anxiously waiting for the landscaper (Landscaping by Anthony, landscapingbyanthony.com) to put in the plants. We are very pleased with the effect the white fence and the pavers have made.
     More than a third of the way through the next Falls mystery. Still don't have a title which is unusual for me. More than halfway through editing the paperback proof of Brotherly Love, the 16th in the series. Carolyn gets it next. Thank you Sweetheart.
     Went to poll workers training yesterday. There are three poll days we'll work this year. March (presidential preference primary), August (regular primary) and November (regular election/presidential election). Long days but we feel good about doing our 'civic duty'. We still volunteer in the hospital on Tuesdays as well. I wheel out discharged patients and Carolyn works on the labor and delivery floor.
     I'm on Twitter, in case you're interested.  TheFalls_VT is my twitter address. Makes sense, I hope. I'm not much of a Twitter person, but it's another way for people to relate and see a bit of what The Falls series has to offer.
     Our daughter Stephanie and her husband Joe are now in Italy. Joe's in the army as a Lt. Colonel. They are stationed near Venice. Must be a whole new world!
     As Grandpa Burman would tell you, Take care and be kind to yourself. I would add. May the dragons watch over you...
