Don’t try this at home! LOL Seriously though, I tried to fry an egg last week. Let’s just say after 5 bottles of water, the egg that slid down my driveway was washed away. It has to be way hotter than 101 to try frying an egg on cement. Someone suggested I do it on my car…well, that wasn’t going to happen. My 2007 has been through enough during its long life of service. It has many more miles ahead of it to be disrespected by frying an egg on it.
BTW, when I told my mom about it, she laughed, and it was the best sound I’d heard from her for several weeks. Praise the Lord.
It actually rained here Sunday morning and in the early morning hours today. It was nice the ground got a drink from Mother Nature. There’s more in the forecast but who knows for sure. The temps are going to be in the 90s, and although there were a few days this past week where I would turn off the a/c until it got too humid in the house, I don’t think I’ll be doing that again for a while.
A quick note about my mom: she is doing so much better. Thank you for your prayers.
I know I haven’t mentioned the book club I belong to, Chapter Chat, for a few months. To be honest, I haven’t been able to get into reading lately. This month, the theme is the “David Bowie Reading Challenge.” David Bowie had a list of his favorite 100 books. I was surprised to see titles such as A Clockwork Orange, The Great Gatsby, 1984, and several others on this list. I’ve chosen a few to hopefully be able to get into: 1984, Lady Chatterly’s Lover, and Madame Bovary. The latter is on PlutoTV, so I may cheat and watch it if I can’t get into the story. Stay tuned!
Now for working on Deceitful Promises. I am re-reading what I’ve written so far before writing the last couple of chapters. And it’s good that I am, because I discovered my hero needed a bit of attention, and a surprise storyline needed to be incorporated into it from the beginning. Oh, the things my characters always come up with that I must go back and write in. But I love it when my characters spring a surprise or two on me; it means they trust me with their stories!
Have a great week! Love, laugh, and love like it’s your last time with those you love. And remember to hydrate before spending time in the heat.
I can never thank you enough for continuing to read these snippets into my life as an author. I hope I haven’t bored you too much with them. 😊 After all, other people's lives are never as glamorous as we may think.
May your ereader or bookshelf overflow with great
books to read!
