A Little Vacation

I've been in Indiana all week visting family and my grandmother in particular who is not doing well at all. If only we didn't need these pesky hips. When I break mine, I hope it's doing a saucy salsa or running from a mountain lion, something adventurous.
So I'm back and have another purse to show...but I'll be posting pictures later, of my purse and the sweet black kitty that befriended Mom and I while in Indiana. I'm about to sign off to finish typing the rest of the novel that I have written in longhand. I feel like the what I have now of the novel is the pencil sketch. Soon I'll be outlining it in ink, and then I'll add the color and dimensions. At least that's how I feel it's working, not necessarily how I intended it to go. This is the longest I have worked on any project, and the longest any project has been. I'm in uncharted territory and it has been an adventure figuring out how to make it into a real story. It's like raising a child (I imagine), in that I thought I knew how to do it because so many have done it before me, but turns out I don't have a clue! And I'm just bumbling along, doing the best I can and hoping it won't hate me when it's a teenager.
I am enjoying the ride though. And at least with this child, I don't have to deal with diapers.

I love your attitude about breaking your hip! Though I really recommend taking calcium and hoping that you don't ever have to experience breaking any bones in old age.
