Monday Ramblings
It’s Monday and I have this one and another Monday left before my summer
break begins. I love working at a school, but working at one is intense and I need
a break.

My granddaughter told me the other day, as she was hugging the stuffing
out of me, that I smelled like a flower. I told her she looked like a beautiful
flower.

Interesting People post and it was with Hart Johnson. Thanks to everyone for

her.

You may remember, I’m editing my A-Z posts with the hopes I can make it
into an eBook. Some of the changes I’ve made and things I've learned:
1. Some
stories are now longer.
2. I
didn’t like one of them The Good Bargain
and wrote a new one. I like it much better.
3. The Wedding of Mrs. Fox, to be
continued, now has an ending.
4. I’ve
added a bonus story called The Duration
of Life. Staying true to my theme of using a Brothers Grimm title I chose
this one. Then I dug out the tarantula story that I entered in some contest
added a beginning and changed the ending and BAM a new story. Sort of new.

The Ruralhood
|
Did you know that I have another blog? Have you ever
wondered what I do over there? It’s not too sinister. I write memories from my
childhood and eventually I’ll write some from adulthood, keeping my rural roots
in mind. Along the way, I’m learning from
those memories about who I am and how I got here-- in this place. It’s interesting.
The newest post, at The Ruralhood, is about a drive-in movie
theater of my youth and not just any drive-in, but a unique one called the
Autoscope. If you like movies, drive-ins, or people talking about the 70’s and
you have a minute, go visit The
Ruralhood.
Do you have more
than one blog? Why? Do you have any child cuteness to report? Have you taken
your vacation yet?

On Friday I baby-sat my 7-year-old nephew, who is my sister's son. And it seemed like every time I did something or said something in a certain way, he would shake his head and say, "You do that just like my mom. It's so weird." Or, "You make the same faces as my mom. Weird weird weird." Haha, it was so funny. My sister and I do look a lot alike especially when we're together, and I guess it does freak people out sometimes!
Woohoo for summer!!!
No kid-cuteness to report since I don't have grands, but I always have furbaby-cuteness to talk about! Does that count? :D
And as to vacations, we haven't had ours yet. Hope to go out west again this fall. Unless we change our plans...the Smoky Mountains are calling my name!
Your first interview with Hart was fascinating ..
Great you've achieved some mini edits to your ebook .. I'll enjoy that ..
Then a holiday - great news .. and yes I know of the Ruralhood .. how you do two blogs I'll never know ..
Cheers Hilary
Only one blog, and I can barely keep up with that one. But I love it!
Good going on your Grimm book! I'm glad Mrs. Fox has an ending :)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting. It's great to meet you!
Have a wonderful week,
Karen
I love the idea of you putting your A-Z stories into a book! Awesome :)
I only have one blog...it's all I can manage.
And vacation...ah, taking one next week. :)
And I used to have more than one blog, but I just couldn't keep it up!
I've got lots of grandchildren cuteness to talk about but it would take too long here. I miss them so much since they are in NJ and I'm here in CA. That's not right.
Decision made tonight. I didn't think we were doing a vacation this year, but now my wife has decided she wants to drive to Houston to see her daughter and then to Orlando to see her aunt and uncle. Over 3000 miles round trip, but we've got the time to do it as long as she's got the money.
