I am thrilled to say my MC revisions fell into place yesterday afternoon. Two new threads popped up at the beginning of the week and they are weaving together nicely. I should have everything tied-up by the end of next week. Yippee!

Once that is finished, I need to wrap my head around the fashion styles and lingo of 17 to 19 year olds … can’t finish PP without delving into their hearts and minds. The journey of writers as we live vicariously through our characters, oh what FUN. Thanks Lisa N for suggesting the CW network for my research!

Until next time, do what makes you happy! Hugs, Christine. 

On January 30, John, Mike & I went to several shelters in search of a sister for Tango. While John & I watched this little black kitten in its cage, Mike found a small male who was gently patting the terrified kitten in the next cage. He was so gentle with this kitten and Mike called us over to watch. He looked just like Tango except he’s short-haired, Tango is long-haired. He seemed playful, yet sweet, so we decided to adopt him.

We got him home and opened the carrier. Within ten minutes, he and Tango were playing and hugging, and sharing nose kisses. Samba became the newest member of our family! And boy, what a perfect choice, they are best buddies. They take turns being the dominant one, they teach each other games, including the “I’ll snatch the food and drop it to you while Mom’s not looking …” one. They are a true gift from our other boys, Taco & Tequila - and they’ve brought lots of laughter into the house(s). They made the road trip from FLorida to St. Louis with ease and are now enjoying their second home!

What a joy they are. May you find your joys in life! Treasure them each & every day.

Hugs - Christine
