Dear Reader,
Kelly's inspired, how about you?
From my Email Bag:
"Happy Wednesday Suzanne, you know, I have been following your 'Dear Reader' for over a year now and love it. I can't wait to see what you have been up to or your latest adventure. I truly enjoy seeing your email waiting for me every morning. I have to say, I am not sure what is stirring inside of me, but I feel that I need to participate in your writing contest this year. It is not my thing. Sure, I have always thought about writing, but have had no idea what to write. So on my way to my chiropractor appointment I thought about the questions you listed, and you know, I think I have something to say. How cool!
My son and I have been participating in the Dream Big Read! reading program this summer. He will be four next month, and both he and my daughter love reading as much as I do, so books are everywhere here. I love it! Well, just last week he was looking at one of the construction books that I brought home for him to read and he starting talking about it with me and my mom, and what came out of it was a title of a book. A book that my mom said that we should write together. So for two weeks in a row writing has come up. Hmmm, sounds like I need to get busy. Thanks for listening,"--Kelly

Bailey, my granddaughter is finishing up a 4-week pre-college experience at Ringling School of Art and Design and she shared this with me, "If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." --Vincent VanGogh
I'm waiting to read your entry. Have fun, remember, it's all about the fun.
* Congratulations to the winners of last week's Sock Giveaway. I will be shopping for socks for these lucky winners: Faye Rasmussen, Sarah Shearer and Betty Hagy.
