If  you’ve seen me on a Hangout video with Jason Matthews’ Indie Authors show, you will know that I have a paper towel holder and a red cutting board behind my desk as well as  a stainless steel toaster and tea kettle. I tried to hide some of the kitchen mess with an orchid from my living room table, but that didn’t work well.

After seven years in my kitchen, I now have a desk in a proper room.

Just in case you didn’t see my kitchen, check this out. Here I’m introducing Jason Matthews and our wonderful panel of indie authors from my kitchen. Looks like I forgot to put the oven dish with foil away. Two of my sons were home during these videos, and I told them not to come into the kitchen while we were recording. Poor kids were thirsty and starving, they had to go out and get food as they couldn’t get to the fridge.

I converted my youngest son’s bedroom into an office and purchased a used cherry wood table and file cabinet, from Craig’s list.

You should have seen Duke and I struggle to carry this table off his truck into our garage, and then slide it along our narrow hallway into my son’s bedroom. Duke had to take the door off the hinges as it barely fit.

Can you see the photo on the wall in front of me? Well that’s a present from a friend in Belize, Olivera Rusu, a professional photographer on the island where we lived called, Ambergris Caye. She sent me this photo for my birthday; it’s from Azul, a small resort about half a mile north of where we lived.

Duke received this beautiful photograph of Goff’s Caye, an island eleven miles from Belize City.
