 HOTDOGS, FIREWORKS, AND HERSHEY'S(And a shout-out to a fellow author) I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July. We celebrated our 42nd Anniversary on July 4th. And we ask ourselves again, “Why did we pick such an important holiday to get married?” HA!!!
WRITING NEWS: As the picture above denotes – It is Christmas in July because Rekindled for Christmas Eve is ON SALE for .99 cents. If you haven’t purchased it, hurry. Sale ends July 31. And remember to leave a review. I do love them! www.amazon.com/dp/B0BD8ZGMZ5
Another thing I love is sharing with you the funnies that happen to us on the road. I forgot to add one of the biggies from last month when we visited Lexington, Kentucky. While there – we asked Google, “What are some unique places to visit?”
Fairway to Heaven Miniature Golf popped up. You know us, we signed up for that one in a heartbeat. I almost forgot to mention each course had a biblical theme: Course I – Old Testament, Course II – New Testament, and Course III – Miracles. We opted for Course III.
Below are photos from our time there. And just for the record, I lost by one point. It might have been because I was laughing at how they depicted a few of the miracles.  Jesus calms the storm
 Here is the sign for the burning bush...
And here is the burning bush. Trust me, I'm not poking fun at the establishment. We had a blast seeing all the creative ways they told the stories of God's miracles. If you're ever in the area, look them up.
LEARN SOMETHING NEW TODAY:
Since I'm the Google Queen, I googled hotspots in Huntington, West Virginia, and found out it was famous for its hotdogs. I told Ray, and I thought he’d say, “We’re on the road again because I hate hotdogs.” But, no, he was ready to find the ‘best’ one. He does amaze me at times. And it turned into a Hot Diggity Dog Day!
And if you’re wondering, we didn’t drive the RV to find them. We found a Walmart, unhooked, and drove to the drive-ins. Amazingly, someone came out and took our order.
And we got quite the surprise at the second one we visited. We found out that Briana (who waited on us) was the 5th Generation to run the hotdog stand. She told us the building had been there since 1932.
At the end of the day, our vote went to Briana’s place (Stewart's Hotdogs) for the best hotdog. An enjoyable day had by all, and neither of us suffered from indigestion.
 
Yes, we finally made it back to Hershey, Pennsylvania to go to Hershey Chocolate World. Yeah! Yippee! Woohoo!!! And two funnies happened (see one in the photos above).
We walked around the store and enjoyed all the wonderful smells on our way to the ride that explained all things Hershey. I didn’t know Ray was into reading the signs along the way that day.
I reached the stairs and went down to the ride, and I’m thinking he was right behind me as I jumped in the car. Then I looked, and he was still on the stairs, behind a half a dozen people, staring at me.
Thankfully, it wasn’t busy, so they waited on him. He made it down, and we were on our way to find out how they make the delicious candies, which they’ve been doing for 50 years.
WRITER’S CORNER:This month I’m featuring a dear friend of mine from Texas. Her book, Search Light, releases today, (July 21).
 
In 1942, Women’s Army Corporal, Pauline Lopez is on duty atop the Bolivar Point Lighthouse. Her job: to spot German submarines in the Gulf of Mexico responsible for sinking supply ships bound for the U.S. When Pauline reports enemy activity, the call is deemed a false alarm, soiling her military reputation.
Pauline meets Army Air Corps pilot, Captain Frank Chessher at a USO dance. Frank believes Pauline’s story, but the next time she reports enemy activity, no one believes her.
Will Frank hear her mayday call and come to her rescue, or will she become another casualty of war?

Thank you, Annette. Love ya bunches!!!
DEJA VUE!
Every time we stay at a campground, I put it into an Excel spreadsheet. The other night I typed in where we we’re staying, and it filled in the name. I looked at Ray and said, “We’ve stayed here before.”
Sure enough, I went back to 2016, and there it was. The funny part – the description I wrote of the park was exactly how it looks today. We stayed for a week to catch up on writing stuff, visit friends, and sightsee around the Boston/Cape Cod area.
Until next time…
