Once again, time has flown. I can't believe it's been almost a month since my last post. Some pretty cool things have happened, and a lot of the usual same old stuff. We're haying feverishly, both ours and the neighbors, but one of the neighbors is about a month ahead of normal, so we may actually get kind of a break some time in August...
The biggest thing for me, I guess, is the Lasik surgery I had on June 25th. People keep asking me how my eyes are doing, and my most common comment is "It's HD TV!" Seriously, I had a one week check-up on July 2nd, and I was within a tiny bit of having 20/15 vision! The world is brand new to me now. Things are so crisp, and the colors are so amazing, compared to when I had glasses. Admittedly, I'm having a little trouble adjusting to having to keep reading glasses around all of the time, but the hassle is worth it! I'm lovin' it! It's great to be able to just put on a pair of sunglasses when it's bright out...
On the literary front, so to speak, I have a signing of my second book scheduled for July 25th at Betty's Books in Baker City. Carolyn has been extremely helpful since I started trying to be an author, and I haven't thanked her enough for all of her help, going out of her way to make sure she has my books on her shelves, and setting up signings and all. I hope this one goes as well as the signing we had for book 1...
I still haven't updated either my blog links or my website since Book 1 came out under my own imprint, but I plan to soon (yeah, right, when I get some spare time...) It seems like there's been something going on every weekend all summer. There's been everything from weddings to whatever. Last weekend was watching Brett rope in the Haines Rodeo and the Vale Rodeo (on separate days, of course). Next weekend is book sales at the Miner's Jubilee, and the annual family reunion on Cheryl's side of the family. Then comes the book signing and the annual cowboy night shoot in Baker...
Summer's flying by...
