Time to blog again.

It's time to blog again. I don't really know why I even want to blog or why anyone would want to read what I have to say. But here goes.


For those who know me, you'll know that we, that is my husband and I, are puppy raisers. We are presently raising two puppies, our ninth and tenth pup. Thomas is one year old and Jesse is six months old. They keep us very busy. This was something I have wanted to do for more than twenty years but it is now time to hang up my lead and do other things.


I have many interests. I think I have too many interests. It causes some frustration when I do a little of this and a little of that. By this and that I mean learning to play both the piano and the cello (no not at the same time, even I can't do that!) I dabble in patchwork and quilting, and writing of course. I also like to garden and meet up with girl friends for a coffee and chat. Then there is housework, shopping and keeping my very patient husband company.


He patiently watches me flitting from one thing to another and I'm sure he wonders how long this particular phase will last. I wonder that too sometimes. But most times I just keep running from one thing to the next without wondering about it at all. I have also set myself a goal to read through the whole Bible in one year. Do you have any idea how much daily reading that takes.


I tried joining a book club, but found that I could not finish a book in one month. I wondered why I could not do that. But of course I know. I'm doing too many other things.


So now I'm blogging AGAIN. Which probably means I won't be writing my novel. Oh yes, that is one other thing I'm doing, I'm writing a novel. I've taken some good advice and getting a few friends to read some of my work. It's rather daunting. It's much easier saying "I'm writing a novel" and not letting anyone read it. It feels safer. The feedback I am getting has been encouraging and very helpful. I appreciate the changes that have suggested.


Well, I have to go now. My Thomas, that's what I call him, even though I know he isn't mine, is asking to go outside and in any case it's time to feed the dogs and start our dinner. I'm so glad that I have some freezer meals ready to go on days when I get the bug to blog.


Bye for now. See you soon, I hope
