No, I must think of it this way…there is still half a summer to enjoy. Yes, half-full/half-empty glass scenario. And what a summer it has been so far…a new granddaughter, Clara, and three of my nieces have given me four great-nephews/nieces between them. Yes, if you add that up, there is one set of twins. Sooo adorable. Writing? I’ve been quilting up a storm instead, but have been working on a short story for a Christmas Anthology for Scholastic that features my character, Noreen, from my book, “Dear Canada: The Polio Diary of Noreen Robertson.” I think this anthology will be amazing as it has an amazing selection of Canadian authors producing some great stories. Should be out Fall 2014. Keep an eye for it.
