Writing, Shopping, Camping

Last night I had a really boring job at work with quite a few SECONDS of downtime between cycles. So, I grabbed my notebook and WROTE. I haven't been able to do that much at work lately because of the tasks I've been given.

Anyway, I wrote 7 longhand pages of a scene for Forget-me-not (my November novel). It's the missing scene I never got around to writing. Not sure it's quite done, but at least the bulk of it is there. Now I need to squeeze it into place.

I also wrote 13 pages of a new book. No, it's not the "Love Inspired"-type romance I was planning to write. That one just wasn't "alive" to me. This one is set in the 1940's and the main character is a woman whose husband is away at war and she has taken a factory job (think Rosie the Riveter). Yes, it is a romance, but not the typical one - at least I hope not. Now I need to do some research on the 1940's, as my memories of the show Homefront aren't quite enough. lol

Took James to the nature center this morning for his field school and will have to go back and get him soon. Then I went on to the thrift store and Walmart. David needed some stuff for camp - unmentionables, socks, toiletries, shorts, etc... I also got groceries. It's good to get groceries during the day because when I come home, the kids can unload the car and put away the purchases! :-)

James and Suzy had their first session of soccer camp last night too. Heard that it went well, but James ended up with a blister on his toe and today it hurts. Hopefully it doesn't get worse at field school. Pray for his toe, if you think of it. This is NOT the week for James to have an injury!

Yes, David is going to camp. It's junior high camp at our denomination's local campground. He thought he wanted to go months ago, then he changed his mind, then he changed it back just in time! lol I think it will be good for him. I went to sleepaway camp at about the same age - once after 7th grade to YMCA camp and once after 8th grade to Christian camp. I do remember a lot about those weeks!

The weather is gorgeous again today! Tomorrow and Thursday are supposed to be about 90 and there is a chance of thunderstorms.
