Good Day and Hello,

A warm wind blowing this morning.  Thursday is here and tomorrow the weekend starts!!!

I spent yesterday afternoon and part of the evening working on the next Uncle Joe story.  It is a story that has been told but never written.  Ms. Mary suggested some changes and I will work on those today.  Tonight, I will tell the revised story to my granddaughters, Katelyn and Finley, and receive their critiques.

In some ways, writing a story is like making soup.  You start out with your soup and ask some people to taste it.  One suggests more spices, another more vegetables, this one a bit more thickening, over here a sweet touch, and that one slips something into the pot when your back is turned.  You look at the soup and it looks the same.  You taste it and it tastes, well, different, but good, Ok?  You taste it again and smile and realize that this is a better soup.  Then, you invite some friends in and have a party.  I like to think of writing that way.

Oh, Uncle Joe is combining and working on water leaks.  He’s a busy guy, but  he promised to read  “Who is  Uncle Joe.”  So, hopefully you will see that blog post article soon.

Have a wonderful Thursday,

Grandpa Jim
