Lloyd, Bubbles and I drove up to Olathe, KS yesterday. It was one of those deceptive winter days we get here in Kansas: sun was out most of the way, cheerful enough for it to be Spring. Yet, it was cold (14 F when we left) so that anyone without a coat was in a world of misery within a few minutes of stepping outside. We had a good drive, and Cyb and Ryan came over to my sister's for lunch (Big Bubba's barbeque and salads). The kids stayed all afternoon and ran the dog in and out of the house.
The main reason for us to visit my sister was to attend a lecture by the author, Cathy Maxwell. She is an excellent speaker: pertinent, coherent, humorous and well-versed in her subject. After hearing her speak, I have decided to put aside my career as a novelist temporarily. I haven't got the energy to push my writing while attending my husband, the dog and a full-time occupation that already keeps us in bed and board.
Our quote for the day is from Robert Browning (1812 - 1889):
Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp - or what's a heaven for?

I love the quote. It is so pertinent to your objective of writing a novel one day. I hope that day comes sooner than you imagine.
Stay well and warm. We are expecting hurricane force winds tonight and tomorrow.

Olathe has the best corn on the cob second only to New Jersey! I met a woman in the supermarket last year over the corn and she told me to try it when it came out. I can hardly wait until this year's crop is available. Rushing things a bit but iut is warm here in Arizona!
You will continue to write though I hope. It seems as if once a person stops it becomes harder to rekindle it after. I do understand how full your plate is though. God bless you whatever you do.
