Taking a step up

[aearwen2]

Well, that writer's group isn't on YaHell - and it is an absolutely delightful group of people who know what the heck they're about. I have a serious notion that I'm going to be learning a lot about the art of writing now, and that when I look back at these first offerings, I'm gonna be wishing I could hide my head.

Life-wise, everything is SOS-DD. We made it through an absolutely scorcer of a heat-wave - spent 4 days in treble digits when we normally don't get much hotter than 75 Farenheit. Our fog is back, which is the reason why we're back to our lovely weather-wimpy temps. I just about died, my hubby was miserable, and even my cat wasn't speaking to anybody. This part of the country should NEVER get that hot!!!

Youngest boy & his fiancee have moved back their wedding date (yet again) to February, but the plans they're putting together now are far more reasonable and realistic. Puppy with broken front leg managed to pull her cast off - ended up costing them another hefty vet bill to get it put back on again. Not certain if leg broke again or not, and haven't had the brains to remember to ask when they're about.

Having summers that are neither overly damp nor hotter than Hades is half the reason why it would take about five sticks of dynamite to blast me outta this place. Besides, when I talk to Rain and tell her my poinsettia outside has "only" reached four feet high, hearing her say "I hate you!" makes me chuckle.

Just wish I could share all the lemons that are gonna have to get chucked when Lee finally trims away the 1/2 lemon tree that fell in the winter windstorms. They're almost sweet enough to eat off the tree, and big enough that one of them makes enough for a lemon meringue (sp). I shipped a few to Bruce Barker once (remember him?) - they were bigger than most grapefruit in the stores...

God, I'd forgotten all about Bruce Barker! Talk about a blast from the past :D
