We were supposed to get strong thunderstorms in the night. If we did, I slept through them. Yay!
Didn’t get very far on the story but took the grands swimming in the pool. Two monster probably 16 year olds were in there and one was saying to the grands across the pool, “Dude, there’s no Santa Claus. No Easter Bunny either.” What’s wrong with kids? It was just plain mean.
Luckily, my grandkids didn’t hear them, we ignored them, and I continued to be grandma shark, chasing the grands to their safe spot on the stairs and having a blast.
Well, I’m off to work on the story just a little bit.
Have a bully free day.

Another gorgeous sunset on the lake in New Hampshire–the cloud was so close I felt I could touch it!
We’re supposed to get rain most of the day from the storm in the Gulf, so no swimming today. So it’s all indoor activities for the grandkids and me. It might cool us down a bit and we do need the rain.
I made it to 81K on Wolf Bound. Getting closer to the end!!!
Have a terrific day!

It’s hard for me to take sunset pictures around home because we have so many trees and houses, but on a lake, perfect for reflection. It was so nice and cool, unlike being home where it feels like 103 again. And though there are bugs, they were no mosquitoes at the time, no fire ants, so totally perfect for outdoor cooking and eating. We paddled a canoe across the lake a few times. They had kayaks that my daughter took out, fished (caught and released), hiked 5-6 miles a day, including a Winnie the Pooh hike, played miniature golf with the little ones at the Pirate Cove, and of course I was having a ball taking pictures of all the flowers everywhere. And sunsets. I managed a sunrise on the last morning there yesterday. I was always awake by 4:30–no blackout curtains on the windows, but I just didn’t want to disturb anyone else by going out and trying to take photos. But I HAD to the last day. I didn’t wake anyone.
We’re home and we had so much fun there, but it’s nice to be home. My granddaughter stayed over and we filled up the water fountain, found a couple of birdhouses down, so had storms while we were away. We went to the grocery store this morning and then I was picking tomatoes from the garden and taking pictures of MY flowers. 🙂 And pulling weeds. I need to pick up the dogs in about 4 hours after they’re washed and trimmed.
We’re supposed to get storms all next week so I got the kids some $1.50 books to read and a couple of activity books. We probably won’t be going to the pool, but weather predictions change all the time.
I’m off to write. I managed to get 3,000 words on the 5 1/2 hours of plane ride and the book is up to 78K. Yay!
Have a terrific day. And if you’re a father, happy Father’s Day!!!

Out in the country in Central Texas, the skies are huge and storm clouds and sunsets can truly be dramatic. With houses and trees blocking the sky here, it’s hard to get a vista like this.
It’s chilly this morning. Love it! It’s supposed to get to 95. So I need to get out and enjoy this while I can.
But I’m also off to write. We’re celebrating birthdays today, did preschool graduation last night, so busy, busy. Need to write!
These are different Oscraps challenges just to play around with. And they’re fun when I need a break from writing and life.
I need only 9,000 more words for You Had Me at Cougar to get my minimum word count. Yay!
So today we’re back to me taking care of little one two days a week and picking her up after school. I managed to actually get 4,000 words on Saturday, and then just a 1,000 yesterday.
I was out photographing the beautiful sunset the other day and my neighbor’s redheaded granddaughter was out with her dad so I took pictures of her so I can turn it into a fantasy picture for them.
I’m working on photos I took of the family to give to them. And then it’s back to the book. Well, and little one will be here. I’ve been losing on average 2 lbs a week also, so I’m really happy about that! I’m at my first goal, working on my next. 🙂
We’ve had boring skies at sunset–just plain old blue skies turning to dark. But clouds give it character. The storms didn’t even leave any rain, just a lot of grumbling, but I loved it.
I saw the beginning of a sunset the other day and I realized I hadn’t taken a picture of one in a while. But it was too hard to see for the trees and houses, and so I didn’t think anything more of it. But then I saw this on New Year’s Eve when I was taking all the dogs out for another potty break. Now this was worth taking pictures of. A sunset in all its glory! We had storms all day yesterday and we’re supposed to have them all day today, so no beautiful sunsets probably.
I’m nearly done with Claiming the White Bear. It’s a year in the making, though I still need to write a couple of more scenes. I think that’s it, but I’ll have to make sure. The dogs are still here through tomorrow night. And I hope to have the book done by this weekend. And then? I’m off to work on the wolves in Silver Town!
Have a beautiful sunrise kind of day. I won’t be having that either as rainy as it’s been! But if I finish this book soon, it will be like a symphony of sunsets and sunrises all in one.
