Again this week, Atonement and Ken Follett's book are both on the Trade paperback and the Mass-Market paperback lists. Why haven't I seen this mentioned?
I finished Donald Maass' "Breakout Novel" book, which has so much great advice in it, and I even discovered what kind of book I am going to write. How cool is that?
The last cookie is gone, the decorations are as far as boxes on the living room floor, as are the extra blankets which need to return to the cedar closet. This Christmas business sure is a lot of work, and I am wondering how it did it when I worked 50 hours a week. There was always the suspense of would everything actually get done on time, which is the kind of suspense one can do without. Definitely.
We had fed the Scottish Highland Cattle bags and bags of fruit and vegetable scraps lately. The newest baby comes charging up to the fence with her (his?) mom, Maggie, just like she knows what's going on. Maggie is very relaxed and the calf seems quite independent by now. The weather has warmed up again.
Our guests had a gruelling day yesterday, with a 3 hour delay in Baltimore, and an arrival in Reno in a snowstorm, plus a trip to Gerlach through flooded Fernley. Who takes a trip can tell a tale, and usually it's not about wonderful food and great accommodations, althought this is possible once in a while.
How can it be that the delete key is no longer working? Always and forever more ways than one to skin a cat. Onward, although probably not upward.
