It's bee...Hey, welcome to my replacement spot. It's been well worth it for me to retire, because did you note that Marsha called me "beloved Anna?" Actually I retired because Wednesdays became too full with a temple shift all morning and a writing class in the evening. So have I written any on my own blogs? Well, I'm still planing to.<br /><br />Today I'm reading the ANWA blogs, and loving it. Even responding as I go. And I know about the internet and emails and telephones and family getting in the way. I've dabbled in Facebook just enough to know i don't really have time for it yet. But you'll figure a way around all that, and enjoy being on the blog team.<br /><br />You've got one great thing going for you. Being good at so many skills should help writing about them. In my almost 85 (give me 27 more days) years of life, I've pursued several careers myself. I was totally wooden on stage in my high-school years, but a natural in my sixties. I don't paint or sculpt, but I knit, crochet, latch, tat, embroider, needlepoint and have perhaps a hundred kits saved up to do some time or other. My closet and under the bed is full of yarn, and I'm still aiming to have enough knit and crocheted cotton dishcloths to give one to everybody who attends my funeral. (Only trouble is I don't know how many that will be, but so far I'm up around 575.<br />I wrote a novel and have a couple of rejection slips to prove it. So I joined ANWA and decided to write my memoirs instead. I've got somewhere between 150 to 200,000 words drafted and am rather splotchily up to 1964. I hope to get it all on paper by my birthday. I have no idea how in the world I'll ever get it shaped into something with any kind of order, but then, I haven't tried hard, either.<br />conshmi<br />Only problem is it sounds like work, and I've developed somewhat of an allergy to that.<br /><br />So now you see why I'm so happy to have you aboard.Anna Arnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09882034663742937010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3723124266752750306.post-19054503694605845302009-07-30T19:39:13.517-07:002009-07-30T19:39:13.517-07:00It is fun to have you a as a blogger.

I am 2 days shy of a six-month self-imposed prohibition of chocolate only to discover to my joy that chocolate is NOT the problem. So on at 12:01 am on Saturday back to the brownies, cakes, pies and M&Ms I've missed.Terri Wagnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06905158157291602809noreply@blogger.com
