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/

Slooowly making my way to Wisconsin, but first this, and this, and this.

Greetings! I am back in the lovely state of New York. This will be a long post with a lot of pictures. So skim if you want. I just wanted you to know I am still thinking of you and wanting to share the sites with you. I am on my way to Wisconsin. I have been on my way, kind of, since I left Florida in late April. But I took a few side trips. I wanted to see New York and Vermont and see friends in Canada. I wanted to spend time with Steve, I wanted to see Steve's New York home, and I wanted to meet his extended family. Right now I am near Niagara Falls on the American side. My friends, Jean and Keith are in a motel near my campground to visit me. I had planned on writing to you today. It will be my last chance to connect with you until after Steve and I return to his home to prepare for the Gap and C&O ride. In between, there will be lots of days of driving, a full week of riding in Wisconsin as Steve and I do a little tour, and lots of site-seeing and visiting friends

The Lovely Finger Lakes Region, NY

Greetings from the Watkins Glen Public Library. The library is in the same building as the International Motor Racing Research Center . Watkins Glen, NY has a 6.6 mile racing route. Watkins Glen State Park Watkins Glen State Park, where I am camped, is on a hill above town. When I drove in to get to my camping spot I saw a lot of the same brand of campers throught the campground. Altos were having a gathering. I had researched these campers when I was dreaming of driving the country. They are made in Canada and currently there is a two year wait to receive one once you order it. The first morning I was in the park, I drove part-way down the hill and then walked the Gorge, which is a big feature of this park. The instructions on the campground map was to stay to the right of a pond and then go down "Coaches Staircase". While I walked the Gorge trail, I kept saying "WOW!". The CCC's had created the stone stairs and walkways. Then I remembered Steve compa
