Thank heaven for wonderful family and friends, writing and flower gardening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What’s keeping you going during this hide-away pandemic?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been creating and cleaning up the manuscript of Overalls, Pinafores, and Pigtails<\/em> – The story of a young girl growing up in a Norwegian community on a Wisconsin tobacco farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my previous novels, I wove a make-believe mystery with make-believe characters in a real setting. Now, with this story, I have a character based on true stories within a fixed historical setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For me this is a true learning experience since I did not grow up on a farm, knew nothing about growing tobacco and must think through the mind of my main character, Hattie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And, talk about critique check!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I currently live in a community that grew up on farms, raised tobacco and lived the life. Lots of neighbors to help as I get my mind around the inside view of growing up in the 1940’s and knowing farm practices and farm machinery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fun sharing their memories and translating into words on the page the lives of people who lived and created delightful family happenings on the land and from the land.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
