Earth

Yesterday visiting daughter and son-in-law, hubby and I went to the movies and saw Earth. Documentaries are not my usual choices for movie viewing. However, to truly enjoy the amazing film, seeing it on the big screen is the better choice.

James Earl Jones narrates as the camera catches spectacular images of this amazing planet we live on. It's not the Seven Wonders of the World, but it covers Antartica, the Arctic, the desert and rain forest and some of the creatures who live in each place.

If you go to see it, stay through the credits--shows you some of what the people who took the photos went through--entertaining stuff.

Off to prepare breakfast for my family.

Marilyn: I'm so happy I've had the opportunity to really become acquainted with you. For the readers of this post, I first met Madeline at a book fair in Hanford, then again at the Sisters in Crime/MWA conference in Pasadena, and she came to last year's PSWA conference, and she came to my booksigning at my family reunion in Barstow and we were next to each other at a book fair in San Luis Obispo. My first question is, when did you first become interested in writing? Madeline: Hi, Marilyn, great being able to “talk to you” on your blog. Some of my earliest memories are of reading, and wanting to become a writer. Admittedly, there was probably some childhood fantasy type of thinking going on then, because I also remember wanting to be a firefighter, teacher, doctor, and magician. But for sure, the genuine desire to write started very early, and has remained throughout my life. But even with that lifelong desire, and having a couple short stories published “way back when,” I d...

Remember, the person who comments on the most posts on my blog tour will win a copy of the three books that come before No Bells . No Sanctuary is the story of two ministers, two churches, two wives and one murder. Officer Stacey Wilbur and Detective Doug Milligan are a couple in this one despite Stacey's vow not to date anyone on the Rocky Bluff P.D. This is also where she begins her career as the vice officer for the department. An Axe To Grind is about a stalker who loses his head. When Detective Doug Milligan strikes out on his own to investigate a suspect, he disappears.  A distraught Stacey follows his trail. In Angel Lost as plans for her perfect wedding fill her mind, Officer Stacey Wilbur is sent out to trap a flasher. The new hire realizes Rocky Bluff P.D. is not the answer to his problem.

Today is My Birthday!

I never thought I'd live this long! The last few years, birthday celebrations have usually been a nice dinner out in a restaurant. Hard to do these days. Sometimes cake and ice cream is how we celebrate. This year my granddaughter, Melissa, is doing something special. She's taking her grandpa and me to a place about 1 1/2 hours away for lunch, called The Secret Garden. I've not only never been there, but I've never heard of it. I took a peek on the Internet and it looks like a beautiful place to celebrate most anything. Yes, I'm excited. I'll take pictures and report on it when I get back. Melissa is special. Everyone loves here, young and old alike. I was in the delivery room when she was born--exciting and wonderous. I babysat her many times until her mom and dad moved to Central California. (We live there now. When she was a teen, she came with me when I took the women in my care home to church camp, and was an unbelievable help. I couldn...
