Gay's Days September 3, 2014


Holidays bring a relief to my routine, but then my schedule is out of whack. When I dove into the bed last night, this thought hit me. "I don't have eFictionFinds ready." Sigh.

I usually look for books on Tuesday night and then put them into draft, but since Monday was Labor Day, I thought Tuesday was Monday and missed my normal schedule. A holiday throws me off. Does it work that way for you too?

Now you understand where Sarah, my little dyslexic angel, acquires her confusion.

Have you checked out eFictionFinds? It's a fantastic site where books are featured at bargain prices. Those of us who post (my day is Wednesday), search hundreds of books to find suggestions for you. These novels must have at least ten reviews and a rating between 4 and 5 stars on Amazon. The highest price you'll find for an eBook is $3.99

Here's the link. http://www.efictionfinds.com/  My post should be up in a bit.

Okay, now that I'm caught up, I'm planning to write about Sarah and the cruise she's taking to help her new charge, Carolyn Baker. A man has entered Carolyn's life, and Sarah doesn't know what to do about him. With the help of Gale of the Four Winds, maybe she'll blow him overboard. He's a rather big dude, and she'll need an extra amount of blustery speed.

Did I tell you one of the couples who inspired my novella, Sarah and the Internet Dating Service is my nephew and his wife? Our two daughters met wonderful men on the Internet also.  Here's a picture of James and Kim. They married several years ago and now have two adorable babies. James Heffington Jr pastors the Harwood Terrace Baptist Church in Bedford, Texas. If you live nearby, go hear him preach.  He's quite good.



Here's a picture of my book, Sarah and the Internet Dating Service.
 
 
 
Okay, must run. Ya'll have a good day.  Catch you tomorrow!

Gay's Days September 2, 2014

Tuesday.

Hello friends,

My day is more than half gone by this hour. Why haven't I accomplished more by now? I ask myself that question all the time. You too?

Men came today to repair a water leak in our front yard. Whew! I barely managed to rinse the shampoo from my hair and get out of the shower before they turned off the water. Can you imagine showing up at a neighbor's door with soap in your hair and asking to use their shower? Gross.

 
Our  front yard with neighbors and hubby watching the guys work.
Always more fun to watch than to do.
 
 
Now to write about Sarah. The new novella about her antics is coming along nicely. She made herself board the cruise ship. She's in a dither right now, and I'm about to see if I can help her get out of it.
 
 
Toodle Loo!
 
Stay tuned.

Gay's Days September 1, 2014.

Monday

A new month! Yay! September means another month of heat and then maybe we'll cool off a bit down here in Texas. What are you doing on this Labor Day?

We got home from Waco an hour ago. Whew! That was a whirlwind and fun trip. The new McLane Stadium in Baylor Bear stadium in Waco was a total sell out, and we were part of the historical day. Daughter #2, Christy, bought season tickets and included us and friend Karla as her guests. Nice, huh?


    
 
We crossed the bridge over the Brazos River to get there. During the game, we saw the "sailgaters." Baylor provides a place for tailgaters too. I'd like to see the game from the river.  Anyone want to invite us to your sailgate party?

The Baylor Line -- only freshman run onto the field.
 
 
 
Did I tell you it was a  scorching 97? But that's cool for Texas. At least we didn't have triple digits. A breeze was blowing, and the wind helped. I couldn't keep my straw hat on my head. The thing kept blowing off , but the seats were under the western covered section. I felt sorry for the Baylor Line. After entering the field, they were located on the eastern side.

We were in famous company. Former President George W. Bush and wife Laura were present. Since she is a graduate of SMU and his presidential library is there, no doubt they rooted for SMU.  Sorry President and Mrs. Bush. Your team lost the game.


 
At kick off we did "The Claw."
 
After that, we sang that "Good Old Baylor Line." I shed a few tears.

The final score: Bears 45 to SMU 0.

We spent the night in Waco and came back today.

The event made a super memory.
 
Thanks Christy for including us in a special day.
