She was doing that like fifteen years ago and I loved it and still use it, but credit where it's due.<br /><br />I steal from the funniest. :)<br /><br />The cabinets have been a nice buttery golden yellow for several years, but when the Harvest Gold range had to go I decided it might be time to change them. It's actually still a very nice color, so I'm not rushing to it. But the BATHROOM badly needs updating, so that's spurring me along at this point.<br /><br />Dena, congratulations!!!! I got my "your return has been accepted" from state and local just this week - yep, Turbo Taxing it.<br /><br />Lilac, she really has given us a wonderful home, hasn't she? I know I don't express my gratitude enough.<br /><br /><br />Janet, thank you for making this place so open and comfortable.

But a home. <br /><br />Thank you for praying for all the people of the world. In my own humble way, I will be praying for them too. Thank you for your immense generosity, and as Donna said, your wonderful spirit. <br /> <br />Have a peaceful Holy week and Easter.

The last time I messed with my computer, it took my husband several hours to fix it. I've learned my lesson :)<br /><br />I'll let you know if I see any llamas in various shades of Montgomery White. Or not.<br /><br />I just finished our taxes. We have one employee/W2 income and two small businesses. God bless Turbo Tax! But that means now I'm brain dead [I suppose this assumes facts not in evidence....] so not sure I'm able to cross examine a turnip at this point, but possibly a peach/pink llama.<br /><br />Dena Pawlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14444683810125395220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-41130546561343798942015-03-29T20:00:42.164-04:002015-03-29T20:00:42.164-04:00Colin, you've obviously been on Carkoon too l...Colin, you've obviously been on Carkoon too long, or maybe it's all the kale and lima beans you're eating.

I'm not saying she HAS to do this... heck, she could quit the blog tomorrow and she would already have helped writers of the world more than some of the best-selling craft books. It was just a thought.<br /><br />Mind you, the idea of setting up a separate blog for writing contests was just a thought, and look where it got me!<br /><br />Back to the fried lima beans and kale sauce.

It took several days for the reality to hit my friend, and yesterday she just fell apart. She and her husband have had blow after blow since they married, and I have them in my prayers always.

I thi...Thank you for investing the time in the WIR. I think you skimped on telling us what you did this week though. You told us of your paint color, which I didn't look at because monitors lie even more than our cats, but nothing else. The WIR should be as much about you and your week as a recap of the week's comments. We tremble in anticipation.<br /><br />All right, the query I sent you sucked more than a little but I was hoping for a holdover from my question dated 30 Oct. As far as what book to query it goes like this. I started out planning a sci-fi book but building a viable world takes a lot of time. The story is about the first people to leave Earth. As I was coming up with more questions at each turn I decided to write a thriller to set it up. That has turned into a series of three. I might do things the Lucas way and start with the sci-fi and run out a few but I want more time to world build. So it will be the book I queried you with. A Janet Reid still gets to kill the bad guy.<br /><br />I hope you Easter break refreshes you. We will all miss you and most will still be checking this site anyway, I'll miss all of you for a longer time. My doctor has cleared me to take the big flight on a silver bird. I'm off to beat my head against a wall in China tomorrow.Craig Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07157301156577795781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17040756.post-64354455549194330672015-03-29T18:26:49.012-04:002015-03-29T18:26:49.012-04:00Oops.
