I will be writing a monthly craft column for a magazine! It's a regional magazine published here in Oklahoma and distributed free: The Corridor

I sent the editor a proposal yesterday, with a sample article I proposed for the first one, and she responded back promptly today! I'll get PAID (not much, but more per article than I was getting at Demand Studios) and I will retain my copyright, so that after the article has been in print, I can post it online or whatever I want!

And my first article will appear in the JULY issue! Now, is that a great birthday present or what???

I have posted another chapter of "Ancestress" to troubledtribble

Our church had an old-fashioned ice cream social and hymn sing tonight to welcome our new pastor. She seems very nice, and I have liked both of her sermons that I've heard so far (This was her second Sunday). She has a much quieter style than our previous pastor, whom I also liked very much.

We sang a lot of old hymns, including some I had not sung in quite a while. This one was a favorite of one of my college roommates-- hearing her singing it in our dorm room with her guitar was the first time I ever heard it. Anyway, I found several versions of it on YouTube, but this one I thought was the nicest-- these kids sing beautifully!
