Two Little Girls In Blue by Mary Higgins Clark

I know it's been a while but things have been crazy and I simply haven't been up to updating my blog. But, here I am back, with a gusto ready to write my hands off.

So here's what's been going on: Had some sad news on Monday and so had some minor surgery yesterday (Wednesday). It went well and I was home by 11 am. I was even able to cook dinner last night (chicken fingers with fries, cole slaw and baked beans). I am actually in more pain this morning but with the pain killers I was prescribed, it isn't too bad. (The pain killers are actually pretty mild and don't do much but they at least mask the pain somewhat).

Jim and I are still going to PIB on Monday and I really can't wait. What do we plan on doing while there you ask. Well, golfing every day (on the best 9-hole course in the continental US: Saunders Resort-and what a resort it is), hanging out by the lake getting tan, or watching the rain if the sun refuses to shine (it doesn't make a difference to me I love it there no matter what), maybe playing some cornhole, playing on the wave runner (if it works, who knows, it was on its last leg last year so it may be out of commission or it may not be in the water yet), playing putt-putt (PIB has the best putt-putt course; it is called: The War of 18 Holes) and hanging with my husband.

Oh, by the way, I have to tell all those tens of people out there reading this: It is my favorite dessert month in the city of Cincinnati!!! The best ice cream ever (Graeter's) has my favorite flavor available until the end of the month: STRAWBERRY CHIP!!! It is delicious. If you have a chance to taste it, you definitely should. The great thing about it is how mild and creamy it is (not to mention the enormous chocolate chunks - just look at it!). For those of you saying, "I hate those huge chunks of strawberries in strawberry ice cream", rest easy; Graeter's doesn't do that. They blend it so well and, hold on, I'm going to go eat a bite. Ok, I'm back. Delicious!!!

Funny mistyped word: Boing instead of going. For example: Jim and I are still boing to PIB. That's funny. (I just chuckled at myself). I think from now on, I'll just leave it as it because it makes for funnier reading.

What I'm reading:

It's okay but not Mary Higgins Clark's best work. It seems like she wrote this book in a rush. The dialogue is often forced and the story line seems almost undeveloped. The mystery itself seems obvious although, I'm not finished so I'll let you know if I'm right or not. I know what you're thinking: Of course you're right Muir. When aren't you?

I'm only a few pages from the end and I have to figure out what to read next. Lately I've been in the mood to read uncomplicated, "easy reads". We'll see.

That's it for now, I'll try and entertain you all again before I leave for PIB. Merry summer to you all.
