Book overview (In the land of the big red apple)

                     It has been awhile since I posted a overview on the latest book that I have read hasn't it?  You are probably wondering if I was still reading it.  No, to tell you the truth I am not.  I finished it I would say a week a go and started the next book in the series but I haven't been reading that much or anything much.  I have been busy hanging out with friends, or just watching TV and in place of the usual reading in bed I have been writing my book while I lay in bed.
                       I know many of you might think it's not necessarily a good thing because you are supposed to let the mind relax but sometimes that's when my imagination just spirals out of control about my novel writing.  Okay Okay enough of my chatter here is the overview.
                                 Book overview
                                 Meet Rose Wilder, the daughter of Laura Ingalls Wilder and the last of the Little house girls.  Rose is turning nine and it's the exciting time on Rocky Ridge Farm.  The Wilder's have settled into their new home in the Ozarks, and Rose is helping bring in the harvest.  The year is filled with danger, excitement, and joy as Rose battles an ice storm, starts her second year as top student in her class and celebrates her first real Ozarks Christmas.
                                     My thoughts
                                      Just like the last one I had fallen in love with it.  In a way Rose made me laugh in this one because she fell in love with a much older guy that she admired and she had gotten angry when she saw him with another woman more his age.  In a way that brought me memories of when I was little and how I used to admire my uncle that way and when I used to carry his photo around. hehehe.    I am sorry that I didn't post a photo of the book I was having trouble with it today since I hadn't done it in awhile.
                                       My novel update 
                                        I am on page 4 and about to start on my second chapter.  The truth is I wrote more then 4 pages but they weren't quite right so I crumpled them up and in the trash they went but the way I have written this has pleased me so I am confident plus I have a few people that are cheering for me to keep writing.  Well better get going lots to do.  bye :)
                                     
                                            

Girl scout sunday

                  Just out of curiosity how many of you ladies out there were a girl scout or a troop leader or just helped out with girl scouts what ever it be transporting them to their destinations out of school or purchasing some delicious cookies?  I can answer that question, yes I was a girl scout for a couple years in elementary school and made a few good friends.  I remember doing the whole experience telling mom I wanted to be a girl scout, going to the mall to pick out my uniform, getting introduced and singing the songs and yes selling the delicious cookies.  I remember it being lots of fun but I also having down times too that I can laugh at now.  One of those memories was that I had spilled chocolate milk all over my brownie girl scout top that I was wearing one day and the lunch monitor had to help me change.  I remember it being so embarrassing.
                   Well anyway last week at church I had found out that today they were honoring girl scouts and their leaders.  The girl scouts could show up in uniform and be handed special religious metals that were blessed by the priest himself and at the end they would be selling the cookies.  Yes that's how it went today, dad picked me up and as we walked in we saw all the girl scouts in uniform of all ages and yes the mass went on as normal but the priest had one of the girls read one of the readings and after communion the girl scouts got announced and received their metals and then we were asked to applaud and prey for them.  He then asked for any other woman to stand who was formally a girl scout.
            "He said once a girl scout always a girl scout!"  Yes I did stand and it did feel good to get a round of applause even though I Don't necessarily like it lol.:)  Well better go.  I am sorry I haven't been blogging lately I have been busy but I will try a little harder since I am not facebooking at the moment.  :)    Since it's girl scout sunday I want to see if you can of my readers/ girl scouts know the words to this song.

Comment and let me know what you think the missing words are.  This was one of the first songs I learned when I joined my troop.  :)

A new month, a new activity

                Can you believe that it's actually March already?  It's funny because February always seems to go fast because it is the month with the least days which is 28 or in a leap year 29.  But anyway it just seems like I have been busy then ever these last few weeks.  Yes as you know I gave up Facebook for lent and I am continuing to do well with it.  I joined this site Meet up to get involved with a group that fulfills my interest and one of them as you know is playing games so there is a local board and card game card that gets together every Saturday in a local cafe in Canton and plays games from 2:00 in the afternoon till 5:00 pm.  When I told mom about the site she didn't seem to pleased because I found this group over the internet but she checked the site out and Joy told her that is the site that SHE had found a group of ladies she had gathered with to have tea with in Cincinnati.
                          In the mean time I was talking with a couple of these members of this group including the host Mike.  He says I was more then welcome to bring friends, and games, which was the idea.  The members are supposed to bring a couple anyway and it is just supposed to be three hours of fun filled games and yes I already have a feeling that this a group for me.  I DON'T play enough games at home.  Yes because it is my first time attending Joy will accompany me.  :)
                         I will keep you posted on how everything went and if I am going to stick with it.  If you are wondering if I am going to bring any games I sure am, I am going to bring SORRY, UNO, and maybe Apples to Apples if I can find it.  :)  Yes if you are still wondering I am still going to Holly's.  Jeez I am always so exhausted when I come home from there.  Of course there are the kids and when they are in bed we stay up till 1:30 2:00 AM and still get up early.
                        Yes I am still working on the novel and yes going to church.  :)  So yes getting myself busy and out there.  Well better get going. XOXO
