My niece, Jordan, is both beautiful and talented. She's featured on the cover of the March 2007 issue of THE PAINT HORSE JOURNAL. Not only is she an award-winning high school wrestler, but she's even more known for her equestrian skills -- dressage and jumping. She's a tiny and petite thing, barely over 100 lbs.

Here's a photo of the two of us together summer before last:

I had so much fun at the recent Space Coast Writers Guild conference. Pictured are SCWG officer, Bill Allen, author Alfie Thompson and Savannah Latamy during the Book Fair. Mark your calendars now for next year!

I keep collecting photos and ideas to post to my blog and then life gets in the way. So I'm posting this now :) Pictured above is a photo from the Winter Luncheon sponsored by the Friends of the Clearwater Library. This is a photo of the participating authors (l-r): Tim Dorsey, Fawn Gurmer, Jeff Klinkenberg, Kimberly Llewellyn, Hank & Ursula Bracker, Patrick Foley and KC.

Here's my update:

Still planting lady peas (for the poster, from the seeds I collected the year before -- I don't know where to buy them. Lady peas aren't the same as the other kind of peas you mentioned, sorry.)

Still a clean air breather (which means I quit smoking almost 2 years ago! Yay me!)

Still the Mommy of two sons (Andrew's a jr in college and Ian is a sophomore in high school)

Still married to my Scottish honey

Still living an incredibly glamorous and exciting lifestyle

Still writing :D

In the interim, when I quit smoking I gained weight. When I gained weight, my diabetes started acting up. I ended up on huge doses of insulin, but I'm being weaned off of it and as that progresses, I feel a LOT better! Hopefully I'll soon be back to my normal weight (it'll take awhile, but with less insulin, it will go faster than it has been!).

I've been really bad about not updating my blog and I promise to be better in the future! The good news, however, is that I've been madly scribbling new stories and I hope to have some good news before too long :)

Diana's Diversions

My nephew, Perry's graduation was lots of fun. I particularly liked the theme of the Salutatorian's address to the grads: don't wait for your future to happen to you -- go out and make your future.



The above photo is of Perry, Terri (his mom), Paul (his dad), and Jordan (his sis).

I'll be uploading more photos later -- maybe next week since I'm flying home tomorrow. And in the words of the Class of '05 -- May the force be with you. More photos -- KC
