Thanks, Elaine and Kyle. Enjoy the festivities!

Congratulations Andrea! Finishing a novel is a huge accomplishment! I see that you wrote a lot on January 1 and 2. Way to go! A fine start on the new year!

Jeanne brings 2 cherry pies and cuts them into slices.
Cherry pie, anyone? À la mode?

Congratulations, Andrea! What a way to start the new year! I hope it will continue to be just as wonderful to you!

Oh, I haven't had cherry pie in years, Jeanne. I'd love some! :)

With ice cream? One scoop or two?
I bought a big bag of frozen pie cherries and made the pies myself. yummmm (if I do say so!)

*eats cherry pia a la mode*

Yum...delicious. Thank you, Jeanne and Teresa :)

You earned it, Andrea! You can have seconds!
BTW, I have planted 2 pie-cherry trees in my yard. Maybe some day they will produce enough cherries for a whole pie.

*eyes cherry pie* May I have some? With the pie warmed and two scoops of ice cream?

That's awesome about the cherry trees, Jeanne! That would be very neat!

Hi Andrea! How's writing going for you?

Fabulous! This is a great year so far. I have to get to work finishing my other book, then begin editing the one I just finished in a week or two. How about you?

All on my new fantasy novel that I started for NaNo. It needs a title...

Elaine,
Of course you may have some pie and ice cream!
Vanilla ice cream or lemon sorbet? Take as much as you want--there's more in the freezer.

*looks around and sees all of my visitors*

Harry, you'd better whip up some more brownies :)

My muse seems to be taking a day off. I only wrote 62 words in my novel, so I decided to do a couple of writing exercises from my groups.

Words:
Novel = 62
Exercise 1 = 500
Exercise 2 = 249
Total = 811

Not too bad, I suppose...

awesome!
