From Finn’s Forest #19! #writingcommunity #vacations #forest #birthdays #cats #ravens

Hi! Last installment From Finn’s Forest I had returned from vacation too and had pretty pictures of the ocean and redwoods. This time, it’s just a staycation for us so picture more local.

We reorganized my hubby’s band room after decluttering and getting rid of some things. Much better. We headed to a local casino with no luck. I had a good time testing out the 4D slot machine, though. Fun just to walk around in air conditioning. Then, we visited the mall and continued walking. I was surprised to see Black Friday sales, and I picked up a couple of items. We managed to catch the new movie, Twisters too. Surprised I enjoyed it, wasn’t expecting that. Never made it to the lake to swim or our local Hot Summer Nights. It was too hot for either.

Little fox dropped by for a snack! Those are our blue lights, look pretty on trees.

The rest of the time we had to do more clearing to try to hang on to our Home Insurance. Despite the heat, I did well. So, fingers crossed that works out.

My daughters and I were outside watching the grands have a water balloon fight. No one stayed outside long in that heat though.

Next, I had my birthday celebration. I am the age of the year I was born 😉 I thought that might be lucky, but it didn’t pan out at the Casino… lol. Received a long call from my out-of-state son while my daughters, son-in-law, and grandkids were present. They BBQ’d and I enjoyed a delicious blueberry cobbler. One gift I got early was a portable air conditioner primarily for the kitchen. We’ve never needed central air conditioning in the past, but this summer has been brutal so far. I gave in and got a portable air! Cooking is tolerable now.

Chester came out with us but headed inside later too. He’s going to be sixteen next week!

I’m happy to be back and sitting at my computer! My newsletter should be in your email if subscribed. It includes a sneak peek at my latest cover along with the book of the month and a birthday poem I wrote years ago.

Our ravens stopped by for a bite. They watch me so it’s hard to get a picture, this one had to be through a screen.

I’m too far behind to catch up, but know I’ve missed everyone. Also, I felt overwhelming gratitude upon returning to some fantastic posts and reviews! Thank you xo
