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...

Back In Florida, Reuniting With Routines And Folks

Hello from Inverness, Florida! We made it back to what I consider my home base, Inverness, Florida, on October 26. Since then we have been kind of busy. I love my Florida routine. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I have morning exercise with friends and then the gym for weights and PT exercises. Tuesday and Thursday I ride with the Withlacoochee Bicycle Riders (WBR), and on Saturday I meet WBR friends for breakfast. I love these folks here. Unpacking and Reloading My truck was parked in Steve's Garage without the cap. The engine started right up and the interior didn't smell musty. Yay! My trailer, LILAC also did not have bugs or mice or any moldy smell. The next day I moved into my assigned camping spot at Oasis Mobile Home and RV park about three miles south of downtown Inverness. It is a small spot and it took me a while to get it into position. All my neighbors were out trying to help me with directions that didn't make sense....

Grateful for Head Nets in the Boundary Waters of Minnesota

Greetings from Grand Marais, MN on the western shore of Lake Superior, I hope this finds you well and smiling. Thanks to those of you who commented or sent a reply or text. I love hearing what you are doing and keeping in touch. I need to warn you, there will be a lot of pictures here, so skim if you want, pause if you are curious. It is beautiful here near the Canadian border. There are remnants of very old mountains, lots of waterfalls, and parts of the coast of Lake Superior look like the Northeastern coast of the U.S. We traveled north from Duluth to Grand Marais, some of the road runs along the coast with grand vistas. We saw there is a paved bicycle trail in places. The Gitchi Gami. We parked and walked up it a way to get a better look at the lake and one of the car tunnels. At the top of the hill we saw a young woman learning to rock climb. There are existing clips all up the side of that rock over the tunnel. There we also fo...
