She Graduated

My oldest graduated from high school this past weekend. I didn’t finish my rough draft this month because I was effectively a wreck. I concede defeat for the month.

Twenty Scenes Left to Go

However, I’m still in the home stretch for finishing my rough draft. If I dust myself off and recommit to a scene a day, I should be sitting pretty by the end of June with the semblance of a novel on my hands.

Found a Flower Stand!

While I was busy not writing, I took a stroll in the neighborhood with my kids and found a fresh cut flower stand! It’s run by a lady who owns a peony farm, and now I also want a peony farm.

Amazing Weather

We talked to a dear friend in Brazil last night, and we laughed about how people in Wisconsin are always talking about the weather because who even knows if it’s going to be raining, snowing, or blazing hot. In Brazil, however, it’s always nice, so there’s not much to say. I have been pleasantly surprised by the sunny weather and especially grateful that it was nice for my daughter’s graduation. The sun makes me feel like we’ve jumped right into summer.

Adult Summer Reading Program

Now that it’s summer, our local library has started all of its summer reading programs, including one for adults! I’m really excited. For every five reading challenges successfully completed, you can return your reading list for coupons to local restaurants and coffee shops. I’m just as pumped as when I was little and working for that Book-It personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut.

I’ll keep you posted about any great books I find while working on my coffee coupon. Let me know if you’ve read anything good too!

Have a fantastic June!
