Personal Projects:
Family Cookbook – Mandy asked for a cookbook with my Granny’s recipes in it. She also suggested adding stories from the aunts about their memories of Granny cooking these foods and the first time they tried cooking. I really love this kind of a family history and I and am just starting the contact with my aunts. We are in luck as I have a number of Granny’s favs that she gave me before I got married. I also plan to add some pictures too. Delivery of project: hopefully Christmas 2008.
I read a neat book by Amy Grant while trapped in the Great North. She outlined her influences in her life and music. I loved how she related her faith, family into these sweet little stories and I want to do something like that for my family so they understand how much they mean to me and the impact they have had on my life. I have written 3 very large sections of this project. I am working on the pictures for each section right now. Delivery: Christmas 2008
Both of the above projects are really for personal use and will be self-published. Guess what everyone is getting for Christmas this year! 
Short Story Collection: My grandparents told me all kinds of wonderful stories when I was growing up. I have written a number of them down and plan to compile into a collection. I want to have a more consistent theme between the stories and not sure if I will keep them split between my mom and dad’s families or just a single family or order them and provide more transition between the stories and make them a single book or stick with the collection idea.
Shoe in the Middle of the Road – my novel. Completed the outline and 3 chapters. I am not sure if this project will ever see the light of day as it is something I just have to express to finish working out my first marriage issues. If I still love it when I am finished and it passes the “it’s ok to have it in public test” from my kids, then I will try to sell it. If not, I consider it very good therapy at the expense of a keyboard or two!
My poetry – always a work in progress and I am ready to work on the getting published part of this process. I have 15-20 that have been extensively work-shopped and I like them….
and that is the status of my personal projects. Updates coming…sometime!
