sandy montgomery: Having a fibro pitty party today. You all are invited. Bring chocolate.

sandy montgomery: Hey friends I hope you will be noticing a difference in my future reviews and I hope it is positive. After some discussion on the forum and extensive review of the star system, and after recieving some exceptional reviews of my own work I have decided to work harder on my own. You deserve better and I want to grow as a writer and reviewer. I ask for your grace and patience and for you not to be offended if you recieve a four star review from me in the future. I do not profess to know everything and often make my own mistakes. I even, in the past have felt my hackles rise if I see a four. But I see now that four stars is still a good review. Some of the most helpful reviews I got were fours. ( that's not to say I don't appreciate all those fantastic fives and sixes) but the higher marks mean more if I know the reviewer is honestly rating my work and not me as a person. I hope I have not offended as I write this and I hope my future reviews will be respected and trully helpful. That being said I have not overrated most work I simply have not taken the time and care that I desire others to bring to my work. Love you all!!!

sandy montgomery: 🍁🍂🌾🎃👻
Fall is here!!

sandy montgomery: I have both bad and great news to share. The bad news is my reviews and writing will continue to be sporadic until after May 5th. The good news is that I am going to be busy helping get ready for Gwen to come home. Yeah she will be discharged on May 5th. We found out she is severely autistic and that is the root of her issues. So keep on praying but we can't wait for her to come home.

sandy montgomery: I've been so busy with things lately that I have hardly written a thing. I just finished some projects and so hopefully will really be back fully now. Gwen is doing so well. She has had a few 12 hour visits which means she is close to comming home. She has lost over twenty pounds and spent last Saturday with us modeling clothes and playing with her cousins. Thanks to all of you who have been praying. It has made a difference.
