Sorry to do this to you again, but I'm on vacation and don't have a story for you today. I thought perhaps I'd have time to get one ready or something, but that hasn't happened as you can tell.
Camp NaNo ended on Tuesday and since then I haven't written. At all. Well, except in my journal and emails. No story writing though. Since we left for my grandparents' on Wednesday and we'll be home on Saturday afternoon, I figured I'd just take the rest of the week off of writing. But I'm eager to get back to "By Paths Unknown" and get it finished.
What have I been doing on vacation?
My sister and I have been walking everyday, which has been nice.
My mom, Sis and I cleaned Grandma's back porch. It's the kind of covered porch with large screen windows and a carpet. Perfect for eating meals on during the warmer months, or sitting out there and reading. Anyway, the screens needed cleaned, the windows washed, and we even decided to rent a carpet cleaner. (The carpet hadn't been cleaned since it was put in 20 years ago.) After running the cleaner about 5 times, the color changed from grayish-blue, to blue. So we called it good. I'm sure we only got about 5-10 years of dirt up. :) This took most of yesterday.
Today should be a quiet day. Maybe I'll get a few of the other things I need to work on done. Or at least worked on. ;)
We head home tomorrow so we can get things ready for Sunday. We have a fellowship meal and a baby shower after church.
So that's all folks. Thanks for stopping by.
What have you been doing this week?
Have you ever run a carpet cleaner?
Do you like eating on a covered, screened back porch?

Hope you've been having a great time! We miss you in the cabin:)
So, I've not been doing any writing either. I have never run a carpet cleaner, but probably should! I dream of having a covered back porch - maybe one day;)
Hi, Amy!
Yeah, I miss being in the cabin more. Hopefully we can get some writing in before it closes. :)
I actually have run a carpet cleaner!! (And once we sold one at a yard sale for $20 XD) I can’t wait to read By Paths Unknown. (I’m also dying for Hymns in the Hills’ release!!)
I finished reading the Graham Quartet books and Gift From the Storm—I figured out the plane crash before they did, but the Graham mysteries had me stumped!! How did you learn so much about spying and intel?
I'm trying to get a release date for "HitH" figured out. As soon as I do I'll be sending out an email asking for blog tour participants. :)
How did I learn so much? Reading real books, and research. ;) The 2nd Graham Quartet book is loosely based on a real FBI encounter that happened after WWII. I can tell you more via email if you want to know. Oh, and my mom wants me to write another GQ book, so . . . Be praying for ideas. ;)
Oh, I’d so love to know! That’s super interesting! I’ll definitely be praying...those were such fun books. ;)
