Found!

My mini office bag arrived yesterday. The bag contained my Chromebook, journal, datebook, chargers, notebooks with pockets stuffed with notes and folders with more pockets, and pens! 

I wrote about how lost I felt without the mini office within reach. I forgot it at my Mom’s place in Florida. You can read the whole saga HERE.

Luckily, resourceful and quick action cousins packed and sent the bag to me via UPS. I stalked its journey up the east coast. The mini office bag and its contents came six hours early, safe and sound. 

Although I made do with a pen that was lying around, a spare notebook and my husband’s laptop, it was not the same as my familiar “tools of the trade”. 

Happily, I am back to scribbling on and rambling through writing projects while knowing my stuff is within an arm’s reach. 

Stay safe, My Everyone!

Enjoy ❤️.   Like 👍.  Share 😊.

Becoming America’s Food Stories


Hope you are hungry. Becoming America’s Food Stories recalls the tales that have been told around my family’s dinner table. The histories explain the motivations over bowls of macaroni, antics play out while slurping soup, and laughter echoes throughout the dining room. Pull up a seat. There’s always room.
The Heart of Bakers and Artists is set in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, 1911. The story follows nine-year-old Lily, an American-born child of Sicilian immigrants, who wants to prove she is not a little kid. To be a big kid in the crowded tenement neighborhoods, she must tackle bigotry, bullies, disasters, dotty bakers, and learn to cross the street by herself
The Dreams of Singers and Sluggers picks up where The Heart of Bakers and Artists left off.Lily has big dreams to sing out with her powerful voice, but must do EVERYTHING, since Mama fell into a deep depression, the baby is sick, and the “Black Hand” terrorizes the neighborhood, threatening her chance to sing at the New York Highlanders Fourth of July baseball game.
Antoinette Truglio Martin is the author of Hug Everyone You Know: A Year of Community, Courage, and Cancer. The memoir is a wimpy patient’s journey through her first year of breast cancer treatment.
