Ketch-Up Day

 

How are you? Whatcha been doing? I've been working on setting up a business account on Pinterest. Good gracious. Pinterest is fine, but I'm pretty techno challenged. Does anyone else out there have a Pinterest account? Any words of wisdom you'd care to impart?

Not much else going on here. What about at your house?

AND

The garden is getting pretty sparse, but it's kept me hopping with staining the fence--I think I may have it finished next year:) mowing, adding pavers to the walkway and weeding

 


 

 Note: The leaves are just starting to fall.

AND

Just for fun

Frank has his eye on you....


And from Illinois

Thanks, Randy

AND last but definitely not least.

 


Have a grand week.

The Wicked Witch is up to mischief...again!
This collection of five short stories explores Fairyland.

 

The Wicked Witch has been spotted flying high above the forest. The animals scamper into hiding. A cold damp winter is fast approaching, and the Wicked Witch needs a warm cloak. Could squirrels’ tails be the answer? Not if the Good Fairy has anything to do with it.

 

You'll follow the ongoing saga between the Good Fairy and her nemesis, the Wicked Witch, and get introduced to other fairies, including the Treasure Fairy.

 


The Wicked Witch is not the best cook. Her favorite concoction is ‘rat and cockroach stew with turnips and horseradish.’ The great thing about this stew is you can keep it bubbling for days—just top the cauldron off with rain water…and with these ingredients, you have to!

Keith and Judy both love fish and chips, especially served in newspaper.

For dinner, Beef Wellington with peas and mashed potatoes, followed by something stodgy for Keith like a Bakewell tart with custard, and a trifle for Judy.

 About the authors


 



Judy and Keith have been married for fifty years.

They’re now semiretired and living in the South Bay, Los Angeles. Both were born and raised in the same town in England during the early fifties. It boasts a haunted Norman castle, a Saxon burh, a church with a double-spiral staircase, and inspires many of their stories. They relocated to Los Angeles in the late eighties.

Judy and Keith write sweet romance, young adult, middle grade, and children's stories. Each story emphasizes a moral and must pass the acid test, would they be happy if their own grandchildren read it? Judy also composes keyboard music.

They have two sons and two grandsons.
