I dunno about you, but I’m ready for the weekend.
I spend the first week of every month doing all my non-writing work – all my accounting, analyzing and creating advertising, line edits, reading books for editorial feedback (for Sunrise Publishing), sometimes reading books for endorsement, and organizing tasks for the rest of the month.
We had a small tragedy at our house this weekend.
Not life-threatening, just…
Well, you be the judge.
I made my holiday rolls. I wish I’d taken a picture – but they looked like this:
I also made a batch of cinnamon rolls…
They were delicious.
You sort of made me cry.
First – thank you to everyone who submitted a recipe! Soooo many great recipes…you made me hungry! And so many sweet entries accompanied by memories of grandma, or mom, or dad, or uncles. You got me thinking about my Mom, and all the love she put into Thanksgiving.
You getting hungry yet? I keep opening up my email to yet another delicious looking casserole to make for Thanksgiving.
Alas, Thanksgiving is going to look a little different this year for us. We’re not traveling, and no one is traveling to us. With our house still being repaired, we’re in Florida for T-day,
Hubs and I found a new market in town this week. It’s called “Thrifty” and it’s filled with all these international foods…

Hope you had a great weekend. We have friends over on Friday night…and did this.

You know what? I did a thing. A big thing. A “Susan-couldn’t-stand-to-make-people-wait-any-longer” thing.
I published Steinbeck A MONTH EARLY!
I know, I know. The original release date for the store wasn’t until next month, and honestly? I hate waiting too.
I feel a little like JoJo here when I have to wait.
Happy Friday!
So, it’s going to be a quiet weekend. I said goodbye to my youngest son who hopped on a plane back to his home/work in Kazakhstan. He teaches ESL at a college, and while we miss him, it’s great to see him doing the things he loves.
