Late in the day

I know it's late in the day but I have a good reason - had to run out the door early in the morning to attend of the funeral for a friend of mine's mother.  The funeral then the cemetery and then back to the family home.  It was an all day event. 

The service was lovely and I must admit my favorite part was the eulogy. It was delivered - rather humorously- by the 'senior' son in law. The deceased had six daughters and no sons. I found myself hoping that when my time comes, my son in law thinks of me as fondly and lovingly as this man did his mother in law. 

As for book progress, Just One Take is now fully outlined. All I have to do is fill in the words for 18 or so chapters LOL.  Unfortunately, still no date for release, though we're tossing around the possibility of an earlier release on my website - would anyone be interested in that? 

The cabinets in my kitchen are coming along - all except two have been delivered (remember this is a few at a time effort) and all have been primed waiting for a final coat of paint. As soon as they're installed, I will post a photo. 

Yesterday I took my visiting niece to the Fort Worth Stockyards - wonderful way to spend the day.  I kept forgetting to take photos - but here's one from the Rodeo last night.  Even though my favorite is the barrel racing, this guy was extremely entertaining with his horse and rope!  Have you ever been to a rodeo? 

Next week I will be typing from Sunny Florida's gulf coast.  I will be spending a couple of days decompressing from all the stress here in the real world for a few days before attending the Novelist Ink conference.  Then it will be back home, back to the kitchen, back to my books, and heaven knows what else LOL. 

I have more to say, but I'm ready to drop where I type! LOL.  Catch y'all next week!
