Going Green with Recycling!

It's early Saturday morning as I'm writing and still dark outside. Haven't done this for a while, due to a busy schedule of things to do and places to go. The coffee's brewing and there's a dog snoring in the living room nearby as there used to be. Our new friend Tucker came to live with us in June, a rescue from the Humane Society. He's a chocolate lab / Doberman mix and very different from our old black lab Jessie, who had to leave us in April due to old age. At thirteen months, he's a bundle of energy and one big, solid muscle. We've bonded quickly, though, and he's generally near wherever my wife and I are. And he always gets up the same time I do, even if just to lay back down and sleep some more in close proximity. I think he'll appear in one of the later Willow Brown books, as Jessie did in An Ordinary Fairy.

I'm going to be recycling some of the older posts from this blog for the folks who have only become familiar with An Ordinary Fairy recently. (Okay, not the sort of recycling you were expecting, but I did just change the background color to green, didn't I?) I'll post one a week for a while to help the newbies get up to speed. These posts cover some basic stuff about the book and introduce the main characters.

On a fairy-related note, my granddaughter Bethany and I have watched Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, the third release in a four film animated series about everybody's favorite fairy. We watched the first time while camping, sitting around a campfire. Great fun! We rated this as our second favorite of the three, right behind the second release, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure. Still a a really good movie, in which Tinker Bell meets humans for the first time.

Now off to work on Chapter Eighteen of An American Fairy. I've left Noah and Willow in a precarious position and need to save them. You won't believe what they're up to ...
