They say writers should write at the same time each day when they write. Since phase two has begun I am doing just that. The first thing I do each morning is after getting up and having my coffee, I write a blog post to be uploaded.
I am so blessed to have such good friends as Margie and Tom, that are helping me get to phase three. They are giving me the opportunity to save, as much money as I can, for the adventure to the Big Island. In fact, Margie treated me to a movie and dinner. I had a great day with my friend Margie. We both went to a movie, did some shopping and went and had dinner at a Chinese Restaurant. My fortune cookie said the following as there were two fortunes in the one cookie that I got.
"A movie would be a good way to relax this weekend." and "A great honor will be bestowed upon you with this coming year" Kool! :)
Another interesting thing is Margie gave me a copy of newspaper called "Prairie Connection" with the statement "The Truthful & Authentic Voice of the Prairies" since 1994. It has some great stories in it, and it has given me some ideas how to do a newspaper in Hawaii. I may even be able to submit some of my stories to the newspaper too. They are looking for citizen journalist and you can submit a request & sample to: iread@praireconnect.com. It is a grassroots, nonprofit newspaper that just maybe I can submit some of my stories there.
Margie took me to the Amtrak station and I now have my ticket for Portland on the Amtrak for June 3rd. So I am now set for the trip to leave Tulelake and head to Portland and leave on the jet plane on June 4th for the Big Island. I am so blessed to have such good friends who are helping me so much. I don't know if I will ever be able to repay them for their kindness.
God Bless
