My pal Gina Cameron and I got together Lestats Hillcrest yesterday afternoon to catch up with each other’s stories and to color in our new coloring books “When Old Dames Get Together and Other Confessions of a Ripe Old Age,” with poems by Judy Dykstra-Brown and illustrations by Isidro Xilonzochitl. What a hoot! We had so much fun. Remember how calming coloring can be? You can do it too. Here’s info for Judy’s book: Amazon

Look for Judy Reeve’s new book coming out. I’ll give a link when it is available. She’s also conducting a writer’s workshop at the wonderful resort across the lake that I published photos of earlier—Quinta San Carlos. If anyone is interested in coming down to a beautiful part of Mexico and participating in her Wild Women Writing Workshop, I can furnish info on that, too. She’s conducted them for us for six years, I think, in La Manzanilla, on the beach near Colima, in Puerto Vallarta, Nueva Vallarta, Acapulco and at Quinta San Carlos. (If I left any out, please remind me.) This year we’ve convinced her she needs to do an additional one for others who want the experience. Let me know if you are interested and I’ll pass the info on to Judy.

Hi Gina!  Hope you are coming down again this year. You need to help us in our Wilding!!!!

Anyone else who has ordered the Old Dames book, please send me a shot of your response.

When I published the news of my adult coloring book When Old Dames Get Together and Other Confessions of a Ripe Old Age now being available on Audible, I asked anyone who ordered it to send me a photo of their reaction to it—either a photo of them being an Old Dame (Or Old Mister) or some other response. Here is the first response by my friend Linda Crosfield in Canada. Thanks, Linda. My cats agree that it makes a good chair!!

You saw it here first! The book inspired by poems I wrote for prompts on my blog is now available on Amazon. It is an adult coloring book with poems by me and illustrations to color by Isidro.  Above and below are the front and back cover.

Here is a sample of the title poem and its illustration. Get out your colored pencils!  I wouldn’t recommend felt tip markers as they bleed through. Don’t try to color it on your computer screen or phone, though. The book is now available on Amazon!!!! You can find it HERE.
