Today is the last day of our middle summer camp. Big show, cookout, etc. Lots of work to go around! One step closer to publication. Lots of interest. Cant wait to get into action. I believe the only holdback will be my own ability to order in advance, based on the reviews I am getting from those who see my postings and previews.

Publisher's main computer had a breakdown and editing is going through a slight setback. Hopefully all will perk up and we can procede soon. Everything at this end is on standby and ready to burst open. Already have new business cards, tee shirts and numerous places to go for signings, etc.

On another note, it is the next to last day of our second summer camp. Big show and cookout tomorrow. Always a chore, but lots of fun for the girls and their parents. Sissy and I usually take a couple days to recoup afterward.

Book getting closer, editing going on now. Looks like Sept. will be a good month for many things. Can't wait to hold some book signings, I already have quite a bit of interest.

Summer camp is now in full bloom, but this time, some of the leaves are already falling off. Having to cancell the trail riding aspect, due to one discordant member's mom. Oh well, it happens.

Weekend is over. Fence painting is comming along, but still has a way to go. Today is the first day of summer camp, lots to do. Not much time to write.

Running a little behind in my first publication. My publisher is in the process of moving.

Anyway, I spent the day painting fences. Looks good, but much more of a job than I envisioned. Painting through wire and onto new, unpainted wood is a real challenge.

Borrowed my neighbor's big tractor to mow the lower pastures a couple days ago, what a difference! Everyone should get behind the wheel of a huge piece of machinery once in a while. It can and will do what you ask it to, whether you are really ready or not. Entertaining!

Been putting off working on my next novel, "To Kill A Judge". Guess it is time to get to work again. Love it when I am writing, but getting into it can be daunting.

The second of three summer camps starts tomorrow. These are the older, more advanced girls. Less hand holding and more adventurous.
