Has it been...

almost a week since my last blog?

Yeah, I guess my life is boring, so I don't blog as much.

Kaitlin is enjoying her new job at The Eagle. I'm the one who is still adjusting. I'm just not used to having my baby girl show up at my desk every day 10 minutes before she is supposed to start work. Sounds likes she's doing well tho, and for that I am happy! I've been at the Eagle for 33+ years, and my daughter is following in my footsteps. Don't get me wrong...she's going to go on bigger and better things. But for a part-time job during college, she couldn't do much better!

Corby mowed last night, even though Kaitlin and I both offered. He wouldn't let us, as he wanted to test out his new mower. Kaitlin mowed the last time, because it was shortly after his bout with heat exhaustion...anyway, he loves his new mower!

Headed garaging "sale-ing" in the morning. It's Kechi's city-wide sales, so Kaitlin and I will scope out a few before we head to visit mom.

My music choice of the last few days has been John Denver. We caught a few minutes of John's live concert from 1981 on PBS the other night, and it made me anxious to listen to some of his music. One of my Facebook friends posted the video to "I Want To Live" on my page, and it made me realize how much I miss John. So sad that he passed away so young!

Life Goes On

Life changed for me on July 17, 2017. I was laid off from the place I worked for almost 41 years.

I wasn't totally surprised. After all, layoffs have become the norm at newspapers. I was hoping I could make it at least another year.

But...alas...I didn't.

The Wichita Eagle has been my home and my life for so long. I started just after I turned 20 years old. Back in the good old days. What have I done over the years?

Job 1 - Classified Ad Taker
Job 2 - Classified Ad Support Staff
Job 3 - Ad Services Head Typist
Job 4 - Newspaper Layout Assistant
Job 5 - Production Director Secretary
Job 6 - VP/Operations Administrative Assistant
Job 7 - Executive Administrative Assistant and Layout Coordinator
Job 8 - Page Layout Manager
Job 9 - Prepress Manager
Job 10 - Advertising Customer Service Manager

There are other job duties in between all of these milestones. I dedicated my heart and soul to the Eagle. I started when I was so young. I met my husband while I worked there. I had all three of my child…

REVIEW: The Lost Girls by Allison Brennan

THE LOST GIRLS
by ALLISON BRENNAN
St. Martin's Press
November 1, 2016
5 STARS

Love Brennan's Lucy Kincaid series!

Siobhan Walsh has been looking for two sisters who disappeared 2 years ago. She feels responsible, so when she gets a phone call from a Texas priest, who has found an abandoned newborn with a locket nearby that she'd given one of the girls; she goes to Texas in hopes of finding them. She calls in her FBI friends, including Lucy Kincaid, and the search is on. Meanwhile, Lucy's fiance, Sean, has an unexpected visit from a former girlfriend. Her husband, and the 12 year old son he never knew he had, have disappeared in Mexico. So it's time for the Rogan family to find out what's going on.

This is a suspenseful, hard-to-put-down book, so hang on for the ride! Be prepared for a human trafficking story that is hard to stomach, and more than likely, all too true in this day and age. Mexican cartels, murder and mayhem. This book has it all.

REVIEW - Need to Know by Karen Cleveland

5 STARS
Need to Know
Karen Cleveland
Ballantine Books
RELEASE DATE: 1/23/2018

Thanks to NetGalley for the chance to read this book by Karen Cleveland.

Do books about the possibility of Russian sleeper cells in the US interest you? How about a CIA analyst who gets herself involved in a major "situation"?

Need to Know kept me on the edge of my seat, from the first paragraph to the very last. I didn't want to put it down, but when I had to, all I did was think about it. I explained what was going on to my husband, who is not a reader. Even he was intrigued. If you like fast-paced, punch-you-in-the-face kind of action, this book is for you.

Very highly recommend!
