It's May

It's May, the Merry month of May . . . .

and, Dan and I whistle along with a favorite tune from a favorite musical, Camelot. We both own the sound track on LP . . . yup, records!

To welcome May, I got my hair cut this morning. Nah, that's not really the reason . . . I wanted it done before the trip. Yes, we are in countdown mode now - only 6 more days . . . we leave for Anchorage Friday afternoon, check into the airport by 10 p.m. and catch the red-eye flight for LA. After a short layover it is off to Honolulu where we will visit with Linky, we hope.

Then we hop the interisland flight to Hilo where we will spend a bit better than a week - and get to meet the lovely Paradise Ali and her family.

There will be photos on my return, and maybe a postcard to those of you whose address I have tucked away. If I don't have your address, and you'd like a post card, drop me a note, okay? The address is there in the upper right corner of your screen - just take out the NOSPAM.

After my haircut this morning I worked on hubby's anniversary surprise for a bit. I will have to finish it later - sometime when he is not home.

Then this afternoon I went over to Soldotna to the bookstore to meet and visit with a publsiher/author friend who is visiting from CA. She is working on/editing a book with a local man and tying up all of the loose ends in order to get it to the typesetter next week. Deadlines approach.

We had a lovely chat over tea and made plans to get together when she returns in September to promote the book. I hope to have web links to it at that time. Hardscratch Press, the publishing house has website, but it is out of date right now. Jackie hopes to get back to it in the fall, after the new book is out and promoted and shows attended. She's a busy lady.

The man the new book is about is the grandfather of the woman who held my position before I started working there. I don't know him, but I know her mother, his daughter.

Well, I need to get off here and get my beauty sleep. Have a wonderful and restful Sunday everyone.
