After a four-day vacation, my brain’s having an extremely hard time catching on to the fact today’s Tuesday. But it was a nice long weekend and I didn’t do anything but ride my ATV, read, sit around the campfire and eat.

Thursday night we sat outside and watched the Perseids meteor shower. It was a little on the early side, about 10pm, but there were enough to make it cool. The Short Kid sat out long enough to see one, then he retreated to the camper and television. But my husband and the Tall Kid and I watched for quite a while while TK entertained us with stories of ancient technologies lost to us, such as Greek fire and Damascus steel.

While on vacation, I read The Chief by Monica McCarty and Hot Finish by Erin McCarthy, both of which I enjoyed a lot.

I haven’t read a Medieval romance in years, which is a little odd because there was a time that was almost all I read. That was the problem, I guess. For a while the market was glutted with them and they weren’t all good and I burned out. But, as I’d heard, The Chief was definitely reminiscent of the old Garwoods I’d loved and I can’t wait for the next book in the series. I need to find some recommendations for similar reads, as well, because Medievals were one of my first romance loves and I want to return to them.

Maybe tomorrow I’ll get a few pictures up, but for today I’m playing a massive game of catch-up. And I don’t even want to talk about the laundry!
