This
morning was one of those days! Hubby was scheduled for a minor outpatient surgery
at – believe it or not – 6 AM! The alarm clock buzzed at five, I looked out the
window to see a brand new inch of snow coating the ice-packed roads. Yay!
It’s
amazing how fast people drive at 5:35 in the morning, in the dark, on powder-glazed
skating-rink streets. I, of course, am the poky person in their way, but I can
brag that I’ve had only one crash in my entire life, and that was decades ago.
The
surgery center waiting room held a variety of people, which kept my interest
during the two-hour wait while hubby was in the OR. A German couple, two
burka-clad women, a lovely Korean couple, and a second-generation, elderly
Italian man who made me laugh when he tried to tell his wife how to organize her
purse. She slapped his hand away, which made me laugh even more.
I love
writing multicultural books, exploring the diversity of our world. As a
full-time writer, I realize I don’t get out enough. I don’t mingle with people
who would be great inspiration for my stories. And that has to change…but not
until these darn streets are cleared off! LOL
FALL - October 17 |

Happy

Diversity is a wonderful thing. We're doing the early winter 'plow through' too. Last year was bad enough. Hope hubby is doing well.
Hope the procedure went well. At least you had some time to people watch. LOL, I love the pics...especially the winter one. Wish it was like that here!
I love your pictures. Hope the procedure went well.
I noticed the same thing and made an effort to go to the store with my husband.This is a chore I have very low on my priority list. I have decided I'd rather spend the time writing.
I need to spend more time people watching. It's an excellent way to flesh out characters with quirks you might not have thought of on your own. New resolution--pay attention to people while Christmas shopping and take a note pad! Thanks for the brilliant idea, Laura.
Hope your DH is feeling better. Nice photos - like the autumn one best, though! What's with all this early snowfall we seem to be getting everywhere?
Love people watching - and isn't it nice that, being writers, we can eavesdrop on other people's conversations and call it 'research' rather than 'nosiness'? Lol.
