Nothing much, really
May 19, 2010
Do you remember when I said that I thought the book was pretty much finished?
Ha ha. Hahahahahaha. Ha. Sigh.
Well! Enough about the three year long bout of self-torture otherwise known as writing a novel! (I'm entering another revision, and that's all I'll say about that.)

Winter is following us. This week has been cold and rainy, and we are cozy in the house with a fire going. Sometimes I have to give my head a shake. It's late May! Anyways. Whatever. Let's look at a photo of last week.
That feels better.
Solo has decided that he loves the hammock. Our friends have a hammock bolted into their house, beside a large window that overlooks the valley. Mostly, though not today, you can see trees and grassy dales and fluffy clouds over the hills. It's beautiful. Solo has no appreciation for the view, though. He prefers to sit in the hammock like a little hedgehog. Yesterday I forgot he was in there, until about half an hour later he made his presence known. He likes to lie back and suck his thumb, rubbing his ear.
Lately, if he feels self conscious at all, he gently places one finger inside his right nostril and just sort of rests it there. I'm trying to discourage this. However, I'm encouraging hammock time. It's like tribal playpen time. Helpful while Kid A and YaYa and I are working on school.
Have you seen my camera? I seem to have misplaced it. And I would like to have it back.
Ha ha. Hahahahahaha. Ha. Sigh.

I was given a hammock for Mother's day and I have it tucked away under a mammoth cottonwood tree on the back edge of our property. It is my absolute favorite place to be.
Please find your camera soon, I would love to seem more pictures like the one above!
We have an 8yo daughter who, when she was a baby, put her finger in her bellybutton whenever she needs comfort. Actually, once in a great while she still does it.

Oh no, go look for your camera!
The picture of Solo in the hammock suckign his thumb and rubbing his ear is just too precious. Need that camera.
My oldest was JUST LIKE him--ear, thumb, finger.
We have a hammock and I'm glad to announce I've used it TWICE since hanging it for the season.
Keep the faith about your novel--it's so good! And almost done!

Girl, you can do more with a few "ha ha ha's" than anyone I know. Well, wish I knew anyway. Haven't ever met you but can hear the ring in your voice as you laugh- in writing, that is... That's what I call talent! And you end your laughter with a sigh. Are you sure you're not from the American South? That's how women laugh down here. That novel will come. All in good time. And hopefully with very little additional self-torture involved.
Please find your camera. Something visual to go along with the little gem about babyboy with a finger in his nose would be greatly appreciated. Also your pictures of high breezy mountains are making me miss my home state of Colorado. :)
