Hello again

Hi again everyone out there. As usual, I haven't written in a while. Life just seems to pass me by at times. I am working on some revisions for the new book, I decided I needed to change a few things, so I am working on that and hope to be sending it to a publisher soon. I am still playing my game. I started a new charecter on there. She is a priest healer, I just got kinda bored with the other one for now.
The kids are doing great. We have been telling S that if she read Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality series she would love it, but she always argued with us. The other day she finally sat down and read the first book called On A Pale Horse and of course she loved it. Why can't kids just listen to us? Life would be so much easier then. Now she is going to read the next one. If you have not read these books, grab one, it is really a great series done by an author I admire.
M is progressing with her learning. She is working on reading still, but she is getting much better at sounding out words. She is also working on writing her numbers. She can be so sweet at times, like when she wants to cuddle with me on the couch to watch tv. But she can also be downright bossy at other times. She will tell you she is the boss and the rest of us are peons that have to obey her.
B is reading another Piers Anthony series called Zanth. If you like puns, you will love this series. It is a good read for many ages. He likes it because it can be goofy in spots. I told him that if he didn't start reading more I was going to make him read War and Peace cover to cover before school begins. He didn't like that idea too much.
Thanks to everyone for all your comments on here and on the book website. I now have over 500 votes on the book and staying at a high average.
Iam going to go for now, it is starting to get late, and I guess I do need to get some sleep or I will look like I am packing the bags under my eyes for a month long trip. Stay safe all.

Birthdays, hot weather, playing games

Hello again. How is life? Mine is going good. Yesterday was my birthday. I refuse to say the actual age, because I am getting old. When I got up yesterday, in my kitchen was a sign that said Happy Birthday, Candia. from your loving father. The problem was it was attached to a walker. I thanked him by threatening to beat him with it. Then I told the kids I did not need the walker, I could walk by myself and my ankle gave on me. I went down like a stone. My daughter said my ankle looked like it was made of rubber. Fortunatly, it was just a sprain, so now it all wrapped up. Hurts, but I will live.
I went on the game yesterday, and I must say I am in the greatest guild ever. My hubby put up an announcement on the guild message that it was my b-day, so we had a lockbox opening party at the bank, and one of the guys sent me a cobra companion and flowers. My husband gave me three new companions and soap on a rope in the game. It was a fun day.
I am still typing away on the book. I have a bit of writer's block though. I will get through it, it is just annoying. I want to get this one done, then I can get the other two in the series done and get them published.
My first book is on Publicbookshelf still. I am so thrilled, it is still the weeks number one book. That makes me so happy... thanks to everyone who has read it.
Now, I want to here from you guys. Tell me your thoughts, opinions, views, just anything. Tell me about your lives, I would love to hear from you. You read me babble on here, now you can babble back. If you have a question about something, let me know and I will try to find it for you.
Well, I am going to go for now, I will try to write some more on my book, and I have to play. So, enjoy your day.
