OR as some of us call it:
Happy NaNo Eve!
Who’s joining me in the Night of Writing Dangerously at midnight tonight?
I took my nap. I’m ready. I don’t get very social. But if others want, we can Zoom or FB chat to feel in touch. Have fun!

It’s been a busy day today. I’ll share what I can tomorrow.
Enough by Cassidy Hutchinson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This young woman has been through enough. Meanwhile, she has proven she is honorable and brave.
I can’t say I enjoyed this book. In fact, it was challenging to listen to. It isn’t fiction. And yet it pulled me like the best mystery or sci-fi adventure. Knowing it was true made me feel so afraid for Cassidy. I hope she can continue being strong and safe. I hope others learn how to stand up to the bullies with truth.
I highly recommend this read. I was lucky to read it on Libby.
Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “oo.” Find a word with “oo” in it or just use “oo” because why not? Whatever you decide on, use it any way you’d like. Enjoy!
I’m still working through all the pics and deciding what to share. There were so many children, and most of the girls did the same as Spouse 1’s mother and I. Witches. We tried to take a group photo but couldn’t keep us all in one place long enough.
The memories of this great event still flood me, and I long for more. More Oos and Aws. So good!
Trick or treat!
Blowout: Corrupted Democracy, Rogue State Russia, and the Richest, Most Destructive Industry on Earth by Rachel Maddow
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
The quick blurb from the Amazon page:
Big Oil and Gas Versus Democracy—Winner Take All
Rachel is a great storyteller. Within the story, you can trace the abundant research she puts into any of her books.
It kept me engaged and awake, following the threads of her story until nearly 4 AM. Yikes!
Maybe this is one you would like to try? I know it isn’t for everyone but I do think the book is interesting.
We were so blessed in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, at the Greenstone Cottage. We highly recommend it if you get the chance to go, you will love it too. By the way, You pronounce the town as if you were saying, ‘I can no more walk.’. I had such a hard time saying it at first, but I practice it daily.
Thank you, Ronda, for making sure we were comfortable during our stay visiting with all of you. I think it is Cathy I need to thank for this beautiful home. I’ll correct it if wrong. Correction: Her name is Carol. Thank you, Ronda and Laura, for helping me get her name right.
Addendum. I forgot to tell you what Dana and I missed for being so tired from the week before and lack of sleep the day of the flight. I will claim the bout of diverticulitis. Whatever it was, we should have taken a few walks around the cottage. Laura pointed out that just a block away was a lake! I’m sorry, peeps! I could have gotten some fun pics of that! And there were some fun shops had we gone in the other direction. I wish I could do this again. I would have loved to check these out.
I’m keeping all the fun to myself. Nope. Just having trouble with the uploading. Hopefully, I’ll get it done tomorrow.
