Strange Seasons!

I am not sure if it is because of Venus and Jupiter, or our now non-booming economy, but things out here, have been really quiet for the last couple of days. I normally receive twenty to thirty phone calls a day, and at least forty to fifty e-mails to answer. In the past two days, only ten people have called the rescue ranch, and please note— Kinky made six of those calls, and I have only received ten e-mails—total! Hmmm? In a way, I guess it is a good thing, because I am now caught up with all of my never-ending paperwork!

This morning, at 7:45, I phoned Harley, to do his radio show, at The Rose 99.9. After telling Harley, that Buffalo Girl was his Pet of the Week, and what a great dog she is, I decided to plug, a good friend of Tony’s and mine—Tom D. Wells! Our dear friends, Drew and Renee had introduced us to him, awhile back, because they love him, and he is an author, too!

“Harley,” I said. “A good friend of mine, Tom D. Wells, who has been a twenty-five-year member of the faculty, over at Schreiner College and University—has a new book out and I want to plug it!”

“Great! Go ahead! What is the title?”

“’Strange Seasons,” I said. “It is the first of a series of four. It is young adult fiction, set in a small town in west Texas—back in the 60’s.”

“Have you read it?”

“No, not yet, but Drew told me that it is a fantastic read! Tony and I can’t wait to get a signed copy and read it! On Wednesday, December 10th—our friend, Tom Wells is doing a book signing at 7 PM, at the Campus Activity Center, at Schreiner University! And we’re going to it! His book signings are a blast!”

“Where is it available, Cousin Nancy?” Harley asked. “I’ve got a relative that I want to buy it for.”

“You can buy ‘Strange Seasons’ at the book signing, or at Wolfmueller’s Books or Amazon.com...” Harley and I then visited a little longer. I am putting up a link to Tom’s website. Please check out Tom’s new book at:

This afternoon, because nothing was happening out here, I went—outside, and worked on the Space Ship! Tony helped me put away the many tools, and then I started decorating it! I put my nine dollar, service of four—fine china, into the cabinets, and then I feng shuied the Space Ship—by clearing out all of the clutter!

After that, I came inside the trailer, and grabbed my Bose iDock and iPod, and went back outside to the Space Ship! While Michael Jackson loudly sang, ‘Billie Jean,’ I dusted and swept the wooden floors, and sorta moon skipped, as the Space Ship began to totally Rock!

When Tony came out to tell me that Kinky had called, again—he was shocked at how great everything looked inside the Space Ship!

I spent the rest of the afternoon, happily decorating the Space Ship—and it is looking so awesome! I still have a lot of decorating to do. I did paint a few more signs and hung them, and I also painted a few picture frames, and put my favorite pictures in them, and they look great, too! The last thing I did out there, was to screw a hat rack hook into the wall—and then I hung my pink, Dallas Cowboy cap on it!

Y’all, I’ve had a great day! I’ve needed a little time for myself, because I’ve been so busy, and I am glad that it has been quiet! Tony just walked inside the writing cabin, and told me that it is wine-thirty! I’ve got to go! I hope y’all have a wonderful evening—because I am fixin’ to!

P.S. Please check out Tom’s new book!
