Just Lazing Away Today

This has been a really great day. I got up late, (around 10) which is way late for me, I let my chihuahua out for a few minutes, got on my walking shoes, let her back inside, then I walked for one mile, 23 minutes, on my treadmill. I feel okay after a walk. Otherwise I get short winded. I am not taking my diet seriously though, because I am not losing any weight. I really should get serious about my weight because I need to get my heart in a healthier state. I have weighed the same now for over eight months, give or take a pound or two.

It was a lovely day. I relaxed by watching a Lifetime movie.  Then hubby and I went to town for a while. Came home and fixed some hamburger stew. It was sooo yummy. Now I  am writing on my blog but I need to have my nails done as they are too long and I keep making typos.

The dishes are don and dried and put away. It is dark outside and I think my hubby and I will finish our game of Canasta we have going. We usually play cards four to five nights a week by ourselves and two nights a week with our son and his wife. I love it!

Ok I am going to go outside and look for my kitty. She goes away but comes home every week or so. Yes the last time she went away she was gone for three weeks. She is fixed so I don't know why she wanders.

NO MORE PUTTING IT OFF FOR SURE THIS TIME

I have decided today is the day to begin writing my story I started over twelve years ago and to make enough headway on it that I should be able to finish it in a few weeks. My son wrote and published a book recently and it is selling steadily. My brother wrote two books and have them published so I believe writing is in the blood. My blood anyway. I think the problem is that I want to write about what happened to my son's dog but as I wasn't there during the event, I have been reluctant to go on with the story. I am going to write it and fill in the parts with fiction. So it will be a story based on actual events. I pray it will be a real blessing to animal lovers everywhere. I wrote a story for a magazine a few years ago regarding this particular dog. It is on pawfrienly.com. A story about Prince Duke and his "kids" 

I pray for good results and no obstacles to hinder my progress. I shall keep all my blog readers posted with updates on the story as I start my journey. 

Here I go.

ENID & JASON

My baby girl is getting married this Friday, July 15, 2016. We are so thrilled. The weather has been beautiful until yesterday. Hopefully it will be sunny on Friday. We are almost all set except for the last minute things. Enid is so excited and is doing nearly everything herself. She actually enjoys doing this type of thing but it might get a little stressful for her this close to the wedding.

The wedding was a beautiful success. It was outside overlooking the Smith River. The wedding party were so beautiful/handsome in their camo attire. The guests were mostly family. The wedding party was mostly family too. 

After the wedding, the couple spent the night there, then went on a honeymoon to Yellowstone National Park. They traveled through several states along the way. Enid got to visit with her
BFF that she hadn't seen for three+ years. 

Things have settled down now and things are getting back to normal around here. I will try to post a couple of pictures of the wedding on here. 

Ok, no wedding pictures yet. I need to figure how to do it. I am going to get away from here for now and start working on my story. It shouldn't take too long. After all, I've only had about 12 years to decide what to write.

No More Putting It Off

Today is July 2, 2016. I've decided to take up my writing again. I have a lot of time on my hands and my husband is encouraging me to finish the book I started about twelve years ago. At the time, a movie company was interested in taking a look at the finished product. I don't know why I quit then, but I have felt a gentle urge from within to get started on it once again.
I have a brother and a son who are both published authors. I, too, have an article published online but it is under a pen name and not my own name. 
I am encouraged by how easily my son was able to get his book published. He will help me with mine as soon as I write it. There's no time like the present time. I'm praying for God's guidance and help with this writing project and I know He will bless my effort to complete it since He is the one nudging me with His sweet spirit.
