As June comes to a close, I'm so grateful for all the wonderful things that happened this month. June 1st I got the clear mammogram report, "No evidence of cancer." It's been 12 years, but still always a relief to get that annual letter! On the 4th, I signed the contact for my third picture book with Familius publishing, "Nighty Night, Bears." This means a lot to me because the very first book I ever learned to read on my own was "Little Bear" by Else Homelund Minarik.
On the 5th, we invited a petsitter over to meet our dogs and it turns out he was the man who saved our dog Lacy's life when she was hit by a car! The driver never stopped, and this man, Mike, got her out of the street and held her until we got there in minutes. We drove straight to the animal hospital, and I never got his name of contact info. She had a broken pelvis but has healed beautifully, and Mike was thrilled to see that she's doing well.
On the 13th, three good things--started the day by getting the Wordle word in two guesses, got a "champagne rejection" from agent Miranda P. wanting me to know that my story "Toys Ahoy" intrigued her and she would reconsider it if I revise. And...after 7 years together, Jim and I got married! Very small gathering but just a lovely day.
There have been some sad days, too--a funeral for a friend from my cancer group, and our 19 year old cat Maggie May passed away. Jim has had some issues with back pain. But the month will end joyfully--on the 29th, grandson Oliver will turn 3 years old! And July will start off happily with Jim's brother and sisiter-in-law arriving from Boulder on the 1st to celebrate Jim's 75th birthday on the 2nd. We'll be off to my nephew's wedding in Boise on the 25th and my kids will arrive to visit on the 28th! Life is so good.
