Today is Ty's 16th birthday. Talk about needing prayer. I can't believe I'm that old! :-)

I spoke at Horizon church in Cincinnati Ohio on Tuesday to two women's groups and it went very, very well. Praise God for that. Met some really neat ladies.

Today I begin first drafting Quaker Summer. Have lots of time to make up for due to the beginning of the week. Ideally, I'd like to have written 30 pages by the time Saturday night rolls around. With the outline finished, at least I have a good idea of the direction in which I'm going. This will be interesting to see how working this way pans out.

My laptop crashed and has been sent off to Apple. Pray it's not something unfixable. I'm at Panera right now, working on Jake's, which he's been banished from until he pulls up his Science grade.

I trust you all are doing well. So far, we're surviving here. Our first really cold day, and the drafty old house we live in is trying hard to warm up, but no luck so far. At least downstairs. I can't imagine what our utilities bill is going to look like! Ack!!! That's almost a scarier thought than writing three books in a year. Actually, upon further reflection, it's just as scary!

Thanks so much for supporting me in this way.
