Amazing, isn’t it, how one little thing can make you forget what day it is? That’s me today. It’s MLK day, and I totally dismissed the fact that it is Monday since there is no school or mail today. So here I am, scrambling to give you a peek into what the last week has been for me.
Not a whole lot happened this past week, but I’ll give you a quick snapshot.
Saturday was the month CROW lunch and meeting in OKC. There were 8 of us for lunch at SanMarcos on SW 59th St., and they were very busy. The food was great, the staff friendly, and the company at the table even better. Once we all filled our bellies, we headed down the block to the Almonte Library for our monthly meeting. Fellow CROW member, MarkJones, led a presentation on writing slow-burn tension versus sudden shocks, and how those techniques work across genres. After Mark’s program, we had our usual business meeting to discuss upcoming programs for 2026, the status of the NEST writing competition, and financials.
Sunday was my church’s quarterly meeting and potluck. Dang! There was so much food that I never did get to sample a little of everything. I may be biased, but First Lutheran Church does have several marvelous cooks and bakers in our little family-friendly congregation, where the children are starting to outnumber the adults. After lunch, the quarterly meeting went off without a hitch, with several items on the agenda voted on and passed.
Well, my friend, it is time for me to start making preparations in Quillcote for the arctic blast and wintry weather expected this weekend. Stay safe and warm, my friend.
I
can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life
as an author. I hope I have not bored you too much with them. 😊 After
all, other people's lives are never as glamorous as we may think.
May
your ereader or bookshelf overflow with delightful books to read!
Maxine
