Summer is Finally Here
We actually hit 80 degrees yesterday (Sunday). For weeks now we’ve been getting rain and highs in the 60’s. I’ve had to run the furnace as recently as Saturday. It’s so nice to warm up a bit. I’m sorry I missed a couple of days posting. I’ve been busy painting a house. I’ve got paint splatters on my hands and arms. My arms are so tired they are shaky. Still have one room to do the primer on, then we […]

Sorry I’m running so late. I DO intend to do this, but I’m buried in legal papers and looking at two tight deadlines right now.
Mockingjay by Suzanne Collins p. 29
They would be even more powerful if that pox epidemic hadn’t flattened their birthrate and made them so desperate for a new gene pool and breeders. Maybe they are militaristic, overly programmed, and somewhat lacking in a sense of humor. I got totally sucked in to the first two books, but it’s taking me a little longer to get into this one. Probably it’s just that it took me too long to get the copy. I AM enjoying it, even […]
Bella Diana by Ann Pino page… um…two?
Seems like lately I’ve been doing more online reading. There are some really fantastic serials and novels posted on people’s blogs – original works for free. Whee! So, anyway, this is what I’m reading right now. “There’s only so much we can do,” Harley pointed out. “It’s not like we’ve got qualified soldiers waiting in line to join us.” Want to read more?

Rabbit Rabbit! for January 2011
It’s the year of the rabbit on the Chinese calendar this year. Looks like we’re in for a lot of luck. Say Rabbit Rabbit in the comments to bring good luck to you and me. Post a picture of a rabbit and I’ll link to you.
What’s Cooking?
What are you having for Thanksgiving dinner? I’m having turkey with two kinds of stuffing, candied yams, mash potatoes, rolls, pecan pie, Waldorf salad, and cranberry sauce. In fact, I’m busy making it right now.
