Happy Thanksgiving!

Nov23

Turkey in oven, ham reheating in Crockpot, now it’s time to clean and I’m all set! My daughter is bringing the side dishes, we’ll play games after lunch, and the little one will go down for a nap. Fingers crossed.

I also finished Wolf on the Prowl early this morning. I cut out 9,000 words so am down to 93,500, so hope that works. Now I need to edit Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply and do a long synopsis of Wolf on the Prowl before I forget what I wrote. lol

Have a beautiful day!!!

Once Upon a Time…

Nov22

The beginning…

So I finished Wolf on the Prowl, wooohoooooooo! Hoooowwwwllll! But it was at 102,356 words. I started editing and removing repetitiveness and have it down to 99,194. I’m on ch 12 of 30 chapters, and hope to whittle it down to about 92K.

But, going with the family to a new animated feature today, so I need to get started this morning to get going on it!

Have a delightfully fun day!

Facebook Headers for Christmas

Nov21

I’ve been running all over, trying to get things done, but wanted to update my timeline FB art for the holidays. The weirdest things come to mind when I’m supposed to be sleeping. 🙂

Well, I’m at 102,000 words and counting on Wolf on the Prowl. I think I’m nearly done with it. Just need to finish one last scene and begin the editing all the way through.

I’m also watching a crazy movie called Downsizing with Matt Damon. So far, it’s really good. Okay, back to editing and then writing the final scene. It turned out cold today and I’m loving it!

And I think they fixed the leaks in my roof until they replace it. Yay! Since we’re having more rain this weekend and next week when they’re supposed to be roofing, but it might be delayed.

Turkey day is almost here!

Have a super fun day!!!

Wolves and the Elf

Nov20

The picture of the wolves is mine from The International Wolf Center

So you know how I was trying to get to 80K on Wolf on the Prowl? It’s now at 101K and I’m still trying to finish it. My editor won’t like it that long. So I’m going to have to finish it and then start cutting anything that is unnecessary.

We’re supposed to have rain today. The roofer said he’d have someone patch up things until they replace the roof. I sure hope so because we’ve got more rain coming.

Well, I’m off to work. Have a beautiful day!!

If Only…

Nov18

Our turkey was this pretty. I can smell it though–I make them several times a year because they’re good for us. I get the turkey breast and roast it.

Okay, I’m off to work on Wolf on the Prowl and I got edits for Alpha Wolf Need Not Apply, a reissue, due Dec 5th.

I’m nearly at 95K on Wolf on the Prowl. I’m still trying to finish it up. The roofer is also coming to look at my new water leaks today. Hoping they will put something up temporarily because we have rain coming Monday and the weekend after Thanksgiving and they won’t be here to roof until that following Tuesday, though it’s supposed to rain then too. *sigh*

Have a lovely day!!

Wolf, King of the Mountain

Nov16

No photo description available.

I was playing around with dramatizing a photo I had taken at the International Wolf Center of Aidan, King of the Mountain, the alpha pack leader at the time.

Still working on Wolf on the Prowl. Still trying to get it done. Maybe it will be by this weekend, which was my goal.

Have a dramatically beautiful day!!

Life is an Illusion

Nov15

Playing around with one of the pictures I took years ago at Disney World.

Off to work before little one arrives! I’m making corned beef for the Girl Scouts Friendsgiving, my granddaughter’s choice. So I showed her how I cook it, let her add the water and spices and corned beef, and then I’ll start cooking it in a little bit in the slow cooker all day.

Have a beautiful day!

Heater Disconnected from Exhaust Pipe

Nov14

Thankfully, I haven’t used the heater this season. But I did use it for two seasons. Luckily I didn’t use it for long because most of the time our winters are mild, and they had a lot of venting in the attic. BUT!!!!!!!!!!

What makes me so mad about it is that the guys that replaced the AC coils in 2021 did that! They hit it so bad, that the guys here just doing a safety check have worked hours on getting it right. I’m just glad I called them to check on things. Also, some gasket has sealant and he said that it’s better to have metal to metal because that sealant cracks.

Anyway, as soon as they leave, I have to get a turkey and ham before they’re all sold out and I have to pick up my granddaughter at school!

Have a great one.

I feel like a wet wolf…

Nov13

I caught a bunch of rain in my attic, but when I got up at 5 this morning, I hear drip, drip, drip in my bedroom closet, and a big wet spot under a light fixture where the water is coming from. This is the first time I’ve had water in there. It’s always been in the laundry room. So I put a bucket under it and head back up to the attic. The decking is all wet, the other bucket is about a 1/4 of the way full of water, but the decking should be dry. New place where it’s dripping. Ugh. Dash down the ladder, get another bucket, put it in a different spot, still with the other up there, and hope that will catch it all. We have rain until Tuesday.

My roof isn’t scheduled to be replaced until November 28th. Sigh.

My computer keeps crashing today. I’ve restarted it four times in 15 minutes. It’s going to be one of those days!

Off to work before baby gets here.

Happy Veteran’s Day!

Nov11

Going to lunch at Olive Gardens with the family for Veteran’s Day. Usually they’re working and I was going to go with my son-in-law and my grandson because my granddaughter and daughter were going Girl Scout camping again, but it’s cold and supposed to rain all weekend so they rescheduled. So the family will go together! That will be fun.

We had 2 1/2 inches of rain, yay!! And I love the cooler weather. I thought of pulling up some of my tomato plants but they have so many tomatoes on them I don’t have the heart to do it. lol

Okay, off to work on the story! I’m rereading it to see where my plot holes are and what I need to add to it.

Have a great day!!
