I wish we had a good used book store nearby. <br /><br />In my novel, both Jenny and the African boy she befriends are trying to finding their way home. And though it's not in his POV, several other characters share their POV, which I need to work on coz I'm afraid it could be confusing to readers. So, I have a lot of work to do on it - when I get back from Kenya!Chris Loehmer Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831717125652627898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241192549225040333.post-16685656049516859942015-09-14T22:23:01.198-07:002015-09-14T22:23:01.198-07:00I think Finding the Way Home is good, but if it is...I think Finding the Way Home is good, but if it is about Jenny finding her way home would Finding MY Way Home work better? I don't know if it is all from Jenny's POV, but that just popped into my head when I was reading the titles.<br /><br />Raising chickens is so much fun for kids. Not sure if your contact means to have the kids take care of them or just have them there to provide food, but my kids have learned a lot and the chickens are so entertaining to watch. We only keep 4 so they are more pets than livestock, but I found <a href="http://product.half.ebay.com/The-Complete-Idiots-Guide-to-Raising-Chickens-by-Jerome-D-Belanger-2010-Paperback/74863463&cpid=1398111355" rel="nofollow">The Idiots Guide to Raising Chickens</a> very helpful and there are quite a few available inexpensively on Half.com. <br /><br />Good luck from a ROW80 blog hopping friend.

I admire how you balance all of your commitments. That book title may continue to tease at you -- I like FINDING THE WAY HOME as it expresses that journey we all take to find our true home. And 4 weddings? Seriously! But how good to share in beginnings. Thank you also for being a sponsor for ROW80 and for your encouraging notes!

I will be researching projects which future teams can work on. Our liaison in Kenya wants to start raising chickens at the school he works with, so I will be concentrating on the feasibility of that, along with coming up with other ideas. <br /><br />And interestingly enough, the novel I have been editing is about a woman who goes to Kenya on vacation and then goes back to do mission work!<br />Chris Loehmer Kincaidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16831717125652627898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2241192549225040333.post-68768898858482425082015-09-13T12:18:38.022-07:002015-09-13T12:18:38.022-07:00Have a great trip to Kenya, is it a mission trip? ...Have a great trip to Kenya, is it a mission trip? Looks like you are doing well on your goals. I like the title "The Way Home". I don't know the plot, but that title is easy to remember and covers many topics.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13438025652885894751noreply@blogger.com
