I have been trying to get back to reality for two days now. I think Friday Fragments will do the trick. I’ve been traveling and I took a lot of notes. If you have some stuff you would like to get off your mind please feel free to join us. You can find all of the information you need here:

Right before we left for Florida I found out my book was one of the top one-hundred items at Walmart. It was number four to be exact. That news inspired me to get a lot of editing done while I was away.
My Bonus son, Michael went with us this trip. He got the bright idea that we should drive straight through from Philadelphia to Daytona Beach. It was such a great idea that he slept the entire time we were in Florida, trying to catch up.
We stayed at the Shores Resort and Spa in Daytona Beach Shores. I loved everything about our stay there. The view of the ocean, the sunsets, sunrises, the room, the food, the pool, the spa and the most friendly and kind staff. Josh, Beck, Amy and Tyler kept us fed, hydrated and parked at the front door! I highly recommend this hotel if you are looking for some rest and relaxation.
I had a wonderful visit with my parents. My Dad’s pet scan was clear. I have no words to express how grateful I am for that news!
The weather was perfect for biketoberfest. I rode with John around the famous Loop that took us up along the ocean in Flagler Beach and along the Halifax River and through Tomoka State Park.
My sister-in-law and niece, Natalie spent a day at the pool with me. I still cannot believe it was warm enough in October to swim.
On the way home, we stopped in Durham, North Carolina to visit with my dear friend Joelle who has been battling an aggressive form of cancer and my dear friend Tina who is there to take care of Joelle and her children while Joelle’s husband is in Afghanistan.
Joelle, was also scheduled for a pet scan to see if the aggressive chemo treatments they are treating her with are working. All I can say is thank you SO much to everyone who has said a prayer or sent healing thoughts her way because some of her tumors are gone and the big one is shrinking. Please keep the prayers going!!
It was so nice to see her in good spirits!
I wrote my first ever ghost story for this blog and it is an absolutely, true story, every word. I would love to know if you think I have a future in horror writing…The story is called the Dolls..

vacation!
