Editor

Met with my editor today.  Wow, do I have a lot of work ahead of me.  I wish I would have done this long ago.   She didn't hold back, I hope, and I am glad because it helps to hear someone elses take on my work.

So in the end I need another couple of characters and a whole lot more conflict!  Fabulous! I walked away with an idea in mind and on the drive home had a good solid lead on how to pull it off. 

Put in a call to my best buddy all though school who still lives in the area and she helped me remember the name of the spot where the "accident" is bound to occur!  Overall it was a very productive meeting and I am actually excited about getting back into the editing! 

The ever better news is next thursday I will be able to get to my book group and get a little much needed support! 
Here I come Dead Bunny Club!

Heavens to Betsy!

It has been forever since I have blogged and I am far far far behind.  Today I am getting myself back on the band wagon!  It has been an exauhsting Month but with only 3 days left to work I am coming out of the fog.  Here is a little something we did tonight.  Thanks to the many years of speech my husband may not have good speech but he is an amazing bubble blower.  I would put him up against anyone and guaranteed he would blow the competition away!

Apples

Now if you know me at all, you know I am an apple finatic. Never do we not have apples in the house, in some form or another. I eat at LEAST one a day and it's not out of the question to eat up to three. Here is what you create when you love something and little eyes are watching.

We love our Washington Apples!

Washingtonian's

Well the weather was beautiful today.  Sunny, hot, even ice cream worthy.  Making dinner the kids played in the yard and then after dinner they ran back out to get a few more minutes of time outside. 

Then the rain started.

Like a good Washington Mom I ran out to get the toys that can't take the rain.

Like good Washington kids they stayed outside to dance and watch the drops hit the ground.

And agian like a good Washington mom... I let them.

Book covers :)  My mom got one of these for the smaller sized paperback so I thought she needed one for the larger sized ones.
One for me and one for my mom guess which is which :)

Super easy! All stash material.

Mother's Day!

We celebrated today because David has to work tommorrow!

Super day!

My mom came to visit. David's is still in Michigan.

We went out to eat at a yummy Mexican place and chatted, got coffee at Pete's and went to see "The Last Song." Just finished the book so fun to compare them.  I can't remember the last time I have just spent time alone with her.  Was really a treat.  Loads of fun to have an uninterupted conversation.  HEAVEN!

David took the kids here

Then I came home and he gifted me one of these!!!!

Sorry about the glare!  I am waiting for the bugger to charge so I can play with it!!!

Day 4 without

David is in Michigan with family and ohh how we miss him.  I am thankful that he had the opportunity to go but man is there a big empty space without him.
