Does everyone have their laundry hanging out to dry? Good! It's so hot today, I bet it dries as soon as it's hung up. I actually wished for a clothes line recently. We love Halloween, and this year our theme is dead pirates. My very nice sister gave us several bolts of white cloth, which we dyed with tea/coffee, then needed a place to hang it to dry. We ended up draping it over our back fence. I'm sure the Brothers were thrilled. I sewed it all together to make a sail, and it looks so cool! It covers almost the entire front of the house. Can't wait!
Now it's time for (ta-da!) my first book report:
I just finished reading Highland Rogue by Tess Mallory. I don't read a lot of romantic novels, mainly because the writing is often so bad, but I enjoyed this one. It caught my eye because the cover has a Scottish cutie in a kilt, and I am a sucker for men in kilts. He also has a tattoo in the shape of a triskelion, which looks really cool. One of the characters is named Ian, and I am very fond of that name!
The writing and plot were pretty good. Since I'm a proof reader, any typos are like nails on a chalk board, but I try to overlook them. This story involved time travel, so it was a little different from the normal bodice rippers. It was good summer reading, no real thinking, just imagination and who can resist those men in kilts?
BTW, any apparent typos in my posts are actually correct, as I never make any mistakes. :)
I'll leave ya with a song for the day:

"the normal bodice rippers" - LOL!
I love kilts too but I confess to a secret distaste for the lack of undies -- call me retentive! It's true, I am!
Very enjoyable writing, Starbird :)
LOL! Yep, but that no undies thing scared the be-jezus out of their enemies. When preparing for battle, they would wear only their torques. That's why they wore kilts - no hopping about to take off their pants, especially when ambushed. They would also spike their hair with mud, long before men used hair "products". Many of their enemies thought "Those dudes are wacko," and ran away.
