A Letter to My Friends

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

Gidget, Pat and Peggy

exhibits of the California Trail Center with them.

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
