So this is the Simple Life
Posted on 12. Jul, 2010 by Kate in Musings
The children were all finally in bed. I turned to Nate and asked, “Do you remember when we lived in Springville and you would come home from work? We’d eat dinner, I’d do the dishes, and we’d all go for a walk?”
He nodded.
I glanced at the clock showing 9 PM. “I’m still on the do the dishes part.”

I am the mother of six learning to live in the country surrounded by in-laws. I've been married to the amazing Nate Palmer for 16 years; he is teaching me how to be a farm girl. In my spare time (okay--time I try really hard to set aside), I like to write. My first book, FALLING AWAKE, will be published in 2012 with Covenant Communications.
A True Short Story
My first published work entitled "More Than Pinecones" is in this collection of true Christmas stories.

I’m just jealous that all your children were in bed by 9. That never happens here, even on school nights.

It helps when their day starts at 6 or 6:30. Even so, 9:30 has been more the norm lately.

Go for a walk with your husband! That’s what we do. There just aren’t enough hours in the day…

Did they ever approve the narrow’s project? And how is your writing coming these days?

@Me, Hi again! It’s been a while. I hope your summer is going well. My oldest just made the high school soccer team. She’s pretty excited about it. (So are we–It’s more fun to watch your child play when you like the game, too.)
I think the Narrows Project is still under review. I haven’t heard anything new. We’re on 3 days on and 4 days off watering and that’s only one wheel line that we can turn on when we have our on days. It’s dry.
The only writing I’ve done this summer is in my head. That’s what happened last year, too. With a baby due very soon I don’t foresee that changing for a couple of months.
What about you? How’s your latest manuscript coming?
