I can commiserate when it comes to having a hard time writing a piece shorter for a change--usually find that difficult, myself.<br /><br />And, lastly, a toast: <b>Here's to hoping Callie knows how to keep her inflatable bras away from the cactii if she ever gets out Arizona way!</b> Though everybody here would LOVE to see her visit. ;-)<br /><br />--DixonDixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01454210400565573813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-33833174926207311062017-05-17T13:52:07.403-04:002017-05-17T13:52:07.403-04:00Thanks for all the wonderful comments from Callie&...Thanks for all the wonderful comments from Callie's friends. She (and I) appreciate every one of them, and I appreciate every one of YOU. I am currently working on my very first Callie short story and finding it harder to write than the full-length books. By the way, Eve has probably guessed that one of my sons joined my family the way she joined hers. A little side-story, Eve: When he was twelve, we went to get a sports physical. After I marked all the medical issues in his dad's and my families, my son said, "You just wasted a lot of time on things that don't relate to me.

They're usually cats instead of dogs because the characters are on the go getting into trouble. <br /><br />Someone (Leigh?) tipped me off to your Callie series a couple of months ago and I've read and enjoyed two of them, including the one where Big Boy enters the mix. <br /><br />Callie is a rich and fully developed character, and her dealings with daddy and her brothers add more depth and more humor to the stories...like they need either.<br /><br /> Steve Liskowhttp://www.steveliskow.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-63192138097612606622017-05-17T08:06:27.453-04:002017-05-17T08:06:27.453-04:00I know all those folks, Fran!
