What I Do for Fun

Anyone who follows me on Facebook knows what I do most of the time:

Write
Work on projects for others
Put out two newsletters for organizations I belong to.
Write my own newsletter
Promoting my books whether on line or in person.
Teach Sunday School and go to church
Grocery shop and cook dinner (almost every p.m.)

Though a lot of that is fun for me, I know it doesn't sound like fun to others. 

Reading--I don't get to do enough of it anymore.

My two great-granddaughters who share our home (with their parents) keep me entertained. They always want to know what I'm doing, and sometimes play school in my office--when I'm working here.

Spending time with my big family--just visiting, birthdays, traveling to where some of the far away ones live.

Going to an occasional movie with my hubby--or just sneaking away with him to have lunch, usually at the Thai Kitchen.

Eating out anytime--meaning I don't have to cook.

Going to the PSWA conference--coming up next month. I used to attend as many mystery and writing conferences and conventions I could afford in a year--but I don't fly anymore nor have the budget to do that. 

Attending Sisters in Crime meetings

Hubby and I watch a lot of movies and TV series together on our Roku. Something we can enjoy together.

Not the most exciting life--much tamer than when we were young.

What is your favorite fun thing to do?

Someone asked recently how I get so much writing done. I told him it's easy--just don't do anything else. But, seriously, I do much more than write. I spend time with family. I work three days a week at the historical society. I read. I draw. I walk. I cook and eat (and go to restaurants when the opportunity arises). I watch movies and documentaries. I attend church. I visit flea markets and antique shops. Recently I went on a road trip with my son and daughter-in-law to Gettysburg and some wine shops.
Life is only boring for those who don't do anything.

What I don't do anymore is fiddle around--belong to social clubs (did at one time)--I guess it's all about choosing your priorities.

Need to Catch Up With My Blog Tour?

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. Abel Navarro can’t concentrate on the job because of worry about his mother. Officer Gordon Butler has his usual upsets. The sudden appearance of an angel in the window of a fu

Meet Morgen Bailey from the UK

Like I do with many folks, I met Morgen through the Internet when I learned about the great interviews she does. I thought it would be fun to turn the tables on Morgen and find out something things about her, so here goes: Morgen, except for the fact that you do terrific interviews I know very little about you. So here goes with my battery of questions. First, tell me something about your background, including where you live. Thank you Marilyn. I live in Middle England really; Northampton. About as far away from water as you can get (3 hours) which I don’t quite understand as I love water; every picture (actually subconsciously until a friend pointed it out) in my house contains water. I’m one of two siblings, I have an older brother who’s an IT project Manager and lives in Zurich, Switzerland so I see him 2-3 times a year (birthdays, Christmas; the latter spent in my mum’s kitchen / diner with opposing laptops). My father died September 2011 so she potters while my brother an

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&
