I got the first draft of the newsletter done yesterday. Today, the fine tuning and putting in excerpts from requested sources.

The poor dogs. It's been raining again, yesterday and today. It's just not fun to play outside when it's that wet. Steve didn't mow and hasn't put up the wire yet for the fence. He's got to do at least the wire today. I'm plugging away at the laundry and with two dogs, I'm vacuuming just about every day. :)

I'm currently reading VALLEY OF THE SHADOW by Peter Tremayne. This is 6th of 22 in series featuring Sister Fidelma, a 7th century Celtic sister and legal advocate in Kildare, Ireland. Here is a synopsis:

Sister Fidelma has withdrawn from her religious house to represent her brother, the King of Muman, and the bishop of Imleach when mountain chieftain Laisre invites negotiations for a Christian church in his Druidic stronghold. On the threshold of Laisre's remote valley she and her escort, Brother Eadulf, stumble across 33 ritually slain bodies. Strangely, Laisre prevents Fidelma, a credentialed Brehon investigator, from pursuing inquiries. At the same time, she learns that Laisre's advisers, powerful sister Orla and Druid leader Murgal, did not approve his invitation to Christianity and are hostile to his plan and to all outsiders. Then why is Brother Solin, secretary to the bishop of Imleach's northern rival, welcome in this hidden valley? No sooner do Fidelma and Eadulf realize the political significance of his presence than Solin is murdered and Fidelma accused. Can Roman Eadulf learn enough about Celtic law to exonerate Fidelma? Are the ritual slaughter and Solin's murder linked? Is there a traitor on the inside? Before Fidelma can part personal motives enmeshed in the political, she has to cut through a fabulous swirl of mysterious outsiders, secret meetings, disguised identities, and more deaths.

It was published in 1998 and has 302 pages.

Back to work tomorrow. This is my last week. I'll do finishing up of loose threads on claims as much as I can and dismantle my personal stuff from my cubicle.

The other night we watched the movie I Am Number Four. Meh. Very much targeted, I think, to the "Twilight" crowd. Last night we watched Game of Thrones and The Killing. We missed last week's episodes because of traveling so it was good to catch up.

If I didn't have the newsletter to work on, it would be an excellent day to read. :)

Much love,
