The Lost Summer

 





CHEERS to the lost summer.

I just realized I haven't paid attention to my blog at all since we received the new refrigerator. A lot has happened. Some fantastic, and some not so much. 

And even through the crazy time, I was able to publish two books with a third coming at the beginning of next month and a Christmas short story coming in the beginning of December.

We started July with a wonderful birthday kayak ride on Big Squam lake here in New Hampshire.


And then we stepped into the twilight zone for the next few months. It all started with what was supposed to be an awesome trip to Alaska...


We saw a little of Mt. Denali from the park as you can see here. And we saw a grizzly playing with her cubs. We saw some other amazing things...

 
 Yet this beautiful scenery didn't keep Covid or the flu at bay. Which is tough when you're traveling with three elderly adults in their 80s.  Needless to say it was a rough journey home.
And the resulting aftermath of this was ugly, and still after three months, time hasn't eased the nightmare at all. Especially when those you've helped show zero gratitude.

And then September rolled around and a happy occasion pulled us momentarily out of our perpetual nightmare.

My son got married!

And I released my first book since the spring and then October brought the next book release!
 
And next month this book comes out!

So now that you've heard about my summer and fall, tell me some interesting things about your summer or fall.  I'd love to hear about beach parties and camp fires. Or any special events that still leaves a smile on your face. Hit me up! 


And here's to a much better fall and winter season!
Until next time, 
Ciao!
