I remember writing letters as a child and always starting out after the greeting: How are you? I am fine. :)
That’s
a bit of what this post will be as I see I haven’t written a post since July.
Yikes! However, my life has progressed onward, joyfully.
My
cousin and her husband came to Elko all the way from Illinois via Texas at the
end of July. I did so appreciate them taking the time and making the effort to
do so. I got to share the beauty of Lamoille Canyon and the fascinating

August
saw a delightful weekend at a local (as in the foothills of the Rubies)
Christian Retreat Center enjoying a spiritual re –charge via great
presentations and God’s spectacular creation.
Cowboys Rest is located at the
former Sherman Stage Stop. The Retreat offers options of sleeping in a cabin, sleeping
in a covered wagon, sleeping in a teepee or really roughing it and sleeping at
the lodge with indoor bathrooms/showers:).
My friends and I slept in a teepee, up close and personal to nature, albeit on
a bed. Really glad the snakes from the pond didn’t wander up our way. (Sorry, I can't find my picture of our teepee.)
The
first part of September saw another book birthed—at least in e-book form. I’m
hoping the paperback edition of Debra/Deborah will be available from Amazon by
the end of next week. Stay tuned on FaceBook for the actual announcemen.
Mid-September
found me in Ft. Worth to help son Jeffrey celebrate his birthday. Saw a couple
of Tiny Houses that a local university had built and visited the Botanical
Gardens. It was fun to re-connect
with Jeff and his friends.
The
end of September included a trip to Reno and a great visit with friends who
used to live in Elko—Roy and Nancy graciously housed me in their lovely home
and I got to meet their delightful grandchildren who live up the street from
them.
October
was nose to the grindstone month working on getting Debra/Deborah into print.
My first proof copy looked good but as I read the text aloud, agains! I found
many changes needed and a few errors. Those corrected, the next proof copy has
been ordered. And that
brings this “letter” to a close.
How
are you? (Doing well, I hope.)
I
am fine.
Blessings,
Pat
