iI have been trying to write my book. It is a book on fishing. In our area we have a beach that flat bottom boats launch right into the surf. I was one of the first of five women to do this with their husbands in 1971. I really can't type, like I use to way back. I want to be able to talk into the mike and then give it to someone to take the words off the tape. I have the most of it out on a table in "my office" as such as it is. Everything is in here. I am just tired and I don't know what to do to get me up and at'em. I enjoy my computer and I play some games and puzzles. I read some but have age related eye degeneration.
I also read slowly some books. I have a little dog "Abbi" which I dearly love. She barks alot which gives my husband the fits...I have three son's and 1 daughter. * grand children, 6 great grandchildren one of who is 22. One of my grand daughters is getting married on October 1. For her wedding shower I found a set of two "camouflage wine glasses. She really liked them. For her wedding gift I am getting a "Amish Heart Basket with leather handels" 12x12 x6 3/4th. I will do nicely as I bought as follows... 2 each smoked oysters, smoked clams, smoked mussels, sardines, shrimp and tuna fish and colored tooth picks. I will wrap each set of two items and then wrap the whole basket. The basket she can use for many things. ..... Rambling on today. Nancy

I know your granddaughter will appreciate how thoughtfully you have chosen her gifts, particularly with all the other things you have going on.
As for your book, you might want to check out Thumbtack.com. It's sort of like an online bulletin board where people can post what skills they offer and what they need. If you post a request for someone who could turn your dictation into print, they will come back to you with an estimate of what it would cost to do that. You'll get 5 responses and can choose one or none of them.
Good luck! Even Mark Twain remarked that if he'd known how much trouble it was to write a book, he might never have done it. So keep pushing through to accomplish that worthy and demanding goal.
