Summer

Summer


What a crazy, busy summer this has been so far. It’s incredible that it’s already half gone! I’ve been spending way too much time on my computer instead of outdoors, but hopefully that will change soon. I turn in my newest book on August 1st, then no more projects for a month or so, and time to relax and get some sun!

We went in together with our daughter & her hubby, and son and his wife, to buy and restore a 16′ ski boat. Engine works great, just needed a battery and a couple of cables, but the boat had been a home for a family of raccoons for the past year or two. You can only imagine the stench inside! The guys ripped out all the carpet and we took the seats to be reupholstered…they were shredded by sharp little raccoon claws. It now has new seats, new carpet, new tires on the trailer and we’re ready to launch and try her out. Next year she’ll get a new paint job, but there’s no extra money in the budget this year, so she’ll go as she is. My hubby is looking forward to putting our smaller trolling motor on and going bass fishing, as well.


Then there’s the huge vegetable garden and flower beds…those get me outside, as does the mowing and watering. My roses, delphinium, blue bells, petunias, geraniums, lilies and so much more are in full bloom, displaying dazzling colors in 5 different flower beds. Love ’em!

I’m also making progress on my next book release, Love Finds You in Bridal Veil, Oregon….due to come out Feb. 1st next year. I’m almost finished writing it, then will do my own editing and polishing and turn in on Aug. 1st to my editor. I’m excited about this new Love Finds You book…it’s set in 1902 and I’ve woven a number of historical events/facts into the story line.

The front of our house….it’s been so hot the lawn isn’t doing well since it’s a new lawn. We’ll have to overseed again this fall.

One thought on “Summer

  1. Hey Miralee! Congrats on having another anniversary! Wow…37 years…so encouraging to those of us getting ready to celebrate 12! 🙂

    And congrats also on having another book to send to the publisher/editor! Wow…can’t wait to read it. I’ll add it to my Wishlist as soon as there’s an ISBN. LOL

    Keep up the good work….we need all the Christian Fiction we can get nowadays!

    Oh, and LOVE your house! So beautiful!
