Yes, Cathy you’re right, it’s me. I can’t envision my baby being 30 yet!

Cindy, he’s a cutie, and so are you. Anyway, I’m guessing the other baby is you. My baby’s 30, BTW, and equally adorable.

Thanks, Mary and Jeanmarie. I can not tell a lie, the girl is Moi. Fat cheeks and all.

Now I’m off to buy birthday supper, rent a birthday movie for Eldest Son, and eat Birthday Cake.

Gail, I’m so glad the fogwalking interview/article helped. (Like Cindy, I also love the laundry-line-sheets analogy.) So often those of us who don’t really plot struggle at first to fit plotting formats into our process. I remember taking workshops years ago, then walking away thinking I’ll never be a writer because I can’t plot the way they say. It wasn’t until I’d written a couple of books that I finally realized everyone has their OWN process. And each one is right!

Cindy, congrats on your son’s b’day!! It’s a milestone, indeed.

LOL, Pat. I think my husband has reached that point. He’s always aging our kids. “Oh, the youngest one is 18.” Excuse me? His birthday is the end of August. Don’t age him, please! My mother’s heart can’t take it.

But you know you’ve arrived to a new place in motherhood when you HONESTLY can’t for the life of you remember whether your child will be 33 or 34 on their next birthday…

Gail, I’m plenty old enough, believe me!

You’re welcome for the interview. I’ll pass along your thoughts to Mary.

I do love your laundry line analogy, though!
