Nancy roasted lamb that she had in freezer and we had a couple of meals remembering what the Jews ate at passover which seemed the thing to do for Lent. I told her that they wouldn't have had rice with it, but what do I know. She has studied Seder meals and said they would have had bitter herbs with unleavened bread, matzah, as well as eggs and wine. I don't remember eating lamb before. It is fat but had a lot of meat on the ribs we had. We had broccoli with it and I don't think that is an Egyptian veggie.
Monday night we attended the local Writers Bloc in Granbury as guests. I presented one of my published Livestock Weekly columns and they gave it a good critique. Made me realize I need to edit the columns better before I submit them. I have always just dashed them off, like this blog, which is a big mistake. The speaker was a seller of millions of books. LeAnn Weiss is the writer of Christian books and known as the Hugs writer. She said she received $1.25 royalty on a million of them, but had over 6 million books published. They have been translated into many other languages. She gave us tips on how to research and write our ideas by being creative.
Another guest at the meeting was a SciFi writer who has written 4 books since he retired as a civil engineer 3 years ago. He hasn't published any. One member of the group has published for the Stephenville and Granbury city magazines and another has published many devotionals.
The meeting was held in a three story retirement community that got my attention. When we get old we might consider it for a residence due to the proximity to FW and Weatherford medical facilities.
