I guess the biggest news right now is that I've given my website a facelift.  (My hubby helped...a LOT!)  I'm not the most proficient website designer...I'd rather be spending time with my family...or reading...or listening to music...or working on my genealogy...or writing...or, well, you get the idea.  However, I think it looks pretty good.  What do you think?  Please go to my contact page and let me know.  Be nice!

Family news includes our little grandson who was born in September, 2008...on his mother's birthday!  He is such a joy to us.  Our son says he loves him best.  I don't know about that, but I do know that he lights up when our son enters the room.  The little guy also has some pretty strong feelings for Pop and JuJu.  Our daughter went back to her teaching job on December 1, and I babysat him until she finished up the school year in May.  Although she is a wonderful teacher (she finished her master's last year...we're really proud of her for that,) she and her husband decided that she should stay home with him indefinitely, so I'm back at my computer now!  I miss seeing that little fellow every day, though, so every now and then I pop in on them for a little visit.  She is keeping a friend's baby, a  sweet little girl, and is really enjoying her.

Still other family news is that our son has finished his accounting degree and taken a job in north Georgia.  He still enjoys playing the drums and has already helped them out a little at his new church there.  Other than touring with his former band, this will be his first shot at life on his own!  Another newsflash is that he now has a girlfriend!  We met her recently and she is a really sweet girl!

Our son-in-law just finished up his master's this summer (2009!)  He is very glad to have that behind him!  As well he should be!  We are very proud of his accomplishments.  He is a terrific teacher and coach and was selected Star Teacher 2008.

Last but certainly not least, my wonderful husband is enjoying playing with our little grandson.  Sometimes after a long and tiring day at work, he comes home to find that the little fellow is here for a visit.  He gets really excited when Pop walks into the room!  (The feeling is mutual.)

Other news is that I started writing my second book as soon as I sent the first one in for publication and am hoping it will be finished and ready to send to the publisher soon.  That's when I plan to start the sequel to To Catch a Fallen Star  that everyone's been asking me to write.  It seems that folks want to know what happens to Chris and Macey, so hopefully I can start the conclusion of their story soon!

To everyone that received my e-mail on October 31, 2009, I apologize that your e-mail address was displayed.  All the e-mail addresses were supposed to have been hidden.  It was a group e-mail.  I have no idea what happened.  Again, please forgive me.
