Grandma is turning 87!

Today is my grandma's 87th birthday! Wow. To make it to 87 is amazing, and she is still kicking. Her lady friends are taking her to lunch, so we won't be doing our usual Wednesday lunch. Happy Birthday Grandma.

We are also having a Super Bowl party on Sunday even though the Cowboys are not playing. We got ourselves a new TV and entertainment center for Christmas and am ready to watch football in HD. I have only had one family RSVP for our get-together, but it should be fun.

We are on a countdown to NYC - 45 days. I am still sooooooo excited. But in the meantime, I am still working on my novel. I have not finished it but have been doing reviewing and editing over the last several days. So far I have 228 pages in Word and will probably end up with 300-315. Once I get that done, I will work on queries and print and bind them for several family members I trust to read it and give me their opinions. I also have an idea for my second and third follow-up novels from characters in my first. I want to correspond all my novels but not in a direct linear way. Lo, I have to get thru my first before I can begin my second, right?
