Hello everyone.

Thanks for all who have asked for an update on where I've been and new projects. I promise that I will post here. right now this Adventure Girl is off to the big city- NY - show off my newest project. New books I have been working on with my father (see links page on website.) I know my website is woefully in need of updating as well, and again I promise I will get to it. I came back from Louisiana to a very busy schedule and it looks like it will stay that way through the holidays, but I will do my best.
On the road again...check back soon.

Back from Louisiana, for all who have been asking, it was a very interesting trip. Made a couple of really good friends, the people were warm and welcoming Adventure Girls Book one was a big hit. I don't have my photos yet so I will post more later.
But an observation- we are all more alike than we are different and when facing adversity we all bear the same burden. How to move forward, how to first survive and then thrive, without it (the thing...) becoming who you are.

Be well everyone - yes I am still percolating with new growth and I will be back with more details.

Well, I've been off this blog for quite awhile. Let's update....last time I wrote I was on my way to an eco island off the coast of South Carolina for a little R&R. What a delight. Quiet, warm and peaceful what more could you ask? An amazing house high in the trees, most luxurious tree house ever! I was able to walk miles and miles of beach every day, never seeing another human being. I encountered lots of wildlife. Early morning walks around the island were peppered with lots of alligator slithering tracks...I chose not to pursue them at night when they roam. There are no cars on the island only whispery little golf carts which enable you to sneak up on them IF you wanted to.
There were a lot of snakes- zillions of birds, wild calls that began at dawn and continued until sunset. Racoons here are very different from those at home. Much thinner and their fur is a deep reddish color,this guy is having oysters for breakfast!
I tussled with the crabs and hoped for a crab dinner but they were far more clever than I and made off with several chicken necks before I gave up. It was lovely to sit silently on a small dock in the marshes and match wits with them though. Sandollars and oysters were plentiful. A great adventure! It would have been wonderful to stay for a month,( I became so attached to the screen porch that I will never live in another house without one...) but my schedule did not allow, so after a very short week I came back to New England and entered a very different phase of my life. I'll tell the story of this new phase in my next post. I am getting ready to hit the road again, off to Louisiana to bring some books to schools and libraries down there areas still devastated by the hurricanes 2 years ago...so I promise to be more active on the blog. Happy adventures to all!
ahhhhh, a book, a porch, and the trees.
