It's great hearing from you, Fran. Really busy with the writing this summer. Got a new gig with CD where I'm writing personalized stories for folks to be made into handbound books. Got five stories to do so far, from all over the world, so it will definitely be a challenge.Have you been writing? I hope so; I've beem having Fran Friel withdrawals lately. lol!
Take care, my friend, and please keep in touch.
Big hugs from TN,
Ron
Thanks, Ron. I hope life and writing have been good to your this summer.Even if you don't hear from me often, always know that you're frequently in my thoughts.
Much Love to You and Your Family,
Fran
