Westward Ho!

Did I mention we're taking off for an Alaskan cruise tomorrow? I understand the ship has email, so possibly there will be a few posts from the Far North. I'm taking one copy of The Shadow Warriors along to donate to the ship's library. The vessel is the Ryndam, of the Holland America line. Maybe some nice pictures for the blog will be forthcoming. We haven't been someplace NEW for 4-5 years. Key West is the last new place I recall. Of course it's nice to return to old haunts, too. So much world, so little time and money.

In the meantime, I changed the ending of Festival Madness and need to get it down on paper before it leaves my head for two weeks. Another query off to an agent yesterday.

Sometimes one wonders if the efforts required to leave town are worth it. Usually, yes. So....
The garden looks wonderful. Rabbits now eating carnations. I see the fat little dickens hopping around out in the woods. Cute and bad. Baby chipmunks scurrying around, too. Ah nature.

I finished Carl Hiaasen's Skinny Dip and it was laugh out loud funny. What great characters, esp. Tool who (sorta) reforms himself. Hope this isn't considered "LitBlogging," she mused with a snide smirk.

More anon from Grapeshot of the Far North.
