In all the excitement of the release and some unexpected family issues, we missed our wedding anniversary, which was on August 2. Twenty-two years. 🙂 Now we are being invaded. We keep trying to put them back in the trees and grass, but they are insisting on a suicide march into the pool. We lived

The Doll House. No, really.
Check this out. If you’re in Richmond, Texas, and have a million or so lying around, do I have the house for you. Five bedroom 1/2 bath, 7, 406 sq ft, 2 acres and this. Must see to believe. More at this link.
Wednesday
Baybay, who is the basis for Beast in Innkeeper Chronicles, has been peeing everywhere continuously, so Kid 1 took her to the vet today, expecting a UTI. Turns out she has bladder stones. She needs surgery. That will be happening tomorrow. She will have to go under anesthesia. Kid 2’s car needs several thousand dollars

More Sword Videos
How sharp is Kate’s sword? Here is Mihail Abramchik. He will dance and pray a bit before he gets to the cutting part. He also makes the sword sing at some point. To be able to cut through a water bottle the way he does, you have to hold the sword at a right angle

Found Dog
We found this guy on our doorstep this morning in Cedar Park TX. No chip, no collar. We took him to the two neighboring vets, but nobody recognized him. He is at Williamson County No Kill Animal Shelter. He is in good hands and we donated some money to the shelter to pay for his

House Guest
We have a house guest while the AC in her owner’s apartment is being repaired. You can’t tell from the pictures, but she is huge. Bigger than our Maine Coon mix. I’m thinking there might be some ragdoll in there, because when you pick her up, she just sits there. You can carry her around

Happy Birthday!
Happy Birthday, honey! I am taking Gordon out for dinner for his birthday today, if he can decide where he wants to go. 🙂
Bleh and Meh
The copyedit of Wildfire is done and sent off. We have work to do. We have to update the site, we have to start working on other projects, we have to… yeah, I don’t want to do anything. I don’t want to write, I don’t want to knit, I don’t want to paint, I don’t

Flowers on a Texas Trail
So pretty… A few lines from work in progress: The glittering universe engulfed them. The ship tore through it and emerged into the normal space. A beautiful planet hung in the space in front of them, a green and blue jewel, the turquoise veil of atmosphere glowing gently. It wasn’t Earth, but it could’ve been
