Old Truck
“Look at that old truck, out here in the middle of nowhere.” John said. “I bet it has a story to tell. Why was it left out here. Who parked it? I think it must be from the nineteen fifties. My father had a truck that bluegreen color, without rust.”
Marion said, “Maybe moonshiners, hid it out. It could have just gotten old and got this spot to sit. Do you think the fence was put up later? Someone must know about it? Take a picture, we can ask if the newspaper will run it. I’m curious to find out.”

GOOD MORNING !

I love my new home. Get up early. Dress, put on my
light jacket. Fill a cup, take it to the deck. Sit on the
glider and watch the steam, smell the wonderful
aroma, enjoying the cups warmth in my hands. The
morning is crisp. The jacket isn't quite warm enough
to be cozy, it's invigorating. I made it just in time.
Pale color is breaking across the sky. I'm surprised
how quickly it changes, adding colors and depth. Now
it's illuminating those stark white tree limbs making
great contrast from the bluffs behind them. Starting
my day with joy.

I WON JANO 2012

I DID IT ! I DID IT ! I DID IT!
50,000 WORDS IN 30 DAYS.
JANO 2012 I WON !

In October 2009, I heard about
NANOWRIMO. November each year
is National Novel Writers Month,
people from all over the world,
write 50,000 words in 30 days.
At the Sleuth's Ink meeting I asked
about it and several others were
going to do it. One of the members,
Beth Carter said, " A man had to pick
November. No woman has time to do
something that intense with all the
other things to do getting ready for
Thanksgiving and Christmas. How about
us having a write-in this January. We
can call it JANO." We voted to do it
and JANO 2010 was created. I did not
get the 50,000 words in NANOWRIMO 2009,
JANO 2010, NANOWRIMO 2010, JANO 2011,
NANOWRIMO 2011. I finally won JANO 2012,
I did it.I WON. I was asked, "what did
you win?" What was the prize for the win?"
It is self confidence. The knowledge
that I can write fifty thousand words in
thirty days. It is a personal achievement
for me. I like my story.
Now it needs to be edited and submitted.

Stress Builds As December Arrives

Joy of the Season is here.
Christmas is on the way.
First snow today, Tuesday 6 December 2011.
On Friday 2 December 2011, I went to the Red Hats For Jesus, High Tea at the Garden Tea Room in Rogersville. It is located in HOMETOWN FURNITURE STORE. Wonderful time with these lovely ladies. Twenty-four in attendance. Delicious catered food, the room was set up beautifully for us. Singing, conversations and prayers. Good food, good friends what more could we ask?
Saturday 3 Dec., was Ozarks Romance Author's Meeting and Christmas Party. Great fun.
Allison gave us a glimpse at her "steam punk" novel, in critique hour.
Monday, 5 Dec., Elsie Myers and I got together to write on a story together. Her home is decorated so warm and cozy for Christmas.
We are hoping to grow our Writers group. Please join us for our next meeting.
Wednesday 7 December 2011 (PEARL HARBOR DAY), Mabel Masters will speak for THE QUILL AND INK CLUB. We meet at the Webster County Library at 3 PM. Please Join Us.
Mabel has compiled the Northview Book and it's proceeds are going to the Historical Society Museum that is located in the Historical Carnagie Library Building at the Corner of Jackson and Clay Streets in Marshfield. The Carnagie Building celebrated its 100 Anniversary this year 2011. It is empowering to know that our Webster County Library system is still going strong 100 years later. We have had really good leadership. Terry York, has added many programs to our newly re-decorated large library. Knitting and sewing, computer classes and iris card making,a music program for young people, and many other interesting ways to give people the incentive to use the library on a regular basis.
