Valentine's Day 2013, Projects, BG Events, more


I hope you had a GREAT Valentine's Day, full of laughter and joy. 
My sweetie Rickey took me out to lunch and gave me another great Valentine's card AND candy. The candy treat was wild - - chocolate covered jelly beans. I got a mouthful of chocolate with every gummy bite.

This beautiful watercolor is from HerryLawford on Flickr.












Projects, projects, projects!  
I have not had time to go to any fun BG events lately. I have several projects on my proverbial plate, as I know my readers have had too.

Today I start on TAXES, and then must EDIT my book(s), and keep my blogs and websites up to date.

I am also posting on the BGAMUG Computer Club blog to keep it updated.

Blogging should be done regularly, I know!
So I will still be updating THIS blog. Do you have a blog? List it as a comment so I can go and visit.

The BG Event Site page here lists all kinds of links where you can find out what is going on in town.

This Events Blog listing daily events has become a much loved duty, but it's been taking too much time away from my writing and other projects.

I may still post some outstanding events occasionally.

I suggest picking up the SOKY Happenings at Barnes and Noble bookstore for now, and also checking the links here and on the WCVK Community Happenings website page regularly.

For now, I'll keep all my sites and blogs going, PLUS do all my projects.

I will be back here soon!

Until then, have a WONDERFUL week.
