Thanks so much for stop...Hi Julia, Wendy and Heidi,<br />Thanks so much for stopping by. Here's a short poem. It is my first published by a commerical publisher, Royal Publishing Co., in Dallas, Texas. It's in a book, Anthology of American Poetry.<br />The Wave<br />White foam curls from its surging bank<br />While the wave rolls around grained earth<br />And folds under to meet towing currents<br />That take it back to reach the depths,<br />From where it first broke forth to climb<br />To the edge of white sunny sands.<br />Tossed and turned, the wave rolls about<br />To land in a dark sea of doubt.<br />Copyright by Paul L. Heard, 1963<br /><br />As for my pecan pie recipe, I'm scheduled to reveal my secret ingredient in an interview on July 27th (that's a while) at Long and Short Reviews. LOL<br /><br />I see I had my husband draw a name too soon. I'll get him to draw another tonight for a free download.Gail Pallottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867438154973036168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692609412117539708.post-77021762247720362552010-06-12T10:12:48.967-07:002010-06-12T10:12:48.967-07:00Wonderful interview, I really enjoyed reading it. ...Wonderful interview, I really enjoyed reading it.

I would love to look for some of his poetry, too. That's so neat that you have a legacy of writing. My grandfather was a printer who taught my uncle the love of words and he is a columnist/editor for the Detroit Free Press. <br /><br />P.S. Also my mouth is watering for your pecan pie recipe :).<br /><br />julesreffner(at)gmail(dot)comJulia M.

I love the fact that you make a complete list of each character before you start the book, and list all their likes and dislikes, what a wonderful way to really know your characters.

It sounds as though you have a full, happy retirment that you enjoy in spite of the fact that there's less time. I've heard that the activities in our lives will expand to fill the time required to complete the tasks. Perhaps, there's some truth in it. Thanks for stopping by. Enjoy your gardening.Gail Pallottahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05867438154973036168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692609412117539708.post-67228064629963675712010-06-11T15:28:59.318-07:002010-06-11T15:28:59.318-07:00Hi Gail from another Georgian.

It is fasinating to find out the little things about authors and how they feel.<br />I also love Destin but has been awhile since I was there. I love being around water especially the ocean. The waves make me relax and feel calm.<br />I have not read any of your books but have added you to my new author list and your book to my wish list. Can't wait to read. Now that I am retired I seem to have less time then when I was working..lol.. But I do enjoy the peace and quiet and chance to do more gardening.<br /><br />Thanks Shawna for having Gail here to chat.<br /><br />misskallie2000 at yahoo dot commisskallie2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/09235631978482541630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7692609412117539708.post-14131643196263971752010-06-11T14:09:27.082-07:002010-06-11T14:09:27.082-07:00Hi Celia,
