Storms coming!

Jul2

We need rain again and supposedly were going to have strong thunderstorms this afternoon. Maybe it will cool things down a bit. We can use the rain!

I’m up to 29K on One Enchanted Evening. Title might change. I’ve had trouble with the cover artist not responding to my correspondence, so the book cover I paid good money for may have to be changed out to something else. So irritating when contractual obligations mean nothing. The worst part is I have several covers I bought from her, so the cost really adds up. But I’m still having fun with the book in the meantime!!!

Have a super great day! I’m back to the book!

Eye of the Octopus

Jun28

Isn’t he/she beautiful? They usually hide in rocks and crevices, but this one was very active at the Omaha zoo that day. So I caught several photos of her beautiful eye!

I finished proofing Bear in Pursuit and so I’m working on getting it ready for publication. Woohoo!

Hope you have a beautiful day!

Argh!!!

Jun22

So I had that lovely beefsteak tomato large and ripening when we came back from our vacation and I went to pick it yesterday. It was in this nice little bag to protect it from caterpillars and birds and guess what? Something tore a hole in the sack and devoured my tomato!

Why it matters? That is the only large tomato I’ve had on ANY of my tomato plants. Story of my life. The cherry tomatoes are always prolific, but the others, no go for me. Next year? I buy the tomatoes from the store and have something to eat.

So there, whatever you were that ate my tomato!

Off to do blood work. I wish it would go to once every two weeks or so, but while I’m on chemo through October, I’m afraid it will be every week forever.

Have a super great day and may your hard work provide bountiful rewards!

Hiking to the Lake of the Ozarks

Jun21

I had landed hard on my knee and broken my big toe a week before we started all these wild activities while playing with the grandkids. This included a 36-hole mini golf, up and down hills and the same with the cave trek and just even the cabin, all the stairs to the cabin, then in the cabin, and down to the lake. I had to be so careful I didn’t fall again. I even paddled a paddleboat with my son-in-law back and forth on the finger of the lake where we were staying.

I believe all the climbing and paddling was like physical therapy and by the time I got home, my knee felt so much better, especially without all the climbing!

But these pictures show how steep the hiking trail was and how littered with rocks and roots–all hard to navigate in my condition!

We had a ball, though, and my daughter made sure I didn’t fall while my son-in-law made sure my 5-year-old grandson didn’t. lol

I’m on ch 7 of 30 on proofing on Bear in Pursuit!

Hope you are having a great Father’s Day, if you’re a daddy!!!

Duck and Her Ducklings

Aren’t they cute?

I’m off to finally proof Bear in Pursuit. I’m hoping I’ll have it done by next weekend!

Have a super fine day!

Mallard Duck Couple

Jun19

They climbed on top of the mat the kids and grandkids used to play on. Then a duck and her 7 ducklings did too, but I was paddling with my son-in-law and didn’t get a photo.

So much wildlife on the Lake of the Ozarks!

Still working on edits on Bear in Pursuit!

Have a terrific day!

Ha Ha Tonka Castle in Camdenton, Mansion of the Lake of the Ozarks

Jun18

Ha Ha Tonka Castle in Camdenton, Mansion of the Lake of the Ozarks, built in the 1900s and burned down in 1947.

The kids took me to see it, knowing how much I like to see castles/ruins.

I’m still working on Bear in Pursuit.

Had a moment to straighten up the house because my granddaughter won’t be here for the next four days. I have a repairman coming to hopefully fix my recliner tomorrow, which buckles when I try to open it. I use it all the time and the dogs cuddle with me while I’m working. It’s part of a unit so I can’t just buy a new one. But repairing it will probably cost as much as a new recliner!

Hope you all are having a great day!!!

Geese and Their Goslings–Lake of the Ozarks

Jun17

There was so much wildlife around the Ozarks. We saw a mink go into a hole lakeside below a cabin, but we were paddling a paddlewheeler and I didn’t have my phone with me to capture it. Deer were all over. A heron kept landing on gray rocks that I couldn’t capture either. A beaver was crossing the road. We even saw a family of wild boars in Texas on the way up there. And the swallows undercover at the Mexican restaurant.

We saw bats at night, leaving caves, and ducks and their ducklings. And carp at the lake below the cave we went through, and some other fish my granddaughter kept catching and releasing.

I’m off to work on more edits on Bear in Pursuit before my granddaughter arrives. We’re working on spelling, writing, reading, and math through the summer to get a head start on 4th grade. I’m so grateful she’s here for the summer like she has been every summer before I got so sick last year. So we’ve been working on HEB, Girl Scout, and library reading goals.

If I could, I’d take her swimming, but I can’t get into the water yet. Boo.

Have a super fun-filled day!!

Swallows at a Mexican Restaurant in Texas

Jun16

They were perfectly happy to watch all the patrons who were coming and going beneath them. I saw a huge nest, missed getting a photo of it, when I saw mom and dad nearby. We were dealing with terrific thunderstorms, but the birds were completely dry and happy!
