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/

Flexible Life, Plans Change

Greetings from Mississippi, "Wait.... what? You are in Mississippi?" you may ask. Yes, I am. Last I wrote you I had a wonderful plan. After riding the New River Trail in Virginia, I would attend a Sisters On The Fly (SOTF) event on the border of Virginia and Kentucky. Then to the Virginia Creeper Trail starting at Whitetop Mountain, then I would make my way to Myrtle Beach and then meet up with friends to ride Jekyll Island. A great plan with some great places to visit and some friend time too. And I was living the plan. I was at Breaks International State Park with the some Sisters. Then I got a call from my friend Jean in Mississippi. She just got a bunch more clients and was asking if I could come help her with all the paperwork involved. She treats trauma victims with a special treatment called EMDR. And she is good at it and helps people. What better task is there for me? The timing was perfect because I was just thinking that I was done being a tourist. I have

Hello! My nephews wife commented that I have not posted in a while. My sister replied, "She's been having too much fun!" But it isn't all waisted play-time, some of it is taking care of myself and things. For Example This morning I got up early, by six, and decided I would write to you before I was to meet up with folks for a "senior" activity that my sister had arranged, a pontoon boat ride at 1:00. It is kind of a neat program that is in Wisconsin and Minnesota called "Let's Go Fishing". They give boat rides or take people out fishing. Qualification to get a free ride, you need to be a veteran, or disabled, or be over ... I don't know what age qualifies as "senior citizen", maybe over 62 or over 65? I needed to go for a walk first to get some exercise in because writing and sitting on a boat are not good for the body. So I walked on the road by the campground. There was fog and the woods were popping with the drops fall
