AUTHORBUZZ: Discover new books, "meet" the authors and enter to win: Goto: http://authorbuzz.com/dearreader
Dear Reader,
I have house guests. I didn't invite them, but "Shh," please don't let them know, that I know, they're here. Invitation or not, I've decided to throw an impromptu party in their honor. I enjoy entertaining. And obviously the word is out about my fun parties, so I wouldn't want to disappoint my guests.
I'm getting the house spiffied up--company ready--organized and cleaned (even though company's already here), and in a couple of days I'll pitch a party tent, too. I don't have to worry about the menu, because my guests have been helping themselves to breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a couple of weeks now. They know their way around my kitchen.
Who are my guests? Wood termites have invaded my 1926 historical home.
Since I always try to find "good news" in "bad news," perhaps I should take it as a compliment that apparently 1926 was a very good year, and my aged, tasty wood, is at its best and ready to serve. So tomorrow (Thursday) I'm serving a tasty buffet underneath the big top (the red-and-black exterminator's 'circus' tent.)
"Come one, come all, step right-up and bring your termite friends."
* Congratulations to the winners of Restrike, by Guest Columnist Reba White Williams: Barbara Duncan, Allison C. Busby, James McDonald, Kimberly Welsh and Marybeth Anderson.
Thanks for reading with me. It's so good to read with friends.
