Last week was filled with some of my favorite simple pleasures. I spent time with friends at a Hemingway-Pfeiffer writer retreat which meant five whole days to talk about writing, share my writing, think about writing, and actually write. This is blissful. I followed that up at the Bat Cave with my Mother which always involves lots of laughing.
So a few of last week’s pleasures were…
1. A tranquil drive through the Ozark Mountains.
2. A glimpse of Lake Norfork, (my happy place), perfectly timed at sunset.
3. Sharing the first chapter of my manuscript with other writers and receiving wonderfully positive feedback. Yay.
4. A great night’s sleep at home in Mississippi County followed by a lazy morning drinking coffee with Momma.
5. Being surrounded by delta farmland for a few days! Look at all the beautiful cotton:))
Here’s wishing you a week of good coffee and lots of laughter.

Oh, what fun we had. We were entertained all week by “Veronica”. The Arctic Vortex is headed this way; that is always fun at the Bat Cave. A challenge, for sure.
Great pix. You do have a knack. Is that the moon in the sunset picture? Is this a great retreat or what?! Pat Carr brings such interesting people with her. Glad I went!
That moon may be a spot on my windshield:)) Yes the retreat was great. Pat Carr is great. I’m glad you went too!
Such a great retreat! Talya, your writing is always wonderful! Can’t wait until the book comes out!
Thank you Eva. Always great to spend time with you!
