I’m back from vacation and boy, am I ready to get back to work! Don’t get me wrong, I loved visiting my son and daughter-in-law, seeing New Hampshire and Maine for the first time, and getting to spend time with my grandcats. I saw so many cool new places–both historical and natural–and I fell in love with Pemaquid Peninsula in Maine, where at the lighthouse are some outstanding gneiss formations (for you geology geeks like me). But you know how it is–us writers get a wee bit grumpy when we can’t write for a few days, so I’m eager to get back to real life.
