October ends tomorrow. That means it’s Halloween tomorrow night. In 2016 I volunteered at Light The Night at a church in Leavenworth, Washington. After that it’s become a blur of Dia De Los Muertos. It seems strange not to be wandering down to El Centro in Aguascalientes to admire the Catrinas and the Alters. And Summerland sure doesn’t decorate the way Cashmere does for Halloween.

I was perusing my morning newsfeeds and emails while listening to The Monkees on Spotify. Really? Bubble Gum music from the sixties? It was what I was in the mood for. But don’t worry. Once I get down to my WIP the music will change.

While it’s not raining or hailing today, it’s too cold to sit out on the deck sipping coffee. Makes me wonder what I’m in store for this winter. Last time I experienced a Canadian winter was back in 2009. So please keep me in your prayers.

Speaking of prayers, I am so grateful for Zoom so that I can participate in a women’s Bible Study. I’ve been in this one for almost five years and the other ladies have become good friends although we only occasionally meet up in person. We’re all a great source of support for each other and I look forward to Tuesday mornings.

And speaking of mornings, my driver picked me up at 9 am yesterday to go grocery shopping. Those of you who know me are well aware that I am not a morning person. While I am usually up early, I don’t like to venture out until the afternoon. So my act of defiance was to sleep in until 10 this morning.

It’s now after 1 and time to dive into my WIP. The outline is just about complete although I may still add a twist or two. Writing fiction is just too much fun!

Whatever you’re celebrating this weekend, enjoy and stay safe!
