Discover a New World of Romance with Christine Columbus

This morning took Ruthie (the new puppy) out to go potty – she went. We came into the house and I jumped on my tread mill, while Ruthie ran around – I was clipping along at 4 MPH – and Ruthie squats down to pee – she had been outside 10 minutes ago. I was so mad I went to step off the tread mill – fell while it was still going and was flung off the back. I feel like a pretzel….but I didn’t land on the dog.

As excited as a boy with a puppy. Drama Queen has been released and it is a wonderful story, about a man, a woman and a puppy.

I'm excited Drama Queen will be available shortly at the Wild Rose Press. And I broke down and brought a new addition into our family. Ruth (or until my son decides on a different name) is an 8 week old Jack-a-Poo.

It wasn't like saying, "Good-bye." Because her dorm room is less than 30 minutes from the house. So, it was more like, "See ya." And I did on Saturday when she need her roller blades and wanted dinner. And on Sunday when she needed a ream of paper, jacket and ironing board. I'm thinking of getting a dog....a Jackapoo. I beginning to think I need total chaos to function. I'm struggling through science only three weeks left to the course. Did get my edits completed for "Drama Queen." Haven't finished "The Prefect Country and Western Story", but am getting real close to finishing a story for the Wild Rose Garden Contest...."Hard Day on the Farm." My son is back in school, has been for two weeks, when I ask him, "How's it going?" I get the typical response from a 17 year old, "Why do you ask so many questions." Maybe that's why I want a dog, so I can really bug him. "Did you let the do

Just got back from a day of eating food at the fair. I went with my daughter and if you have never been to the MN State Fair - the big deal is everything comes on a stick - hot dish on a stick. Meatball, tater-tot, meatball, tater-tot on a stick dipped into a cornmeal batter and deep-fried and served with cream of mushroom soup to be used as a dipping sauce. Deep-fried candy bars on a stick, macaroni and cheese on a stick, etc. My favorite is the cream puffs - not on a stick. Of course the cheese curds were good, foot long hot dogs, turtle sundae, kettle corn, elk burger, cashew nut roll, scone, fudge puppies, coffee, diet sodas, salt water taffy, ice cream, shake and French fries. Not to hard to believe that, we spent $80. on just food. Tomorrow it will be water and lots of walking. That if I can roll out of bed.

I started school today. Only 6.33 credits and I'll have my AA degree. Yee Haw! And next week I drop my daughter off at her dorm...One down....one to go.....(just joking my kids are the loves of my life...they've been nothing but a joy)
