I love this photo. I’d probably even enjoy being there, but it’s not my ideal vacation spot because, uh, too many people. After years of being surrounded by people—in the Army, in corporate life—I love my quiet rural hobby farm with just my loved ones around me. That doesn’t mean I won’t enjoy a nice tropical vacation somewhere, sometime, but I’ll always sigh with relief when I pull into the gate at my place. I’m thinking about Hawaii next year… But we’ll see.

No, I haven’t given up on the Saturday jigsaw puzzles—I enjoy those as much as you do! I just thought I’d try some different games. And I can relate the games to books. How fun is that? The site I’m using to construct this game has different sorts of games, including crossword puzzles. I’ll have to try that next! (And yes, I’m a word nerd!)

It’s super easy to play. Just click on the first and last letters of the word you find!

For a chance to win a $5 Amazon gift card, play the word search and let me know what you think of the game! Too many words? Not enough? Will you play again?

I wrapped up my latest book a couple of days ago, and I have a huge To Do list of things to accomplish so I can start the next one. As well, I have tons of cleaning/organizing to do because I let things slide when I’m in deadline mode. But wouldn’t you know? All I want to do is chill for a few days.

I had recorded some “Christmas in July” Hallmark movies to watch in my down time, thinking it would be some mindless zen, but I didn’t like any of them. Either I didn’t like the plot, the hero, or the heroine. I think I’m just not in the right mood for all that sweetness. So, I also have all the Aurora Teagarden’s saved, and I thought I might binge through them although I’ve watched like the first six of them and still haven’t forgiven the show for getting rid of her first boyfriend. So, maybe I won’t watch those. I like the Mystery 101 series, too. So, maybe I’ll binge on those. Maybe. After thinking so much about it, I’m ready for a serial killer story.
