Just a Tidbit

Just a small tidbit this morning as I am headed off to an interview (Please, God, make them be desperate - hire me on the spot), then off to the dentist for a cleaning and the kids' cavities filled. Clovis won't lay off the candy, so she has 2, and Cam has one. A day of fun, indeed.
So, as I venture out into the sweltering heat, I wanted to tell everyone what I am currently enjoying on the front porch when it isn't 100 degrees: a novel called Firefly Cloak. I am only about half way through it, but the reading is smooth and pleasurable. I like the premise of the mother leaving her two offspring in a tent, trying to kill all the mosquitoes before she abandons them. She even "cares" enough to write her mother's phone number on her son's back so that anyone who finds the kids can call. When the son passes away, his sister goes on a hunt to find the mother. It truly is intoxicating to read. Especially if one has abandonment issues, so to speak.
The other book that I have purchased and is on deck is Joshilyn Jackson's Between, Georgia. I can't wait to delve into that one! The novel I am reading now, though, is from the local library, so it is on a strict time schedule to be returned. Purchased books can wait two weeks, though it won't take me near that long to finish it.
And leaving you with this: my husband wants to go to the fair tonight. (to eat fish that a local fire department fries, I'm told) See previous post, folks. I'm breaking all the rules. If I don't want to cook tonight, and Lord knows I don't, I'll break down and enter the gates of The Fair.

To be continued. . .
