Quick "weather report:" It's raining in Joliet but not on my parade!
Yesterday Rebekah worked on formatting the second book in the Adventures of Cornell Dyer series, Cornell Dyer and the Necklace of Forgetfulness.
And I got absolutely no editing done on Kellen this past week, but am planning to spend Sunday afternoon on it. In tupical "He loves me, he loves me not," fashion, I kept going back and forth with, "It needs lots of work, it does not," until I was messing around with it too much and altering its basic premise.
So I decided to back off and not rush it, to play with it when I could give it focused attention.
Tomorrow, I'm watching a grandson's T-ball game early in the morning (if it's not called on rain), cooking with Rebekah later in the day, and working on the fifth and final novel of Before the Blood when I'm not doing any of the above.
And church. And sleep.
Have a beautiful weekend readers, writers, vampire fans!

An Extraordinary Life: Jessie's still bringing kids to Christ
Memorial scholarship fundraiser keeps Frankfort teen's mission alive
During that last trip, Karolyn Nelson recalled one little girl who never smiled, except when she was around Jessie, which made the trip for Jessie.
“She was so excited,” Karolyn said. “She put so much time
and effort into that little girl. ... I remember her crying when we left after
our last VBS with them, and she said, “I may never get to see them again, but
you know what? Because of this, I may get to see them in heaven one day.’ You
look back at that as an adult and think, ‘It’s pretty cool to think she was
that young and that’s where her heart was.’ ”

any age: puppies and dogs, seniors, special needs dogs, purebred dogs. Just

pet.
