ANNOUNCEMENTS APLENTY
Fall is in the air…but not in Arizona. It was 104 degrees yesterday in Mesa. Heaven forbid.
Okay, I’m done complaining. Let me get into my September newsletter. I’ve filled it with ANNOUNCEMENTS APLENTY.
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT: We sold our home we purchased last year. Our reasoning: Why pay for a house when we’re not living in it for six months out of the year?
After much deliberation, Ray made a trip to Arizona in June to finish the work on the house and put it on the market. He also boxed up our belongings and stored everything. We’ve closed on the property, which makes us happy campers once again. Yes, we’ll miss the extra space. But the nomad life is what we enjoy. A sticks and bricks house will come later when we’re done RVing.
SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT: In writing news, you may remember that I presented my Tell Your Story Seminar at the Hill City Library last month. And boy, was I surprised when I got there. A reporter from the Hill City Prevailer News interviewed me (see picture above).
What a fun time, teaching and meeting lots of nice people. But one of the best parts happened in the parking lot while loading my car. One of the women from the class came up to me and said, “I didn’t have an apple to give the teacher, but I have this green pepper.” We both laughed, and I thought - as a comedy writer, what a perfect way to end the evening.
THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT: For the last three years, I’ve taught Tell Your Story at the resort where we live. But this year, it will be a little different. I’ve been hired to teach Creative Writing at their Lifestyle University. I’m excited and a little scared, but Ray keeps reminding me that I’m doing the same thing as I do in my classes – only on a bigger platform. I’d appreciate your prayers.
Phew!!! I’m tired just writing all of my stuff down. So, how are you doing? Let me know any big ANNOUNCEMENTS you have in your life.
PS: And I can't forget, please keep Florida in your prayers.
Until next time…
Blessings!
