In fact, I have a photo of one of my grandmothers in her "house dress and apron"--an outfit she wore everyday! <br />I have already started to think about my Christmas cards because I know I'm going to be too busy with another book in the works to wait until November.

My cat Bailey was named for George Bailey and I have a sign above my kitchen door, that Kelly gave me, which says, "It's a Wonderful Life."<br />Even at the worse times in my life, I always think about George saying, "I wish I had never been born..." and what happens because he wasn't. I have to believe there is a reason for everything, even if it's bad; it's how we handle it that determines our strength.
