It’s been a busy week, but not too busy to finish a book I started over the weekend. It’s fun to discover new authors through other folks’ blogs, especially when you get to have some interaction with the author! I followed a link from Pen and Paper over to Crime Fiction where I discovered the book Cut Short. I enjoy reading books in this genre and decided to give it a shot. I thought it was quite good and plan to continue with the series as she writes them. If you like P.D. James, Ruth Rendell or the sort… I bet you would enjoy this novel by Leigh Russell.
Whew! The Bazaar is over for another year. We had a fairly good crowd yesterday and I'm pretty sure we ended up making more money than we did last year! Our group takes a break now until January when we clean up the craft room and get started for the next year. I still need to tie up all the loose ends for this year, but that should be done by the first week of December.
Last night my husband and I attended our granddaughter’s final soccer game of the season. This is her second year to play (she’ll be 8 this month) and she’s actually quite good at it. None of our kids played soccer, so it’s been a new experience for us. I’ve always believed in good sportsmanship and last night I caught a little glimpse of what I don’t like about children’s athletics. The game was for the championship in their age division and there was a man there, I presume someone's grandpa, that I hadn’t noticed at any of the other games. He was quite vocal in his opinion of the kid refereeing the game. The league uses older kids to call the games and this particular young lady was a little tickier than most we’d had throughout the season. I don’t know if she was truly being fair or not, but hey… it’s just a ballgame! Despite what the man thought were unfair calls, our granddaughter’s team won.

Thanks for the mention, Kelly. I still haven't get around to ordering my copy of Leigh's book - shame on me.
Glad to hear that all went well yesterday. I hope lots of funds were raised.
Well done your granddaughter and her team.
You go girl! Glad their team won! Also glad the Bazaar is over, successfully, for another year!
Fun finding a new author to follow!
Hope you have a great weekend, Sis!!
Hi Kelly - I think it's a shame when adults put pressure on children, taking things that should be fun too seriously. Children should be encouraged to enjoy sports and competition, otherwise it can take all the enjoyment out of it.
I came over to say thank you very much for mentioning Cut Short here. I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Please keep in touch.
Glad you survived the bazaar, Kelly, and that it was a success. Isn't it fun discovering a new author!? I got Stephen King's new one "Under the Dome" from the library and I gave up on page 100 and handed it over to Ray (he's much more patient than I am and is a true hard-core King fan). It's 1008 pages! I'm reading a book called "The Widow and the Tree" by Sonny Brewer based on a true story about a 500 year old Oak tree. (Perfect timing as this is my week for trees!) So far, it's a fabulous read. I hope you have a fabulous weekend! Love & Blessings!
