A Weekend with The Girls

In this second pic all three of them look expectant - like they're ready for the party to kick in.  Maybe some gossip?  Isn't that what girlfriends are for? LOL 

 Let's see, my plans for this Memorial weekend?  Well, for the moment it's just to hang loose here at home.  We attended a H.S. graduation earlier in the day.  Monday we have a cookout to go to.  Otherwise we're chilling, or rather we're 'warming up' outdoors in the delicious sun.  It's actually reached that perfect spring temperature.  Should be great for everyone's outdoor celebrations.

As I've said probably a dozen times here on eharl, I can't wait for your third Evie.  I love your humorous voice as well as your winsome characters.  I'm kind of making a bet to myself that you'll bring Milo and Nicole into a bigger play (though if I'm wrong at least I'm not out of any money!).  And of course Evie and Arch are great.  I love the scope of their opposites attract relationship.  I've noticed that as the second book progressed, you had their mutual interests co-mingling more.  Perfect!

Your girls are in Girl Scouts?  My Katie just bridged from a Daisy to a Brownie.   We wanted to go out local G.S. camp too, but we're actually going on vacation during that week (ours is the first week of June)!  We have so much fun in her group! 

Beth is going to read this and think, oh, no - that again!  I got on this subject during another of her blogs - the one about 'Make me smile'. <GG>

They are really paying attention to something...do they allways sit still to have their picture taken?

So far Swine Not? is great.  Funny, cute, sweet.  You might loke that one just because it is so whimsical and funny  and yet tender hearted.

Medieval Mysteries:  RIght now I am reading The Leper's Bell by Peter Tremayne and also two by Ariana Franklin: Mistress of the Art of Death and The Serpent's Tale.  The protagonist is this feminist forensic person.  All are very different in tone than what I have been reading lately.

I'm glad you liked it, too!  Evie is a hoot!  I'd swear she was a real person, wouldn't you?

Tammy, I agree that her sense of humor is a blast.  I wish I was that funny, but unfortunately, I'm more Ernest Hemingway-serious than comical. I finish telling a joke, and everyone is still waiting for the punchline - that's how bad I am at being funny.  And that's why it's so refreshing for me to read something that makes me laugh.  I mean, don't take me wrong, I like books that make me cry, too.  But for some reason (maybe because I'm usually serious), it's harder to make me pull out tissues over a novel.  I'm more prone to laughing over something humorous, even if I'm not funny myself.  Am I talking in circles here?   Odd, aren't I?

 I do try to look on the brighter side of life, even if I can't make jokes.  Don't you feel sorry for me? LOL

I'm the same way.  I'm the un-funniest person you could meet face-to-face.  My family used to be amazed when I wrote for our local paper.  Sometimes I diverted from regular news articles and submitted editorials.  They thought the editorials were hilarious, so much so that they actually ask me if I honestly wrote them.  How's that for busting a writer's bubble - LOL.
