I have 7 days left and it isn't looking very good. But I am still hopeful so please pledge, tell your friends to pledge, tell anyone you know who might find this interesting.

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving!

Wow, I am really sorry I haven't posted an update. My house has been hit hard with this Swine Flu and after two weeks of taking care of sick kids I am finally getting caught up on my own work. That doesn't account for the time before all of this but I really don't know what to say in an update. I'm plugging along in my book, as always, there just isn't too much to update about.

The book has been a challenge, however my mom has been working with me on some of the background I was not aware of. Her memory isn't all that great but I am confident that most of the old days she remembers are fairly accurate. She did give me a stack of letters my father wrote to her before they were married which has helped a lot.

Thank you to all of my backers, I really appreciate your support. It is so nice to have people show support in what is really a very solitary endeavor. I can't tell you how much it means to me.

So the video sucks, I know. I will post a better one as soon as I can find someone to hold the camera or I can get Stanley to stop licking his foot. It's dark but he really is licking his foot, nothing obscene there.

Please feel free to ask me any questions about this project.

Thanks,

Jen
