My mind is wandering as I eat breakfast and look out at the beautiful blue sky and green grass. Beautiful from inside my air-conditioned home. It’s been in the upper 90s and low 100s. I got out of the equally air-conditioned car this morning, and my glasses steamed up.
I watered the gardens at my sister-in-law’s house early this morning and then back to mine. She’ll be home soon. My husband laments about mowing the grass when it is too wet, but if he waits until it dries out, the afternoon sun beats down unbearably. It’s August in Oklahoma.
Inside I write my blog and I’ve been putting together a book for the pilots I used to work with at Vance AFB. They are creating an anthology of their flying stories. I am writing the forward and putting them in order creating a book they can give to their heirs someday. They lived exciting lives and though we are all old now, it is fun to look back.
Next week I will interview Paula Benge on LA Talk Radios’ Rendezvous with a Writer Rendezvous With A Writer | LA Talk Radio Thursday, August 22, 6pm (PST). Paula will talk about her new book At the Heart of the Game https://books2read.com/u/3LEjNe. Paula is a personal trainer and athlete, and her daughter played college softball. She knows the game, and her writing is exemplary. The book is about a young college-aged softball pitcher living her best life, playing for a coach she’d only dreamed about, and finding her dad who has disappeared. Pick up a copy and tune in on Thursday night for her interview.
Such is the life of a writer, and I love it. But that is Another Story for another Time.
What are you reading/writing/creating this week?

Oklahoma sounds just like New England this summer–HOT. Sounds like an interesting book you’ll be featuring in your interview. I’ve just interviewed an author, as well, but on a blog. Wonderful that you interview on radio. Good luck!

Checking in! Same temps here in Albuquerque, with some thunder and rain in the later afternoon/early evening. Never predicted – just happens – sometimes for just a few minutes.
Reading this week? At The Heart Of The Game and prepping for this week’s Rendezvous With A Writer with Paula and you! Terrific story. Also reading a new anthology of Western stories curated by award-winning editor Richard Prosch, Through Western Storms features 13 of the best Western writers working in America today.
