Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

Happy Heavenly birthday to my mother, you have been gone longer that I had you with me! 

Life is quiet for the most part. Although this past weekend there were two incidents, one a road rage issue, the other a son driving a car over this father. Both of these happened within a half mile from where I live! Sheesh, things around here are usually so quiet in my neighborhood. From what I understand none of these people lived around here. No one is in custody at this time either. 

Wonderful summer weather, at least for me. Warm enough, not humid, a few rain showers. I don't do heat!. 

Hockey and basketball seasons are finally done. Baseball is in full gear and I am not into the FIFA thing.  


Crowned and Moldering - third installment of the Fixer-Upper mysteries. Shannon starts working on restoring the old lighthouse mansion. They find a stuck dumb waiter, when they get it unstuck they find skeletal human remains. Who is it and how did they die?

The Blood Promise - a Hugo Marston mystery. Hugo is tasked with baby sitting an US Senator who is in France to attend negotiations. A senator who has expressed dislike for non-US people. He claims his room was entered at the chateau where the talks were happening, but what was the evidence. Plus he goes missing for a few days. A couple of deaths that also seem to be liked to the talks. 

Through the Evil Days - Clare and Russ are called to an arson investigation, in which they find two bodies, both shot in the head. Missing is a child the couple was fostering. In the dead of winter they try to take their honeymoon, but things are happening around them they can't control. I personally liked this series better in the early books. Some of the recent plots are a bit stretched to me.

The Women with Silver Wings - the story of the women who stepped up and volunteered to fly planes around the United States during World War II. Their love of flying, their training and duties during the war. Plus the time after the war for which they continued to fight for recognition not as civilians but veterans. Which took more than 30 years after the war ended. 

 





 Happy Reading.

    I don't stay up all night, but I certainly up much later than I should very frequently!

    Happy Heavenly Birthday to your mother.
    I haven't read any of these authors, but the Fixer-Upper Mystery reminded me of a series that I liked: Haunted Home Renovation series by Juliet Blackwell.
    The audiobook narrator is Xe Sands, who is fantastic, and I'll listen to an audiobook with her narration anytime.

It is Friday and in the liturgical calendar it is Good Friday. The Friday before Easter Sunday. Growing up this always meant church service in the afternoon, usually a long service with communion.  Dobby is doing well, I can't believe how quickly he has settled in and how comfortable he seems to be from his first days here. He will see the vet next week, so we will see what she says about him.  Doing his loaf impression on the bed.  Neon Lights from Big Twist. Nice bright primary colors.     This is actually my closet at the end of March. It is rather empty at the moment but I want to wait to buy when the company has a promo where they have a special on shipping for a set price for the entire order. Otherwise the cost of shipping is 10 percent of the value of the order and I plan to buy lots of yarn. I want to finish using the final three yarns on the right side.  Happy Weekend.  Happy Easter.

I am bummed, less than two weeks into this new blog and I get a comment that I had to delete. On the old blog I had comment moderation set up so that nothing showed until I had reviewed it. I was hoping with a new blog that I might have some time before that happened. Guess not. For now I will leave moderation off, but may need to put it back on.  Added 4/10/26 8 AM - Comment moderation is back on. I got six comments all from the same place. I did report them to Blogger, their ID said they had only been on Blogger since last month.   I am bummed as I seemed to have lost a few readers with the move. Even though I published the new link. Miss you guys! Dobby and I are at an impass of sorts. While he made himself scarce the day of his vet visit I figured I should see how well he would go into the carrier. NOT WELL! I tried twice and he spent a good deal of time in the basement hiding. We seem to be rebonding and I have to get him to accept the carrier, even if it is with bri...

It has been a long week. Severe weather with thunderstorms and a nearby tornado. Over 5 inches of rain this week alone and overall this month double what we would normally get for the entire month. One fatality, he was struck by lightning on Wednesday night.  The guy was walking in a parking lot to his truck. Thankfully no damage here and also to none of my friends. Lots of flooding, especially streets.  Amazing to watch all the stupid drivers who drive through flooded streets. Then are dumbfounded when their car dies on them. Thousands of dollars in damage to get the car engine working and the car cleaned out too.  Still working on crochet projects for the time being. This one is Happy Rainbow yarn from Big Twist, bright pastel colors. Would make a great baby or kid blanket.  Dobby is doing well, he did not freak out with the storms this week. Also he branched out and didn't sleep on my bed a couple of nights. Maybe he did sleep there but just wasn't there when I wo...
