I'm Back
My attempts to add pictures have failed. But I'll keep trying. My computer had two viruses over the last couple weeks. Tom got them off, but apparently some settings still need to be tweaked.
Just to catch up, though . . . I left you hanging with curiosity about Shawnee State Park Lodge, didn't I? Plus, Tom has pictures from the Indy 500, and you've got to get a look at Miss Hiss (my elderly boarder) before she goes back home in July. She's looking very plush and beautiful now--much better than her infamous photo shoot in the winter.
Back to Shawnee--it was cool. We'd like to go back when the weather is nice, and it'd be really beautiful in the fall. Our room had high vaulted ceilings and a private balcony that looked right into the woods. Birds and squirrels were just an arms length away. There were 2 olympic size pools-- indoor and outdoor, a couple huge stone fireplaces, sauna, whirlpool, restaurant, spacious decks and porches, lots of casual conversation areas. It'd be a nice place for a family get-together.
Since then, Tom's been putting in long hours at work. I've tried to work extra at the library, and Aaron got out of school and has been waiting tables at a pizza place. One year ago today we were on our way to Estes Park, CO, so I am doing a little sigh at the thought. Such a great vacation. Glad gas wasn't $4.00 a gallon last year!
WRITING UPDATE: I attended the local writers group a couple days ago. Between that and a good conversation with another writer I've had a lot to think about. Plus some other circumstances. I think the next step is to polish the book proposal and send it to publishers. God can take it from there. Thanks for checking in on me.
