Hello My Happy People,
It is finally those days when the weather is more often hot and sunny and there are loads of things to do around town. It's time for pool parties, cookouts, and summer vacations. In our town there are winefests, bookfests, and street foodfests. There is just about something for anyone if you look hard enough.
I am working so hard on finishing up the last bit of Into the West: Family Ties, working on Book Banter with Dianne Burckhardt (our guest authors are just amazing!), and trying to have time with the hubbie. It's hard to find a good balance some days
I still want to look into creating an online magazine but that is low on my priority list right now. I need to look into the programs I would need to have to make it look good and easy for anyone online to access so it will be a work in progress for a while yet.
It's a holiday here in Germany so the hubbie is home. So far today the hubbie and I have already walked to the hardware store around the corner and picked up a few things for the plants on the patio, I have a few veggies and herbs growing. Then after dropping off that stuff, we walked to the grocery, bought way more than I had on my list, stopped in the air-conditioned Starbucks for a cold drink then walked home. Not a bad morning.
I plan to spend the rest of the day writing after I get this blog done. I hope all of you are having a wonderful day and an even better weekend with lots of good weather and loved ones with which to enjoy it.
And now it's time for the jokes ...
Enjoy,
Dianne
