Four months from today is … Christmas Eve. I love Christmas, especially the lights and the music and the movies. But I’m NOT ready to start thinking about it yet! Presents get tougher every year.
I finished reading through all 58 Flash Fiction stories for the first read. Tomorrow I’ll start reading again and giving them scores. I have some favorites that I was impressed with, but the rest will be tricky to judge. We have until mid-September but I need to get them done. Liz’s new book that she asked me to be a Beta reader for is coming my way just about that time, too!
Today was a typical cleaning day, and that’s basically what I got done. I had to run down and do some notary work for Mike P, then stop at the bank. I came home and had the last two ears of corn on the cob. I decided NOT to do chocolate covered PB pretzels, as I didn’t have very much chocolate to melt down. So I took the broken pieces of my bag of Utz pretzels and did them. They are SO good. I think I like them better than the PB ones! I hope to grab more chocolate this weekend if the Amish bulk store is open.
I was heading outside to shake rugs when I spied a little chippy playing on the deck. I stood and watched for a bit. He was jumping up and down from one level to the next. He lives under the deck box, I think. Or is it a she? I don’t know how to tell.
I still have towels to fold and put away then I’m done with today.
August 24 – Did you have to abide by a curfew as a youth? “Yes, and we didn’t always make it back in time. Most of us didn’t have a watch. Our curfew was 10pm on Friday & Saturday night. 9pm on all other nights, if we were allowed to go any place.”
Calendar inspiration – An opportunity will present itself -recognize it and more forward with confidence.

I love second hand clothes! I don’t think I’m mad at anyone that I’d have to kiss and make up with. And four months from tomorrow is…. God bless!!!
