How’s your week been?! Mine’s been all right. First crazy busy week of summer! That means I spent A LOT of time at the pool! There are worse things, of course ;). Today, I’ve been working on the paperback copies of Along Came a Prince (with More Than a Princess next on my list). Sadly, it seems I may have either not purchased/downloaded two of the pics I need or not saved them in a place I can find them. I’ve gotten a new laptop since then and everything was backed up (and the other laptop still sort of works), so /fingers crossed and prayers whispered/ I can find them!
I’ve also been working on trying to finish Hand-Me-Down Princess. I’m going on a writer’s weekend on Friday and really want it done before I leave so I can write a novella while I’m gone without it hanging over me, but we’ll see… Either way, I can’t wait to see one of my very dear writer friends and write the weekend away!

Our family got a second kitty and it is 10 weeks old. The other cat we have is now turning 5 yrs old. I am sure you are enjoying your kitten as much as our family (and older cat) is enjoying the baby kitty. (Cindy Castillo Hipolito)
Somehow I skipped right over the Sunday Edition!
Carol, it sure sounds like you’ve already had a BUSY start to your summer! I’m glad, though, that you have had time to get in some of your writing in. And prayers that you find or have found those pictures you need! I surely do understand the ups and downs of new computers….technology, while it’s great, can sometimes be a means to pulling out our hair :-D Also, I’m glad you are seeming to feel better….been keeping you in prayers for healing.
Looks like another great week for posts…I always look forward to each one! It always is a great end to my evening when I read and respond to each one. What a great habit to form :-)
Blessings, Carol, to you and yours!
Ah! I don’t know how I missed this! Thanks Trixie! It’s always super busy around here, but I wouldn’t trade it ;).
