Skip, thank you so much for letting us all know about Jan’s post. Jan, your story was fantastic. I’d like to read more of your family experiences with your mum if you decide to write more

Oh this was wonderful! Jan is a wonderful writer. She had me at the edge of the seat and I could hardly wait to read more. Of course I was laughing so hard with tears running down my face as I read. I could actually picture in my mind the whole scene, with sounds and all! Please ask her to write again because I would love to hear more about this and find out if this whole venture ends up successful.

Skip had introduced you as his first guest blogger and I finally had some time to read your ant-catching story, Jan. You’re a natural!

I laughed so hard that the dog (Oliver, by the way) looked at me from his favorite perch on the back of the chair, cocked his head and waited to see if he needed to do something in response (like run over and get his ball, I suppose)!

Thanks for the joy!

Skip, your beloved Jan needs a blog of her own. She’s quite a talented writer! Her sense of timing — particularly with dialogue — makes her a natural.

I loved this little snapshot into the family dynamics that some of us have only seen a glimpse of before. The ants were an amusing topic, but the family dynamics stole the show.

Thanks for the best read I have had in a week!
