Received LAYOUT

A Layout of my book was received today, through my email address.

It looks great!

I’m not happy with the size of the chapters but I told myself, It’s my first book, learn from the mistake.

Details: 240 pages, awesome pictures of the book cover as headers for each new chapter, nice font to make thoughts standout and so much more.

 I need to send a picture to the company to place above my dedication. It’s just one more step to being ready, and I can’t wait.

P.S. My baby granddaughter came a week or two early and she is BEAUTIFUL!

Picture for the back of book

A Mr. Ernst-Ulrich Schafer from Port Angeles, WA took quite a few pictures of me a week ago. I'm going to purchase two more for future book signings. I'm a person that really HATES letting people take pictures of me; not very photogenic. But I'm going to work on that, when I was little (seven or eight years old) I would hide behind my sister when we had to pose for pictures. So this started at a very young age...

                                       THANK YOU MR. ERNST-ULRICH SCHAFER
AND THANK YOU TO ONE OF MY MANY COUSINS; FOR ALLOWING ME TO TAKE THIS PICTURE IN YOUR YARD. TAKEN OUT AT TSOO-YESS BEACH ROAD - BEAUTIFUL AREA!

People watching

While walking the beach with my granddaughter; I watched a grown man park his car, walk down to the beach, take off sandals, and continue on to the water. This man was in his late thirties but at the moment he looked like my granddaughter. He waded in the ocean and turned in circles taking pictures with his CELL PHONE. Studying this man I knew that he renewed his inward peace at that exact moment.

A woman was with her family; a group of five or six. Everyone was very sober faced and looked uptight. A comment was made to this woman, nothing out of the ordinary. She flow off the handle and stomped out of the building cursing; I didn’t know that women my age would have such foul language. It’s always upsetting when you have to deal with people such as this. But truly 98% of the people I meet are very polite.

How do you want to be seen?

Just thinking

Thank you

Throughout the past few weeks many people have inquired about "Joseph and the Tamanawis Spirit."
Truly I appreciate the questions; it tells me that people are interested in reading the book.

We are very busy at Big Salmon Fishing Resort due to the U.S. halibut opener. But like a magnet as soon as I walk through the door at home; I check my Email. I find myself disappointed that I haven’t received the electronically formatted book, yet.

My second granddaughter has us all very excited; she should be introducing herself to the family soon. Doctor said, “Any day, now!” So as you may see, I have so much to be happy about. Just yesterday Destiny (my first granddaughter) and I went to the beach and she loved the water pools; discovering “Mussels.” Neah Bay has so much beautiful things that I’m taken aback by; every time I walk the beach.

Still Checking Email

Hello and Good Morning!
I'm still checking my Email everyday. Still no book.
I have an appointment to take pictures this week for the back of my book.
At Big Salmon Fishing Resort I posted a picture of the cover. Maybe it will reach people that don't use the internet.
We have been very busy at work; so I haven't posted so much lately.
Hope you all are enjoying the nice weather :)
