Winter was brutal--strange... :D only made me stronger though.

I had two coyotes dancing in my back yard one eve. Called hubby to the window, said. " We have only two dogs...I'm counting four." Hmm! My pound puppies were on the top step just looking on as two coyotes fought over a female. They'd scaled my six foot fence. ;) Breeding season.

Went on Spring Break to Fl, with my family. Teen lost a classmate on the beach there. Some Mama came home with her most precious gift in a body bag. Poor baby, she died of alcohol poisoning. The mom was a "yes" mom, you know, the "cool mom," easier to say yes than no...Still coming to terms with this. Very sad as this child was quite gifted.

Been writing every spare second. You know how sometimes you get a feeling--It's like my photography...Once in a great while I'll see the perfect shot the minute before. I have to will calm to stop the shake because I know this is going to be one of those rare, drop-dead bomb photos. All in the snap.

I finally feel I'm getting that way with my book. A strong hope. I gave an news media interview this week re; the nature of my book.

Soo, tell me, how are you? Tell me everything. Soo missed you guys. Shouting out to all-
hugs
kimmi

kimmi---HI!!!!

Missed you too! You gave a news interview this week? Are you still shaking from it or calm like me (he-he!).

So sad about that teenager. I have a friend who was always like that with her son. A "yes" mom and very cool. At least she thought so. He's been into drugs now for years. And now he moved out of state, far away from home.

Anyway, welcome back!! And so glad you've got that writing going strong.

Hi Kimmi,

Glad to hear you’re using your free time to write and congratulations on the interview.

I'm sorry to hear about the teen. My niece is attending a funeral today. A guy she knows from high school committed suicide last Friday, a week short of graduation with a full basketball scholarship. As a teen, it is very hard coping with a loss let alone a suicide that leaves so many unanswered questions. That reminds me, I gotta call her to see how she is doing.

I haven’t been doing much writing or posting on AW, but things are good. Take care.

Probably your best bet in getting caught up would be to read every thread consecutively, starting with "Say the First Word that Comes to Mind." Oh, and the folks in "Rep Point Begging" have been waiting patiently for your return also--one for each posting is the cutomary gift...

(Seriously though, welcome back Kimmi!)

So glad to see you Kimmi. Sorry about the kid. It's every mother's nightmare. I know I'm tough on my kids, but I keep telling myself that it will be okay.

Now I want to go home and embarass them with big smoochy kisses.

Well! Lookee who the cat dragged in! Hi, kimmi!

Sorry to hear about the teen... it's a shame they can't be protected 24/7 'til they develop sense enough to know they're NOT ten feet tall and bullet proof.

Hey Kimmi! :Hug2:

I think this is the first time we've been on AW together since January. Let the button goof-ups commence!
Uh Oh, Ali Ali, Ali!
Katie barr the door, Mac's in trouble. Lets try not to bring down Mac's board. ;)
