Susie writes: I finished writing a book this weekend. It’s one I’ve been working on since June, in between my trips to FLA, CA, PA (lots of A’s there). In between writing and travelling, I haven’t had much time to work on my various unfinished remodeling projects. Ie, create a bookshelf in the media room. And paint the family room end wall red. Yes, red. I saw it in a magazine, and then at a girlfriend’s house, and I thought it would be a striking way to backdrop this incredible piece of artwork I received from a friend.

It’s been two weeks of conferences and family travel (we went to Taylor University to check it out for my oldest son) and as my husband logs hours behind the wheel, I am furiously editing a book. (while singing Disney songs, which I’ve discovered are greatly motivating). Occasionally, I Iook up from my computer. Check out the road, hunt for anything new.
