Night Intruder

 I always read about an hour before falling asleep each night.

Last night I settled into bed, got interested in my book, which by the way, is "Divine Justice" by David Baldacci.

And, then I heard it!

Heavy breathing......

This rhythmic breathing in, soft snore out sort of thing.

I live alone. 

I got up and walked into the living room. I didn't hear it there. 👀

Back to the bedroom. Same sound. So I eased around trying to pinpoint where it was coming from.

Now, this is silly. I have never been afraid in my apartment. Third floor up, not much chance of prowlers but I actually slid the shower curtain back to see if somehow someone had gotten in my apartment, crawled into my shower and fell asleep. I told you that was silly. 

I tiptoed around the end of the bed. It got louder. Finally when I put my ear up to my window did I discover what/who was snoring in my bedroom.

It was a doggone tree frog sitting in that 3 story tall crepe myrtle just outside my window. 

I wanted to strangle him!!!

How to Pull A Tooth?

I got in to see my dentist. He said that bothersome tooth had to come out. I told him that he sure was messing up my ability to chew on that side. 

But, it will have to come out. 

I am thinking..... do I have him pull it with just my jaw deadened? 

Or do I get put to sleep and just wake up with it gone? 

I've had it done both ways. 

How do you gals get your teeth pulled? 

I hope you don't have to but just in case you do... deadening or sleep? 

Help me out here. 

Memorial Day

                                                      Of all the nasty things to happen! 

I have a toothache and it's over a long weekend so I am popping tylenol and hoping I can keep it under control until I can call the dentist on Tuesday! 

It's Memorial Day Weekend and a time for us to remember those who lost their lives so that we can be free. So many wars, so many losses. I've lost count of how many wars that have happened in my lifetime. Far too many, I can tell you that. 

I posted chapter two of "Summertime In Magnolia" this morning, in case you are reading this sequel to Springtime In Magnolia. 

Disrespectful Attendees

 I was so looking forward to a concert held here in the courtyard yesterday afternoon. We had Billy Mitchell singing the oldies and it was really good. 

True we were all sitting around tables in the courtyard so it was a very informal affair. But, it was a concert and I got so disgusted at all the talking going on during the songs. To begin with I had two ladies talking non-stop on my right. After awhile a friend joined another friend on my left and they didn't stop talking. It was so distracting and so disrespectful to the performer. 

If we'd been in a concert hall, everybody would have been quiet... Guess the out-of-doors cut their tongues loose. 

I finally got up and left. My find my patience wears thin more quickly that it once did. Just don't have enough time left in my life to put up with crap. 

I guess I've griped enough. Got that off my chest!! 😅

Mountains In The Morning

I don't know why but it takes me days, and I mean DAYS, to get over a trip. 

Couldn't be my age!! 😁

It's been a slow go... I got home Thursday afternoon late. It took two days before I even touched the suitcase to unpack it. But, finally I got up the energy to get my hair cut today! Boy, did it need it!!!!

I took this picture on the way home. Posted it on facebook with the caption 'Mountains In the Morning' and commented that I thought it should be a country song.

                                         Well, guess what! it is.

                     

I do love the mountains. There's something so majestic about them. With the swipe of His hand, God placed them there for us to enjoy. 

Announcement - Sequel to "Springtime In Magnolia"

 

I have an announcement to make. 

I once wrote a novel, "Springtime In Magnolia"

Publication date for that novel was 2014.

People who had read my novel started asking me when the sequel was coming out.

                               Writing a book is no easy task. Publishing takes time and effort. 

 

Marketing it yourself is a nightmare. 

I had several chapters already written but I didn't want to go through all that bother to get it ready for sale.

And, then I came up with a plan.

Beginning Sunday May 23rd the sequel will be posted (for free) on blogspot.com

Each Sunday a new chapter will be posted HERE

So, if you have read "Springtime In Magnolia" and enjoyed it

The next book "Summertime in Magnolia" will be available to begin reading Sunday! Hope you enjoy it. 

If you would like to read the first novel it is available on Amazon.
