Five Things on a Friday

counter create hit



1.  I took these photos last night on my way home.  



We haven't had a killing frost yet, but the grass has been sparkly in the mornings.  I love this time of year. 

2.  Milo went to the groomer yesterday.  He looks very dapper with his short hair and new purple collar. 

3.  I'm visiting with Slatts and MJ today.  We decided to visit a Maine landmark that I've driven by many times and never found myself at a good time to visit.  Moody's Diner!  A friend asked me this morning what I was going to order, and I said, "I'm thinking backward from PIE!"   

4. My agent said we've had an offer for TURKISH rights to Rules.  How cool!  That will be my 8th foreign edition for that book--which is a lot for a realistic fiction novel set in the United States. It also gives me some hope. Disability is a shameful thing in some of the cultures that have bought those rights, and it makes me happy to see interest and a desire to explore that idea.

5.   My husband has two photos in magazines this month:  Down East and Maine magazines have each featured one of his photos with their October articles. Here's the one that's in Maine with an article about about Boothbay Harbor.
