Hello everyone.  Here we are again, as we approach warmer weather, longer days and family outings.  I hope you have some fun activities planned for this summer.  And speaking of the family...how is that budding author coming along?  I kept my eyes open for new books to help you and this one will be used over and over again for years to come.

From my own experience, the more I learned about the field of writing the more I liked what writing was all about.  Your kids had some great ideas that were worthy to be shared.  Their efforts should not go unheard.  And you as parents, or grandparents know them better than anybody.

For those of you who took part in this writing experience, I hope you had fun, but most of all, I hope you enjoyed the company of one another.
Until next time, keep those pencils moving!

Your friend,
Sherry
