Indigo, the vacuum cleaner loving dog!

My husband and I created a video of our dog, Indigo. She has a unique quality, especially for her breed (blue heeler). She loves to be vacuumed.  Check it out for your self on my first You-Tube video.  It's less than 30 seconds long.

Enjoy.

Sci-Fi book by KC Heath published!

An acquaintance from writing group I belong to has had a sci-fi book published.  Her name is KC Heath and her book is entitled Reins of Time.  I have yet to read this e-book (we are hoping for a paper copy release at a future date), but I know what hard works goes into writing and completing a novel, and felt KC deserved a shout out for her great accomplishment.

If you want to learn more about Reins of Time you can visit her publisher's website at:

http://www.wildchildpublishing.com/actionadventure-c-70/reins-of-time-p-271.html

The book blurb reads:

"In the Dark Age of two thousand, six hundred years into our future, two men struggle against changing times. One is young and genetically gifted with an electromagnetic attraction to a strange planet where sentient metallic aliens can warp space. Meerak is the prize of three worlds' of power politics and must mature quickly or die. His honorable enemy-become-companion is a middle-aged man who will sacrifice everything for his loyalty to this cause. Together with three strong heroines, they fight amphibious aliens and time-paradoxes in a high-action adventure over the newly discovered exotic fuel supply that enables interplanetary travel.."

Congratulations on your success KC!

Happy New Years!

Vinegar, a Natural Weed Killer

My husband unearthed a wonderful way to kill weeds that is non-toxic.  Since I wouldn't let him use chemicals in our yard, he did a little research and experimentation.  Vinegar is a perfect weed killer.

You pour white vinegar on a weed, blackberry bramble, or whatever you need to rid your yard of.  Within hours the vinegar will shrivel up and kill whatever it was poured on. Safe, clean, non-toxic and cheap.

Give it a try . . .
