Late post today!

I enjoyed my morning talk with mom but I have to admit I was a little bit tired. My youngest son called at 11:00 pm last night wanting to chit-chat. We were on the phone until 12:30 am. Yes, he is my Rawlings. He is witty but does not smoke or drink. He is observant of everything around him. He is curious about everything.

Well, last night we spoke of Olympics, College, Politics, and me getting my will together. He is most worried about that. He vows to call me relentlessly until I do. He is the executer of my estate. He will be hard nosed about what I want regardless if anyone thinks it is off-beat.

I have decided on everything I need to decide now I just need to sit down with a lawyer. Years ago I had a will (and I guess it is still in effect) that had my ex husband getting an stipend from my trust fund for the boys (they were little) and that amount matched exactly the amount he had given me in child support -- $17.50 per week per child. lol I had written in the will "Ernie - if you thought I could care for the boys with just this pittance, than you can do it yourself. lol Vengence is sweet. But the boys are now 36 and 35 I think. So no need for that old stipulation. They have reached the age 35 where I would let them get their hands on my money in that old will anyway.

Lets see. How can I lighten the mood here. I am working on my chapters 32 through 35. there is so much stuff that happens in these chapters my head is spinning. lol I had forgotten what I had written back in February! It has been that long.

But my men are moving along in the alliance stuff and dealing with their uncles, aunts, cousins, fathers and brothers even in some cases. I have many scenes and you get to really know Georgiana too. I have no clue if this is allowed but I have her acting as hostess to Darcy. I hope my dear friend Heather does not smack my hands with this one. I do so many things wrong in the Regency England stuff. lol Her help is invaluable.

I will be busy tomorrow - Double Pinnacle Card game party! lol It is a more difficult game than canasta hand and foot. but we will give it a go. My friend Bert and I have played it for years and now we are going to try and teach others.

I need to do some research on card games for the story. I have a spot or two where I can add it but then may be not.

Picked up a few new readers this week and actually had a few new commenters post a comment for me. Love it when they delurk.

Till tomorrow morning.

back to Blake's backstory. Need to get it right.
