Little Snippets,,,

All he could see were her eyes, as dark as coal under-neath thick lashes that stared at him from behind her bandana. Her voice was deep and sultry, drawing him in the same way a black widow draws in her prey. Oh yes, this woman was deadly. No doubt about it, he would have to be careful if he wanted to live to see another day. Tipping his hat, he stepped forward cautiously. “Why yes, ma’am, my name is Harper Barnes.” He smiled when she took a step backward. “Pray tell! To what do I owe the pleasure of your visit on this fine day?”
Chantel scrutinized him. He was tall, lean and terribly handsome. Dressed in a pair of those new denim breeches from the East Coast she’d heard about and only seen in cata-logs from Mrs. Buckley’s shop. His gray eyes penetrated her, right down to her soul, making her feel as if he could read her mind. Pulling herself together and stepping back one more step, she answered his question. “Not that it makes any differ-ence to the likes of you, but you’ve taken what doesn’t belong
to you, Mr. Barnes. I’m just here to take it back to its rightful owners.”


Harper nearly slumped forward from the lash of her tongue. God, he longed to rip that bandanna from her face. “Oh, I see now. You must belong to the Sumpter gang. I didn’t know they had a woman riding with them.” He could tell she was frowning underneath her bandana. “What’s the going rate nowadays for a woman bandit? Five or ten dollars? Why, I bet the men get at least double that.”
“Shut-up!” Chantel yelled."

Happy 4th Of July

On July 4th, 1776
This great nation, the United States of America,
In a struggle for what was right and free,
Was proudly born...
May we celebrate that precious freedom
For which our forbears fought so bravely...
The freedom that is inherent
In the Stars and Stripes, our revered flag...
Celebrate Freedom
This Fourth of July!

Have a fabulous Day....

No Sale! :-(

Well, my father-in-laws e-bay items did not sell. But he's OK with that. We'll hold on to the items and maybe try it again in a year or so. 


It really can be horrible how some people respond to things like this. When TMZ contacted us for the story, we said sure, why not. Out of 37 comments, 99% were derogatory. 


The comments were really quite nasty. And very judgmental. I suppose we could have replied to all of those remarks with  some of our own. But why?  Our family's goal was to help out our father. If he could use the money for a nice trip or whatever he wanted,,, it is his right to do so.  


Who's worse? The Prostitute, the one buying the prostitute or the pimp? Regardless of what we might think, it is not our place to judge. We don't know the story of any of them.  So until we are in their shoes, we need to keep our opinions to ourselves.


Thanks to everyone out there who considered the items. If, and when we ever decide to re-post them, I'll send a blog.


My best,

Those Crazy Tunes!

What Would You DO For A Klondike Bar?

***************************************

It's a tune that gets stuck in my head when I'm writing and stuck on a paragraph.  So I thought i'd share it to see how many of you do the same thing. Or,,, what tune churns in your brain when you get stuck on your manuscript? Gotta love those commercials...

Have a great day,
