It's Been a Month

Dad,

  It's been a month since you left us. Mom is doing well. We are taking her to dinner at Gracie's on Friday for her birthday. 

  Megan is still in Florida on vacation. Jason is having his first sitting for his senior pictures. Diane and Kim are preparing to start another year at school. 

  Mike had a window ledge give out on him at work and fell into a 4 foot window well. He was home for two days with that injury. Did some soft tissue damage and comes home limping every night. 

  Finally sold my house. We closed on July 31st as planned. Money is in the bank with the exception of the CMU student loan for Megan I paid off. Still have three for MSU. But we're working on them. 

  Secrets was re-released today. I'm hoping it sells well. The cover looks awesome and it is in normal type now. Only the poetry book to redo. I have a mystery box series coming out for 12 months. If it goes over well, I will look at a second one. Hoping to finish Macy book 4 this month.  My class again only has one student, but I'll take one every time. 

  I'm looking at three new authors for Lilac Publishing. Not something I planned, just something which fell into my lap. Nothing from any of them until next year. 

  Cut off my hair. It was just too hot to keep it long. Mike says I look like Peter Pan. I like it and it's easy to maintain.

  Dean has been up again to spend time with Mom. Had to go home early to take care of an air conditioner problem causing a leak in the bathroom. 

   Savannah is getting ready for her first year of college. She's going to be a smashing success. And she already has friends who are there. 

   I have found something natural to take for my blood sugar. The goal is to be off the Metformin by the end of the year. Cannot use all the products the company makes, but can use the important ones. A bit pricy, but living is pricy.

   Paying the final light bill in South Carolina today. Going to get my Michigan driver's license. Then hopefully I can get insurance for the car so I can go get plates tomorrow. Working with MEEMIC again. 

   Went to a wedding last weekend in Rose City. It was the marriage of one of my first students 28 years ago when I started teaching up there. Very nice service. I was pleased to be invited. Saw some old friends and former students. Going up later this month for another wedding. Mike and I are going to stay at Diane's that weekend. Looking forward to it.

   Well, if I am going to accomplish anything today, I need to get busy. 

Miss you every day. 

Love,

Becky
