I must say I was enchanted by your description of Bainbridge Island, so I looked it up (couldn't wait for pictures ;-) ).

Oh my! No wonder you are so happy there. I'm sure you'll have many more stories to tell us at Christmastime. :clap_1:

Will soon post pics of the new place. Getting a new household set up while attempting a sabbatical from work is an oxymoron!

The book is actually set at SoWal, Grayton to be exact. It is the story of an older woman, a peppery old bird who has lived an "indelicate" life, who has repaired to a cherished seaside cottage to live out the remainder of her years. The story is told through a series of letters, postcards, and articles that she has written over the course of her life. I have the correspondence part and am now working on the connective tissue. The writing comes easily here, perhaps due to lack of a lot of people and no distractions of work. Thanks for cheering me on.

Yes, will be down your way in December and hoping that Santa will be in flip-flops!
 
Donna, I have missed you on this board *so* much. Somehow I missed this thread until just now and happened to be thinking about you. So I did a "Donna" search on the board.

Your place on Bainbridge Island sounds absolutely divine! It does sound like the setting for a great novel. Please stay in touch with us.

Love,
BR

We thought about you last night while watching House Hunters on HGTV. The setting for the house search was Bainbridge Island! It looks so wooded and lush.
