My dogs may be my greatest inspiration, but there are a lot of other things that trigger my creativity!<br /><br />Lexie is barking as I write this, Morgan, so I get it about Rascal. Mystie hugs my face for attention, so it's hard sometimes to accomplish anything.<br /><br />My son and daughter-in-law were awakened by other stuff going on that night so they didn't even think of an earthquake, Betty.Linda O.

My roof stops leaking and all the plastic things get stowed. Not so back east. I really feel for their trouble, having been through an almost as bad storm in Chicago a long time ago.<br /><br />I thought about the earthquake in Chicago, too. Particularly since I'm going there next week. My apartment shakes a lot, but I don't get nervous, knowing it's the nearby train or a truck. Now I won't be so sure.Betty Hechtmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14652848311122102223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-77299205134263147272010-02-11T20:05:47.979-05:002010-02-11T20:05:47.979-05:00I wish Rascal would lay at my feet when I write. U...I wish Rascal would lay at my feet when I write. Unfortunately, when I'm at my computer, that's when she usually decides to bark or nudge me for attention. She does the same thing when I'm on the phone. I'm afraid she's an attention hog.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-89383031089710495902010-02-11T18:52:03.815-05:002010-02-11T18:52:03.815-05:00Believe it or not, I find inspiration almost every...Believe it or not, I find inspiration almost everywhere, with not enough time to write about it all!Janie Emaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17053003978794589095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-89538188618807139372010-02-11T13:24:17.432-05:002010-02-11T13:24:17.432-05:00Things are already bright and sunny here now, Cami...Things are already bright and sunny here now, Camille.
