please stand by……
Hours away from departing from San Jose.
House hunting in Florida for a week.
On the verge of throwing things off the rat-infested balcony. These are the moments that try women’s souls and hearts. How all this shit got into the car in the first place is beyond me.
This will pass. I see blue sky and hours to write and then more hours beyond that. In the meantime where the hell do I put the last three bags?
Will write from the house-search highway.
Please pass the wine.

Hi Kris! I am hosting a “funeral” book club party! I LOVED Annie and her friends. Any ideas to help make my “funeral” more fun? I have bought The Elegant Gathering. I know that all my friends will love your books as much as I do! You have fans in Pittsburgh! Thanks for any suggestions. Good luck with your house hunting. Peace

when ever you land somewhere and have time to catch up, drop a line. speaking of dropping, the temps are about to plumet into a deep freeze with highs below zero. bet you miss it.
make a track in the sand for me.
good luck.

Yes, all of these moments, all of these days, that try our heart and try our soul…through which we somehow grow stronger and wiser…from which we weave more of our life’s threads into the tapestry of who we are, who we were, and who we will become. Stay strong, Kris…and carry with you the thoughts and wishes of all of us who journey with you.

I find the sun on the Florida gulf coast to be therapeutic. Dream of it as you drive. Know that in just a few short days you’ll be able to dig your toes in to the softest sand on earth (especially if you make it as far south as Bonita Beach) and that whatever toxins you absorbed in CA will be baked out in FL.
I’ll be near Bonita / Sanibel 13 – 21 Feb. If you’re in the area, we can kvetch………..missing you in the land of cheese and snow and air so cold it freezes the hairs in your nostrils (remember that feeling???)

Hi Kris,
I’m now on the third book, Traveling Funeral, and enjoying all of them. My workouts have gone from 45 to 65 minutes. Just wanted to thank you for the spices and wish you well on your journey. If you don’t like Florida, keep Santa Barbara in mind. Lot of sun and no humidity. Your always welcome. Happy house hunting.

Godspeed, Ladies……It will be nice to know you are at least in the east. Don’t forget you have a growing fan base in Boston! Although don’t come here now….heading for the deep freeze!
