Neighbors, Friends, Simultaneous Published Authors!

What fun it was this fall when my biking friend and neighbor returned to Florida to announce that she had just published her first book. ME TOO! I said. Well, almost. It officially releases March 21, 2019.

Alzheimer's Trippin' with George - book 1 in the series - is now available to order and receive in paperback.

THE KINDLE

The kindle is ready for pre-release orders. Then it is sent to people's devices on March 21st. On that date, the price goes way up!

If I get 100 pre-orders and some good reviews, then Amazon will take notice and start helping promote the book. Which would be great if more beginning caregivers could find it and feel more confident and competent because of it.

SPEAKING OF...

I have now three speaking engagements at Alzheimer's Caregiver Support Groups in the area.

The first one is this week!

If these go well I will be looking for engagements in other areas of the state.

I stopped in at Trailside.bike where I used to work while caring for George. They agreed to carry my books, so I will be taking some down there to them.

Today I registered to sell with the Florida Department of Revenue. Who knew there was all this stuff to take care of when trying to spread the word about the books.

This means I can have books for sale at the speaking engagements and at the book launch celebrations! Yeah!

And I am excited to announce that MLE has agreed to sing at the book launch event. This is a 14 year old aspiring singer. mlemusic.net/

Six-Month US Tour Starts In Florida

Greetings from Fort White, Florida, We did it. Despite mishaps and some angst, I am still feeling some angst, we have begun our 2024 Travels. Angst Last year we traveled together but I had Big Blue (my truck) and Lilac (my camper) with me. And though I moved stuff into Steve's trailer and stayed with him, on travel days I was driving Big Blue on my own, and I had all the stuff that I don't use very often in my truck and trailer nearby. This is our first full season traveling with one truck and one trailer. I am trying to adjust. Steve is very accommodating and a good partner for this trip. It's just me, worrying. And maybe some of the angst is world news, the US 2024 elections, and some of it is worrying about my son. He just changed jobs and then in a few days he got laid off from the new job making him un-eligible for unemployment because he had not worked there long enough. He will be fifty this year and I still worry. So if you k...

Fire, and Wind on "The Rock" (Newfoundland)

It is pronounced New-fun- LAND. Each time I say the word, I have to say it one or two more times because the new-fun part is said fast and the accent is on the LAND. NewfunLAND. Old habits and old pronunciations are hard to break. There are a lot of pictures and stories in this post. Feel free to skim or dive in, it's your choice. If you want to dive in, stop here and get your favorite beverage. It's going to take a while. Why Do I Do This Blog? I have several reasons for doing this blog. I blog to remember these adventures and times. I need a record of what I have done so I can refer to it in the future or to boost my memory. I blog to keep in touch with friends and family. I emailing and text some. But I love a lot of people! And this way you can choose how much you read. I can't bore you because you can stop whenever you want. I blog to share my travels, joys and mistakes with you so you can have some of the fun or com...

Florida to Maine

Hello! Long time no write. I have missed you! I turned 72 this week. I am fortunate to be one of the active and mobile seniors. Though my feet snap and crackle when I first get up, and my back demands constant attention to good posture, stretching and strengthening. I love that I can still walk, get up and down off the floor with ease (most the time), and bike. I am blessed and grateful for it. We are traveling again. This time with Steve's truck and trailer. And the highlight of our trip just happened two days ago. So read on, skim, or skip. There are a lot of pictures. **** We left Florida just a week after our plane landed from Europe. (To read about our trip to the Netherlands, Germany, and the Czech Republic, start here .) We packed up the trailer and headed out, taking two short travel days to get to Charlotte, NC where we visited our Florida bike and brewery friends, Ann and Jim. We parked and slept in ...
