What have you been doing for fun this month, Blogger Buds? 

I've been watching my outdoor live feed.  It's a hoot. It's set up on the porch near the cat food I set out for strays.  So far the visitors are: a Carolina Wren that hops in the bowl and gets himself a few pieces of cat food to eat, a possum and about four cats.  The HH says we need to start taking reservations since it's currently first come first served.

What about you? Do you have an outdoor live feed?

 Stay warm....

Your Weekend Read: DEATH BY MOONLIGHT by C.W. Hawes

 

 

Death by Moonlight

Seven full moons. Seven brutal murders. Seven dead from out of town. But will one from Magnolia Bluff be number eight?

Harry Thurgood has it all. A business he loves. A wife he loves. And newborn twins he loves.

 The Reverend Ember Cole, Harry’s wife, loves her work and loves her family.

Life for Harry and Ember couldn’t get any better. But it could get a whole lot worse.

For the past six months, the Full Moon Killer has wooed victims to Burnet County and killed them when the moon is full in a ritual that smacks of vampirism.

Now a body has surfaced in Magnolia Bluff, and Police Investigator Sgt. Reece Sovern joins the ongoing investigation. However, newly hired Capt. Davis Briggs wants to make sure no civilians stick their noses in police business.

But when Ember goes missing, Harry’s not about to sit on the sidelines. Even if it means running afoul of Capt. Briggs and getting tossed in the slammer.

 The problem plaguing Sgt. Sovern, and now Harry, is that Burnet County is a big place. Will Reece and Harry find where the Full Moon Killer hides his victims before the next full moon? And what if the killer decides not to wait?

 CW Hawes’s Death by Moonlight is a classic slow burn murder mystery. It’s a chilling, suspense-filled read — just what you’d expect from CW Hawes, the Underground Authors, and the Magnolia Bluff Crime Chronicles.

Get your copy today! Because the game is definitely afoot.

  Foods Harry and Ember like to Eat

Harry Thurgood loves doughnuts. Especially with a well-made cup of exotic coffee. His preferred method of making coffee is by the vacuum siphon method. He also enjoys anchovy pizza. And in the evening relaxes with a Corpse Reviver No. 1.

Ember Cole has very simple tastes when it comes to food. An egg sandwich for breakfast, or a bowl of chili with a piece of cornbread for lunch. She enjoys a well-made vegetarian pizza. In the mornings she’ll have what Harry calls a white coffee: a little coffee and a lot of milk. Otherwise she enjoys a cup of tea. Ember doesn’t drink much alcohol, and will usually opt for a French 75 mocktail instead

 AND

Denise is hosting a challenge.  Words to picture.  I did a mini-mini-short:)

 

Her flame lit the ebony walls and fluttered through damp and the dark. Holding her light aloft she danced on the cold, smooth floor of the cave, her heart filled with joy. She had found a home.

 

 

 

Ketch-Up Day

 

Can you say Brrr? The cold weather is coming. I sincerely hope the pipes don't freeze.

I had a great birthday. Partied for two days. Heh. One of the buds hosted a brunch for me at his house. Oh my goodness. It was amazing.

The cookies were homemade, double or triple chocolate and made by one of the buds. 

He served tomato bisque, mushroom and spinach quiche and the most amazing salad. Have you ever had watermelon radishes or roasted yellow beets? They were delish and so very pretty.

The next day, the 70s Club went out for lunch. We tried a new place. The food and service were great, along with the price:)

 Then at home, I had strawberry cheese (birthday) cake waiting for me.  Very yummy.  If anyone out there is interested, this came from Publix. 

Well, the birthday celebration is over but the leftovers and cake linger on:)

AND

Frank at the game table.  

Both my grandson and SIL play chess. I'm so impressed. My grandson is only eleven. I've never played a game of chess in my life, but I can play a mean game of checkers.  Heh. 

What's your pleasure? Do you play chess or checkers?

Stay warm. Stay safe, blogger buds.
