WHAT I LIKED IN 2010

I sent out a Christmas letter with news of my family and travels, etc. But here I'll share the more personal stuff--tthings I liked.

GAMES: I learned two new ones to play when friends-family get together: a dice game called LEFT CENTER RIGHT and a box game called APPLES TO APPLES. Fun!

CONFERENCES: Aside from usual SCBWI conferences, I also went to a mystery-novel conference called LEFT COAST CRIME. I traveled with my mother and had a blast listening to workshops about murder, forensics. pet sidekicks and cozies.

PLAY TIME: In April my hubby, son and I saw the musical production of WICKED. It was wicked amazing!

CRUISING: While on a cruise in the caribbean, I saw a ship  appropriately called LOBOS which was a floating non-profit library.
Impressive!

TILTING WINDMILLS: I visited Burney, CA where my hubby, a crane operator, was putting up giant windmills. I stood on top of a mountain alongside rows of massive windmills and could see both Mt. Shasta and Mt. Lassen in one loftly glance.

OOOH, FEELS GOOD! I went to a day spa and had the first massage in my entire life!

MOVIE SEQUELS: I saw both Harry Potter 7 1/2 and Eclipse. 

AND MY FAVORITE NEW TOY IN 2010.....my I-Phone! It's like holding a universe of information in my hand. I love my I-Phone.

And on New Year's Day I may have something else new and free to tell you about....stay tuned.
