Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July! Plans? Family? BBQ? How about fireworks? If you live near Colorado Springs, I can definitely offer a thumbs up for the Palmer Lake Fireworks--truly amazing. But, give yourself an hour or so to get into this small mount town and get a parking place. And, oh yea...another 30 minutes or so to get a seat on the ground in the park (a folding lawn chair would be a great asset at this time). There is a small ice cream shop in the town that is within walking distance--another 30-minute wait. The splendid fireworks are longer than most. Then, you have the drive out of the town. Ummm...another hour or so. But, remember--no working tomorrow :-)

We hope to spend time with friends and chill out a bit. Saturday, Lord willing, will be a writing day for me.

Thanks to everyone for the comment and emails on the steeple choice. Looks like the first one will be the choice. Researching possible and actual accidents of steeples has been fun. I've found records back as far as 1886! Have a great accident idea? You know--stone falling and crushing a part of the church, barely missing the preacher who is standing just out of reach as the stone falls down. Anything at all. Suggestions welcome.

To date, the word count is about half way for the novel. If the accident can be solidified in my mind, another chapter will be on paper soon.

Until next time.
