IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY

IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.... MARCH 19 2013....

Yes, I know it is cold.  I know it is windy.  But it IS NOT snowing, raining ice, or some such thing.  And so it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

So much going on.  Added a new great-granddaughter to the list just a few weeks ago in Maine, and now added a new great--grandson to the list today in West Virginia.  As of now the count stands at 8 for the greats.

Have the West Virginia trip pretty well mapped out, Nancy and I going out to dinner tonight and going over the itinerary.  Should be interesting.  Now all we have to do is coordinate enough days at the same time. 

My other projects are moving along quite nicely.  Have received 2 more acceptances into the art festivals.  I think all applications are in, am participating in the "waiting game" presently.

Hard to believe March is now on the down-hill slide.  Three months in to the new year.  Wow.  Where did the tine go?

Am planning on having our Easter dinner on Saturday, rather than on Easter Sunday.  I haven't figured out yet how to cook a  meal for approximately 15 people and attend Church at the same time.  So the day before will be our dinner.  Now have to decide on the menu.  Decisions, decisions. 

Getting antsy about outside work.  Need to clean off the flower beds so I can get fresh mulch ordered and spread.  Need to decide what annuals I will be buying this year for the terraced landscaping.  Last two years the petunias did not do well, so need a new game plan.

I just finished the newest Double Edge Press release KWELI - The Truth Unmasked by Joseph and Jane Matthews.  This is the sequel to Janjaweed, which was released a couple of years ago.

Once again when you begin you don't want to put it down.  You are drawn into the continuing saga of kidnapped children placed into slavery.  It is hard to believe such things are still occurring in this day and age.

You follow along as Travis, and his now wife, Karasa, set out on a journey to find her oldest son by her first marriage.  He is the one they could not reach when rescuing the children of the missionary couple. 

The twists and turns in the plot keep you guessing, and for that reason you don't want to stop reading.  I would highly recommend this book.  You can order directly through Double Edge Press, Scenery Hill Pa., on line for electronic books, or through Amazon.com. 

Well, time to make myself useful.  Have a good day and God Bless.
