Definitely.
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Look what I just found on facebook! We had a guest for Christmas, so we have a picture of the whole family on Christmas morning, even the dog!!! The dog is thrilled with her Christmas present: a rubber chicken. It's in her mouth. :D

If you parents are amazed at my well-dressed boys (Shirts and ties on Christmas morning?!!) they are waiters and are about to leave for work, lol . . .

I was stunned at your well-dressed boys, so thanks for the explanation! Looks like a happy family.

justTripn, very lovely picture with so family atmosphere and the interesting portrait on wall. Is it the tapestry or the computer image printed on the paper?

It is a self portrait by my boy in the purple shirt (sitting on the couch under the picture). It is made of marshmallows! The pink, green, and orange marshmallows making up the face came that way right out of the package. The dark black and blue marshmellows were painted. That boy is my artist. Here it is before some marshmellows feel off:

Oh dear, to get back on the Star Trek topic, I just noticed the present I am opening up in that picture is from my mom. It's a playset. It's the bridge of the Enterprise from the new movie. *embarrassed face* While my boys get clothes and books, lol . . . My mom is also the one who bought me the Enterprise christmas tree ornament. You see, I am very much out of the closet with my Star Trek obsession. :?

The resemblance was obvious but he is very patient to make it by himself. I suppose he is not only an artist but he was also the big master of connecting puzzles. Am I right? By the way, Ragua's "Puzzling Connections" was my first story at HoT. I found that site in July 2006 and that story was at main page.
You are so lucky, justTripn, that your mother's gifts are such careful and respectful in regards of your hobby.

NO WAY! That is amazing. Did he do that at home on his own? Unfortunately it wouldn't last in my house. Either my son or the dogs would eat it. :lol:

Here are my holiday pics Formal Christmas eve with Mikes' family, casual Christmas Day with mine and my family at our NYE party.

Ludmila, you are right about the thoughtfulness of the presents. I believe I have the most wonderful mother in the world. Aikiweesie, my son C. did that for school. He went to a High School for Creative and Performing Arts. And yes, that picture does smell like marshmellows if you are sitting on the couch. I am really enjoying spying on your holidays too! As other's have noted, it all looks so warm and cozy. Merry Christmas.
