FLAG DAY

Are you flying the flag today? Mine is out. I display it every day when the weather is appropriate. Sometimes, I leave it out even at night. I’ve read that it’s okay to do this as long as the flag is lit, so I leave my porch light on.

Today is a multi-tasking day for me. I’m reading e-mail, posting this blog to you, doing laundry, and making sauce for lasagna. My youngest son’s birthday is tomorrow—thus the lasagna. I’ll have a big salad to go along, Sister Shubert yeast rolls, and banana pudding for dessert. Yum. I use a recipe of my mother’s to make the pudding and it is the best. Instead of vanilla pudding, I make a brown-sugar pie-filling, and I substitute graham crackers for vanilla wafers. Top it with meringue—so good.

I just got up to stir the tomato-based sauce, and it splattered all over the stove. I’ll add cleaning the stove to my list of tasks. (Smile.) A woman’s work is never done.

Sometime soon my publisher will be offering a free download of Skip Rock Shallows to Kindle. I’ll let you know the date just before it becomes available.

Tattler’s Branch will be released in September, and I’ve started book 8. Whew—lots to do. But for now, I’d better go clean that stove.

Please pray for the folks in Colorado Springs. Some people I know are evacuating their homes as they are in the fire’s path. I always think of the animals and pray they are spared. Lord be merciful.
