Camp and Hollywood

Hi guys!

Guess what??

My mom was on TV today!!

 

Here's the deal. Our town is turning 120 this year, so they are having a super big party for it and doing all kinds of crazy stuff like a tractor parade, and steeplechase, and trail rides, and turtle races, and on and on and ooooon. They're also having a quilt show. And my mom is a quilter. (I should really do a post about how awfully crazy it is having a quilter for a mom). She likes to make quilts and she's made several for my minions and I, and baby quilts for friends etc. So the town asked her to make a quilt for them to auction off. And she made it. Has tons of pictures on it from businesses in town all the way back to the 1800's. (There was a crazy amount of research involved) They also asked her to go on our local news and help advertise the quilt and the party. So she did. And me and the minions got to go with her. We got our weather man to wave at us, which was cool. One of the ladies who hosts the morning show also used to be an anchor for my favorite radio station, so it was cool to put a face to the voice.

We're all certain it's only a matter of time until the Hollywood talent scouts come banging on our door demanding to talk to mom and any other attractive, talented people living in the house. (Which is all of them, I'm just saying ;))

I've also joined Camp Nanowrimo, thanks to Andrea. Basically it's a website where you can talk to other writers, track your word count, and other writerly things, all while trying to finish the first draft of a brand new novel in the month of July. I've decided to work on The Dynamic Duo, since it's pretty much the only story idea that is developed enough to even attempt work on, yet hasn't actually been started in any way.

I may be posting sporadic this week because the county fair is coming up fast and I have horses that aren't even close to being ready yet, so I'll be busy practicing on that.

Happy Monday!
