I got tagged

JoAnn Arnold

Did I get tagged? Thank you Carlene. Does that mean I have to tell seven little-know facts about myself? Okay. Let's see:

l. I've shrunk 1 and 1/2 inches in the past year. I was only 5'1/2" to begin with.
I know, it's scary.
2. I like Golden Spoon's Orange 50/50, Just Chocolate, and Irish Mint frozen
yogart.
3. I was a tomboy, and only found how much fun it was to be a girl when I started dating and the boy had to pay for the date.
4. I love horses and dogs - I'm alergic to both of them.
5. I tried to touch my nose with my tongue and it wouldn't reach, but it will roll.
6. When I was 5 years old, living in Climax, Colorado, the snow was so deep that on my way to kindergarden, I fell into a snow drift that was deeper than I was tall and had to be rescued.
7. I'm still waiting for my brother to come and help me set up my website.

Author Apppreciation Dinner

Cedar Fort Publishers had their Author Appreciation Dinner, last night in Springville. It is so nice to be appreciated with such flair. The food was delicious and the company was one to keep - not to mention the gift of four exciting books. (I've already started reading "Lights of Mahonri Moriancumer" by Phyllis Gunderson.)

I sat among some of the best LDS authors and listened to Lyle Mortimer speak of the vision of Cedar fort. It's a vision that anyone would be thrilled to be a part of. I got to meet, in real life, our wannabe, Doug Johnston. He's rather a nice fellow, I might add, and is, indeed, an important participant in that vision I just mentioned.

Didn't get home until after midnight because it takes almost 4 hours to get to Springville from St. George, and the road's no shorter coming home. But the trip was well worth the hours spent.

JoAnn's Blog

JoAnn Arnold

Just learning all about blogging. It's like starting first grade all over again. First comes "A" then "B", "C", etc. etc. (I think you get the picture). But If I can post this on my blog sight without any complications, such as having clicked the wrong button or something worse, I will have moved on to the next level - my own website. I bribed my brother to help me set up a webpage, and as he explained the whole process to me, it was like trying to understand algebra without knowing how to add and subtract. But there is hope for the future, (Hopefully). He only lives 5 minutes away. I think writing a book is easier, nonetheless. Which reminds me, I'm hoping that if or when you read my blog, you will run out and buy (or you could go to the library), one of my books. "Miracles for Michael", "Journey of the Promise", "Pages From the Past", and it's sequel, "The Silent Patriots". I have a manuscript at my publisher's, Cedar Fort, right now. I don't know its future, but as soon as I do, I'll let you know.
