Oh, Happy Spring... and The Jeffrey Journey!

It's spring - officially, anyway - so we've said adios to the final souvenirs of our action-packed three months of winter bliss.

You can breathe now, guys


We know there's a very good possibility that there will be more white stuff before we dare put the snow shovel up, but at least we have hope that we are actually moving into another season. Here's a little proof.





Oh, wait - those aren't us; those are from Katie's recent photo trip to Phoenix - sorry!

Here's what some of the rest of us have been doing:

Sami celebrated her lucky 12th birthday with her usual charm.

Biggest news, besides the big thaw, is the reissue of The Jeffrey Journey!


It's currently available online thru Amazon.com (also in Kindle version), Barnes & Noble, and Milverstead Publishing.

A portion of the proceeds are earmarked for the Gwendolyn Strong Foundation, which is working tirelessly for research to squelch the devastation of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), the disease that affected our baby, Jeffrey (SMA is the leading genetic cause of death of children under two). More organizations will benefit in the future as well!

In addition, the book is available thru me as part of a package with CDs of my mother's lush original music!


(I have no idea why this is so small. It was a HUGE project!)


You can read more about Mom (alias JoAnn Derden) and listen to snippets of the music here.

Whew - that's a lotta hot links up there!

Happy SPRING!

  1. Aww, as Scott and I were leaving, we saw those little froggies peeking out of the ice! We told them goodbye before we left, haha!

    Your daughter's photos are lovely!

  2. Hi, Cassie! I'm popping over from the Suite so I don't have to sign out, sign in, sign back out, and sign back in :)

    Glad you didn't ignore the little cabin froggies! They look ready for spring, too, poor things.

    Katie said she took 2000+ photos!

    Hope you've settled back into the real world!
