Congrats to him and Kate. How's Denise doing with the empty nest? <br /><br />Can I read your novel? I'd love to. What an accomplishment to have finished one. Go you!<br /><br />Remember how we'd get together and share our writing? Those were good times. I learned a lot from you.JKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933572168810746132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349898604249733958.post-19941313393755406102013-01-30T16:29:23.578-06:002013-01-30T16:29:23.578-06:00Yep, sweet potatoes aren't bad. Go easy on us ...Yep, sweet potatoes aren't bad. Go easy on us men. I was a rigid health nut at different times in my life, and sometimes I let that get in the way of relationship -- not that you have to eat everything someone prepares for you. That said, your writing is stimulating, as always.<br /><br />Denise and I have thought about you and yours regularly, especially since Todd and Kate were married Oct. 13, 2012. Getting ready for the wedding -- collecting pictures, especially -- brought back memories. You came to our place at least once to eat. (Can't remember if netiquette requires I refrain from mentioning other names, so I won't.) Can we count the Black Pig Party? That would be twice -- still have those pictures in my head and somewhere in a box.<br /><br />Todd and Kate will graduate from ETSU in May, God willing. (BTW, I now have a red-headed daughter -- one thing I always wanted. :)<br /><br />Ian is a junior at TTU, which gives us an excuse to visit Cookeville regularly. Works out well for a long weekend trip to Johnson City and back. He likes it there and is growing up more like his father than his mother, which means he is meandering along. I will say he'll probably have an undergraduate degree in about half the time it took me.<br /><br />I finished a novel. It's not the worst I've ever read, not the best, but it's finished. What a joy to be able to say that! I was working on number 2, but not for several weeks now -- got to get back in the saddle and persevere like my good friend JK. :)RKBrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713911060372965093noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1349898604249733958.post-49700166798765920542013-01-30T12:21:27.319-06:002013-01-30T12:21:27.319-06:00You could do worse than a sweet potato :)You could do worse than a sweet potato :)Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16406385448417300618noreply@blogger.com
