The Fog Has Lifted and The Rain Has Come

Well, I finally figured out the exact combination of dashes and dots and lack of apostrophes, so I can get on this silly blog without having to go around the barn to do it. So the Fog Has Lifted.

And this morning when I let the UNHOUSETRAINEDAT TWOYEARS French Bulldog out, the deck was WET!!!!!! Hardly knew how to diagnose this latest experience....it's been so long since we've had liquid from the sky. And more due for a couple of days. GALRC picnic in Newnan was cancelled because of this unique experience.

I'm working my way like molasses in snow toward getting all the info together for taxes. I HATE THIS S....er, stuff, that is. Also gradually making progress in the closet category.

But I'm having most fun on my new Kindle. Have gotten a bunch of mystery/intrigue novels and am reading upon rising each morning. Trying to cut calories and read instead. My stomach has not exactly taken to this new regime but it's slowly acknowledging the change.

Joseph is doing so well that he's taking Boogie for long walks to give her lead experience. Seems yesterday she took exception to a fire hydrant and then she discovered the gorgeous HORSE! Imagine her surprise when the first one wouldn't move and the second one did. She's going to be okay, and still even though she's a "teenager" is the spitting image of her mother in a much more exuberant package.

Okay, time for my morning coffee and reading period. A REALLY great mystery about a Boston policeman who gets "drafted" at the beginning of the USA's entrance to WWII. He is assigned to his uncle's office (General Dwight D. Eisenhower, for heaven's sake) and gets involved with a murder having to do with espionage and the re-entry of the Norwegian underground as they try to take their country back from the Nazi's....all from exile in England. Needless to say, there's a spy in the works and this guy has to figure out who it is and do something about it. Very well written with humor and swift movement. Called BILLY BOYLE: A WORLD WAR II MYSTERY, free on Kindle.

I got some free and less expensive books to start out with just to see if I like this new method. I DO! It takes some getting used to, but basically, it's a boon of a way to read and take with you. I always have it in my bag and when things come to a wait/halt, there's that option to turn to and be patient....doc's offices, etc., etc. It's less expensive now than it started out to be, and I figure I've probably bought six of them counting all the paperbacks and hard covers I've invested in during the last few years. And this way I don't have to worry about what to do with them when I've finished. I can share these with other Kindle readers or just delete. What a concept. Now what to do with all these in two stacks that are taller than I am next to my bed.....don't want to box them up and take them with when I move. To the library they go!

Ciao for now, MsP
