PLANS HAVE CHANGED
(But it's all good...)
I had my June newsletter all wrapped up in a shiny bow, ready to send out to my readers…then our plans changed. Instead of working at the campground, we are now unemployed and are on the road again.
WHAT?
In the scheme of things, it’s all good...and we learned from this experience that the next time we seek a workamping job, we’ll ask many more questions before we’re hired.
But while we were gainfully employed, on our days off, we ventured into the city and acted like Tom and Terry Tourist. We stopped at Dinosaur Park, and as you can see from the picture below, it’s more of a kids’ attraction. But we knew from our last visit three years ago that it gave us a fabulous view of Rapid City.

(This bridge was mammoth!)
This time, instead of walking up the stairs to reach the top, they had installed a paved trail for those in wheelchairs or who used a walker so they too could see the stunning views of the city.
As we walked up the new trail, I praised the Lord for the way Dinosaur Park was helping humanity. And they spared no expense on all the wonderful improvements to the site.
To continue our fun-filled day, Ray surprised me and took me to a quilt show. I had enjoyed making them years ago, but mine dimmed in comparison to the creations that day. WOW! The above photo is titled "Mystical Cat" by Bobbie Edwards.
There were many other quilts, but my heart smiled when we learned that the admission price we paid helped them buy material for quilts to give to the Caring Pregnancy Center, veterans, and nursing homes. It was money well spent.
JUNE FUNNY:
When we were heading to South Dakota, at one of our stops, I went in to use the restroom. I asked where I’d find it, and the woman behind the counter pointed and said, “The code is 7524.” I kept repeating it in my head as I walked.
Then the inevitable happened.
A man waltzed in and asked about the restroom. The same cashier gave him another code. Without skipping a beat, I started to repeat mine but kept my voice low…or so I thought.
Next thing I know, the cashier leaned around the counter and said, “Your code is still 7524.” Everyone laughed, including me. Right then, I decided I’d bring a pen with me next time...just in case.
WRITING NEWS:
I received some news from another writer friend concerning book reviews. People who had read her books told her that they had reviewed it, but the review didn’t show up on Amazon.
This made me think that the same thing might have happened to me. I’d appreciate it if you could check to see if your review for Mouse in Your Pocket is on Amazon. If it isn't, please let me know. Bless you!
Now, to the photo at the top of this newsletter. It’s one I took in our travels. Doesn’t it look like the perfect place to take a book and read all afternoon?
And speaking of books, this month Early Birds Adventures is ON SALE for $1.99. A real bargain for five books.
As always, I would like to thank my faithful readers of my newsletter. I would also like to thank my new subscribers. All of you make my heart happy!!!
Until next time…
