Graydon Scott

Lexi and Jalen have lost their Grandpa Scott.  

Graydon left his Ottawa home early Thursday to drive to Midhurst to visit with James and family. He was anxious to attend Jalen's ball hockey games on Saturday and also next Tuesday evening.

Sadly something went terribly wrong. He didn't arrive and a missing person's bulletin was issued. Almost 48 painful hours later the family learned Graydon had been in a single car accident and had passed away.

We are all very sad. Funeral will be in Ottawa later this week. No details available as yet.

Lexi

A few years ago Jalen was proud to have a Jeep "Just Like Daddy!"

Yesterday he taught his little sister how to drive his Jeep and while I am not certain he has given it to her he certainly allowed her to enjoy driving it while he played hockey in the driveway with his buddies.

PS It was a perfect Easter Sunday!

Always the hockey player

Even on a warm Easter Sunday Jalen's focus was on hockey.  He will play in the net to give his buddies a chance to shoot the puck if that's what it takes. He openly admits he's not the best goalie but that's okay - he's happy to rotate.

My grandson is a well rounded athlete but his heart belongs to hockey on any given day.

Reflections

I am working on my sequel to Paradise today so am reflecting back to the 1980s and looking forward from that time frame. 

It was a good time wasn't it?

Happy April to you.

Another year...

I didn't do a lot of celebrating yesterday.  A bit of a flu bug meant postponing my birthday party until a later date. At three years of age, Lexi is all about the party so we will party soon enough.  Thanks so much to my friends here for your good wishes. You made my day.

A bit of Lunch

Great visit with family this weekend.  Lexi hamming it up over lunch at daycare in this photo. She looks older than three here don't you think?  Poor little girl was sick with a cold so here's hoping I didn't bring it  back to Toronto with me.

Looking forward to this week.....

Breaking News...

Okay it might not really be breaking news but ....it is for me!

Yesterday I heard from a publisher. It's true!

I had e mailed a query letter conforming to the guidelines outlined on their website.  Within hours I heard back, directly from the publisher asking that I forward my full manuscript.  I did that and received one more note reminding me how stiff the competition is for the few spots they have available for a novel this year.  And, that either way I will likely hear by summer's end.

I do understand the competition however this small exchange made my day.  Sometimes reaching out to someone means the world of difference in their world. It might not change the outcome but for an instant you have given them hope.

Love
