Wow...what a beautiful weekend! It seems that Nature has decided to shine upon us for a while at least and give us the gift of warmer weather. Lisa and I went outside for our walk today instead of just walking on the treadmill. We walk up Little Buckhorn on a two-mile trek that we scoped out. It is a nice little walk and it allows us to actually talk to each other while we walk. This is different than the treadmill also. Usually then, Lisa just cranks up her iPod while I watch television. Usually I try to catch up on shows that I have recorded...like Brothers and Sisters. It is a great show but it comes on too late on Sunday night for me! That's a school night...and I'm in bed by then!
I spent most of this weekend giving my latest book Dark and Bloody the final edit. Now, I just have to give my publishers the final okay and it will be available...everywhere. Yes...I will have copies available soon. But the best place to purchase my books...just like most everything these days...is the internet. Don't you just love modern technology?
In adoption news, Lisa and I have all of our paperwork notarized and finalized! We are heading to the office of the Secretary of State tomorrow to hand deliver them. They have to be apostilled by the state of Kentucky. This just means that the state is saying the court system here in Breathitt County was able to verify our notary. Whew! Lots of paperwork! But after this last thing, we can send it to our adoption agency (Children's Hope International). They will send it to Russia and we will get assigned to a region. Russia is big country you know! We will keep you all informed!
This weekend, I was feeling a little down with the sniffles. So instead of going out, we stayed home. In a way, this was a good thing. Lisa and I had stopped off at Kemper Furniture on the way home last Friday and bought a new mattress set. It wasn't supposed to be delivered until Wednesday or Thursday, but they ended up delivering it on Saturday. What a treat! It sleeps so well! I didn't realize how poor our old mattress was until we got this new one. Kemper Furniture is a great place to shop for furniture!
On Saturday, while I took a nap and tried to get well, Lisa baked a cake. It was an oatmeal coconut cake and was very good! We ended up inviting my mom and dad around to share in the cake. My dad said that he was bringing something for me to see as well. It turned out that he was bringing us an elk horn that he had found! This thing is HUGE!
I was in shock when I saw it. We took some pics of it and posted it to my Facebook page. Dad gave it to us because he said that it would look good in our log home. I agree! LOL! We are thinking about getting it professionally mounted.
I will leave you this week with a pic of the elk horn. Enjoy! Remember, you can visit my webpage at www.alonzofugate.com. I am also on Facebook. You can email me at alfugate@yahoo.com.
Until next week...class dismissed!
