Wonderful Wordy Wednesday

-

Hello September, Hello Fall. Although by the weather you wouldn't think of fall. Very warm, very humid, no crisp days of coolness right now. I don't envy the kids who are back in school, dragging themselves through the day with hot temperatures. Wishing they could be outside, not inside. 

That time of year to get out an get a library card, although I am sure those of you who read this blog all have a library card. I have probably had a library card since I was six years old, so over 90 percent of my lifetime. 

 


 

 


Eaves of Destruction - Lighthouse Cove is having their annual Victoria Home and Garden Tour. Everyone wants to win so Shannon is in demand to get work done. She ends up with a rather bossy client who wants everything done yesterday. To keep up with demand Shannon hires a new carpenter, she does great work, but may have a connection with the client. The wrench in all of this is a building inspector who is into things he shouldn't be and ends up dead. 

The Sorbonne Affair - the next Hugo Marston book. Hugo is called in when an American author in Paris to run seminars on writing, finds a hidden camera in her hotel room. Then a hotel staff person is murdered, and one of the author's students is also murdered. Hugo is also attacked but he manages to survive and figure it all out. 

The Last Second  - A fast paced book in the Brit in the FBI series. A former NASA astronaut is out to prove that aliens do exist, they talk to her, she and they will take over the world and while she is at it blow up the world. This is the last installment of the series, bummer, I like this series. Last book was published in 2019 and I did find a note on one of the author's web pages that this was the last book.  






 Happy Reading.

    Agreed, I'd have enjoyed more of the Brit in the FBI series.
    Tana French has a series about a retired American cop who moves to a small village in Ireland, and there is some fun about the back-and-forth of cultures, but it's not as high-energy.

    When you want to read and your family just won't pipe down, I think I have that look every day.

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...
