HUMOROUS NOVEL ABOUT WIDOWHOOD

I AM ABOUT HALFWAY FINISHED WITH MY LATEST NOVEL, A GOOD CATCH. I'M REALLY HAVING A GOOD TIME WRITING THIS ONE, MAKING FUN OF ROMANCE THE SECOND OR EVEN THIRD TIME AROUND. THE BOOK IS REALLY ABOUT SENIORS FALLING IN LOVE AND TRYING TO REBUILD A LIFE AFTER LOSING THE LOVES OF THEIR LIVES. IF ANY OF YOU OUT THERE HAVE FUN STORIES TO SHARE THAT WOULD BE APPROPRIATE FOR THIS BOOK, PLEASE POST. THANKS.

No News Is Good News

Family and friends in South Louisiana are still awaiting the floods from the opening of the Morganza Spillway. Several families have left, but more will stay on until they are told to evacuate. Not sure how to help, but waiting and praying that it all fizzles out. Still missing my husband and dreaming about him and feel his support as usual when I need him. Even after almost seven years. Have lowered the Kindle price for Jude's Bench so hopefully it can be made available to more widows and widowers.

Potential Flooding in South Louisiana

MY HUSBAND, MIKE, DIED ALMOST 7 YEARS AGO, BUT TODAY I MISS HIM MORE THAN EVER. HE WOULD KNOW WHAT TO DO ABOUT THE MISSISSIPPI FLOODING OUR HOMETOWNS IN SOUTH LOUISIANA. NOT JUST BECAUSE HIS FATHER WAS IN THE CORPS OF ENGINEERS, BUT BECAUSE HE WAS CALM IN TIMES OF CRISIS. AND VERY VERY SMART. I GOT THROUGH KATRINA WITHOUT HIM AND ALTHOUGH I NO LONGER LIVE IN SOUTH LOUISIANA, OUR FAMILIES STILL LIVE THERE AND I FEEL AS IF I AM GOING THROUGH THIS WITH THEM AND WITHOUT HIM. I HATE BEING A WIDOW. I MISS MY HUSBAND.

Bus Tour to Key West

JUST RETURNED FROM A TOUR TO KEY WEST. SEVERAL OF THE WOMEN ON THE TOUR WERE WIDOWS, BUT MOST OF THE WOMEN COULDN'T GET THEIR HUSBANDS TO TRAVEL BY BUS. SAW AND DID SOME INTERESTING THINGS. ESPECIALLY LOVED AN ART DECO TOUR IN MIAMI AND A TRAIN TOUR IN KEY WEST. THIS IS A GREAT THING TO DO IF YOU ARE A WIDOW OR WIDOWER. I GOT TO CHAT WITH ONE WOMAN WHO LOST HER HUSBAND 10 YEARS AGO WITH MANY SIMILARITIES TO MY OWN LOSS. THERE WERE ALSO SOME DIVORCED PEOPLE ON THE TOUR. JOINING A GROUP FOR OVER A WEEK IS A GREAT WAY TO MEET PEOPLE AND EXPERIENCE NEW THINGS.
