I wrote a book

I can only write about it, because I tried reading it to my step-mom and couldn't stop laughing when I heard her laughing. I'm not talking little chuckles of 'oh, that's cute'. I'm talking belly shaking, tears in your eyes, can't breathe laughing.

My Grammy asked me to write when I left. And being my father's daughter, I will - my way.

We all received a beautiful reminder of our trip as a gift. The girls anyway - guys got shirts. Although, Grammy didn't stay with us 24/7 - she was around a lot. Most of the time laughing. She thinks our section of the family is nuts.

Like I said, it was a full week of jokes and laughing. Honestly, if we were at a party - all of you would gravitate to us. Together we are all pretty powerful. We feed off each others jokes and laughter. I guess like most families - except we are a Polish/Italian mix of loud!!!!

So many hilarious things happened on vacation. So, I compiled them into my first ever Fiction Novel. One of my projects since I returned.

Hey, Grammy wanted me to write - so I write.

My step-mom hung up on me! She was laughing too hard when I was reading it too her.

It's a work of fiction, based on our zanniness. Hopefully Grammy laughs too! Cause it is headed out in the mail tomorrow.

Hope no one takes offense to the above - it is all in good fun. Laughing at ourselves it was keeps us going on this wonderful journey called life.

Hold on to your britches, cause if folks that laugh live longer - we's gonna be 'round forsa long time!
