Still going through DANGER LOOMS. I thought it was going to be mostly proof reading, but I seem to be redoing instead of fixing typos or adding missing words. The characters loosened up and had more to say.
The weather keeps changing and it is confusing what season it is. After days of sun and warmth, the sky was a bluish gray and the air felt humid. Somehow when the weather is like that, it feels nice. I noticed an extra lot of people out walking, so I guess other's feel the same. We're supposed to get rain and thunderstorms over the weekend. The good news is not having to use the sprinklers.
The bad news is that we were planning to go to Ojai as it's Pixie time. It reminds me of MURDER BY THE HOOK which came out a year ago and has lots about pixies in it.
I like to believe there are messages from the universe and I'm always on the lookout for them. Yesterday, it was a license plate that read Pl Relax. It made me smile and I did feel my shoulders unhunch.
My neighbors have a lighted peace sign hanging on their garage with the words Everything is going to be okay. I always feel better when I see that.
Yesterday, a yarn company had an ad saying it was pink day and they featured a whole selection of pink yarn. And then last night at IKEA, there seemed to be pink everything. Pink towels, pink lights and pink sheets on sale. Then there were pink primroses blooming in my yard today. All that pink seems as if the universe is reminding me of Molly and maybe it's her nudging me to think about her next adventure.
I need more hours in the day.

Good morning -- I chose pink yarn yesterday for my next blanket!! Molly is speaking to us!!
I have a book idea for you -- how about compiling all the recipes and crochet patterns from the crochet mystery books into one volume -- it could be called "Cookin' and Hookin'." I'm cooking porcupine balls for lunch today -- meatballs with rice in them -- supposed to look like porcupine quills. Quick, easy and delicious -- my favorite kind of food.
I like your neighbor's "Everything is going to be okay" sign -- have to keep thinking that way -- things are rather screwed up at the moment.
I hope to finish the pink blanket in a few days and take a stash to the cancer treatment center. I try to make an equal number of blankets for men and women.
The lawn guys are starting their noise -- they blow, they edge, they mow -- all with noisy equipment.
Hope you get to take your trip to Ojai -- is that where the pink haze is?
Have a good day, weekend and every day!!
Patty, So you got the pink sign from the universe, too. Ojai is where the pink moment happens, though if we go this weekend, I think the clouds will blot out the pink moment.
I hope you have a great weekend and everyday, too.
I like Patty's book idea. Sounds like fun. What book is coming out on Kindle next? Usually I get some kind of notice to pre-order but I haven't yet and I don't want to miss out. I need a Betty Hechtman fix.
I'm working on a crochet project for myself. A black, sparkle shawl. Though I live in Florida I have to bring a wrap with me wherever I go because restaurants and such are chilly. I've never made anything for myself so a black, sparkle shawl it is. Happy weekend!
Thanks, I'm glad you like my idea.
Anonymous, SCONED TO DEATH comes out at the beginning of June and is available for pre sale. I think that DANGER LOOMS will come out later in the summer. Everything else I still have to write. I'll keep Patty's idea in mind, but there's a problem of dealing with the different publishers of the books.
I totally understand taking a wrap. I'm always cold in air conditioning. The black sparkle shawl sounds lovely and perfect.
EGBOK - everything's going to be ok comes from Ken Minyard and Bob Arthur who were on KABC radio in Los Angeles. I love that saying and I had egbok on my blackboard at school.
Miriam, I'm sure your students appreciated that. We all need a feeling of reassurance, particularly now.
I just re-read all 16 of Molly’s adventures! Can’t wait for the next one!!! Team Barry! lol
