Mini-golf! Now, that's my game. No I'm not any good at it, but I do enjoy maneuvering that little ball around all those cute obstacles. :) This was a family outing including the grans! Yep, I came in last (even after the seven year old-lol)
Obviously I haven't been out nearly enough. A simple trip to the bowling alley was an eye-opener. The last time I went bowling-umpteen years ago- we used the paper/pencil scorekeeping method. Apparently, bowling now has entered the new age era of technology. So instead of practicing my game, I had to learn how to use the computerized version of score keeping. Luckly, I finally mastered it and we were able to carry on with our game- after wasting 15 minutes of the slotted hour learning how to enter names into the scoreboard. LOL. We had a blast anyway!
I found this pic from my trip to Folsum, Ms. It is sooo cool. This is two dinosaur head fossils. Cool! Though I'd hate to meet up with one of these guys!
The other pic is a dinosaur footprint (fossil). Also cool.
Have I mentioned how much I LOVE to travel?
This year we decided to take a few "mini-getaways". It's amazing how many offbeat places you can find within a few hours from home. This was one of my favorites. The Petrified Forrest in Flora, Mississippi. It's the only petrified forrest East of the Mississippi River. We also went to Tunica, Missippi and rode the Tunica Queen Riverboat. It was amazing!
We are hoping to get one more trip in before school starts. Maybe Memphis, Tn.

Some days you just have to get away and relax! Paragon Casino is one of our favorite places to go. We love the indoor lagoon and other amenities. Just look how inviting the lagoon is! Then, of course, there's the gators. Right smack in the middle of the atrium. You can see them from your indoor balcony or by strolling through the man-made bayou in the middle of the atrium. It' s such a hoot!
Home is Where the Heart is will be out later this year (I hope). I'm still waiting on a release date from Red Rose Publishing. I do love the cover on this book. I think the art department did an awesome job!
Seducing the Night will be released October 28, 2009 from The Wild Rose press. Since it's a vampire story I think releasing it right before Halloween is fantastic. Alexandru is such a delicous hero. I enjoyed writing this story. I hope you like it.
I realize I have totally shirked my blogging this year. It's been a crazy time and honestly I just haven't had the time, so now I'm going to play catch up. :)
Summer is almost over and the new school year is about to kick off. My son will be attending a new school this year so he's very excited. Last year, he recieved two achievement awards (Principal's List for all A's and The School's Top Reader). I am very proud of him. I hope he does as well this year. And, of course, I'm tickled pink over the Top Reader Award. :)
