Boa

Hello Bloggers,
As I was trying to fall asleep last night, I was also trying to think about my next book and where I am going with it. As with the first one, THE HAT PIN MURDERS,I had a difficult time wrapping my mind around the mind of the murderer. So I went with the really bad guys, the Mifia. I can't go that way again, so I thought perhaps I'd check out how to make a pipe bomb on the internet, how about putting a pipe bomb in a hat box and call the book THE HAT BOX MURDER. But then I'd have to call in the bomb squad and on and on. But, as I was brain storming in my twilight sleep minutes, I thought about the boa that all of us Red Hat ladies love to wear. So I decided as I drifted off to sleep that I'd put a boa in a hat box, and it may not be all feathers.
Back to real life: I'll be having hip replacement surgery on Monday, July 11. I hope that after I recover from the drugs I'll have some time to write, or atleast enjoy some summer sun, finally! I've been making casseroles and putting them into the freezer so George will have something to eat while I'm laid up, as George does not cook.
I will have a booth at Cheney Jublee in Cheney, WA Saturday, July 9th and Sunday July 10th. I'll be signing my book, THE HAT PIN MURDERS. I hope to see some of you there. Come and enter to win a gift bag which will have one of my books in it as well as some other goodies, like chocolate! All the fun of the week end will keep my mind off the surgery the very next morning. HaHa

Summer has arrived in Cheney, finally!

Summer finally arrived in Cheney, WA. Yes, we thought it would never come but at
1 p.m. it is 86 degrees. Happy summer days, my granddaughters are pulling weeds out of my strawberry patch and of course their reward will be that they can harvest the barry's. yum!

Last Saturday I had a booth at Founders Day in Medical Lake. Since the day before had been nice and warm I expected another warm day and only wore a light jacket. There was a wonderful croud that came out to watch the parade and the 3 on 3 basket ball games. By noon it was really cold and by 2 p.m. it was pouring rain. My son and daughter in law came to my rescue and took my gazabo down and loaded up my stuff. I climbed into the truck and said "turn up the heater". All in all it was a great day, I signed and sold 5 of my books, THE HAT PIN MURDERS. I met some really nice people and saw a few old friends that I hadn't seen in a long time. If only I had thought to wear my parka and Uggs. Now that is all behind me and I'm nice and warm I've been encouraged to do some writing. I'm working on my next Red Hat Mystery.

My next adventure is to have my right hip replaced. I will see my doctor tomorrow for my pre-op appointment. Then will schedule the surgery. I should have plenty of time to work on my novel while I'm recovering. Sounds like fun, huh?
