Comments on Uncle Mike's Love....

I read your story last night before I went to bed…. in my estimation this was the best one yet.

The characters seemed so familiar and I could visualize the places like "Millies Cafe" on 42nd where I would go after high school for french fries for a quarter.

The neighbors Ella and Orin - and old lady Carlson.

I especially like the little things like the kids way of telling directions and the flower metaphor with the dandelion.

Keep up the great work

Santa Maria, are Chris Columbus’ stories good! Her characters are very thought provoking, whether they might be peons or Queen Isabella herself. They take me to new worlds. Her stories are very easy reads, whether only a few pages long or 1492. This Nina can write. I am glad I discovered her.

Sometimes there is no denying it

Of course, Ruth likes to pretend that she wasn’t playing in the laundry baskets. I like to pretend that I can eat anything I want and not gain weight. I also try to convince myself that thinking about writing is as good as typing the story.

Reality check…back to creating habits.

Another Habit is to...

Walk the treadmill every morning...Ruth thinks this new habit is great. When I hit my stride of power walking at 4.2 miles an hour Ruth tosses her squeaky toys up on to the treadmill. I hop over the toy and it goes zinging off the back...Ruth happily retrieves the toy and tosses it back on to the treadmill. So far, I've been able to dodge the toys.

New Year....

This year instead of setting goals....I am out to create habits...one would be to blog more..
