After five years of crying, thinking, yelling, praying, loving, leaving, and doubting, I begin. Saturday, October 2, I begin writing the prelude to my book.
If you pray, please say my name.
. . . and happy birthday gypsy and Amy
I hope it goes well. 10-2-4 is a good looking date. 1024 is one of those numbers that is two raised to a power...I think two to the tenth.
um, I hope my trivia is helpful. or something.
Do you type it or handwrite it first?

I am always afraid that I will forget to pray, so I just did. If I remember again that will just be a bonus. 'to him who is able to keep you from falling . . . '
you'll send us a copy also? love granny
