I thought I was talked about! Talk about a conversation piece! For the last couple of months, it has been Kate Middleton, perhaps one of the loveliest and most envied of women in the world of late! (After all, she was marrying a prince!) What kind of gown would she wear - long sleeved or short? Would she wear a hat? Would she learn a lesson from Diana and wear a gown that would accentuate and not hide her figure?
Well, a lot of Americans woke up before the break of dawn to watch the spectacular event (the wedding, of course!) on TV. One of those early risers was me. Yep! (Since I'm stuck at home in a purple cast from elbow to fingers. . . left hand. . . and I'm typing this post one finger stroke at a time. . . will I ever get it done?) Needless to say, if you didn't watch the royal wedding, it was extraordinarily beautiful - Kate's hair; her tiara, something borrowed; her gown, whose bodice actually accentuated her streamlined figure; the magical coach ride as she and Prince William waved to the adoring crowd, some of whom camped out for days to get a good spot in which to see the royals up close. Something that formed a lump in my throat, though, was when Prince William whispered to Kate that she was beautiful! Ah-h! Such is the stuff of fiction, but that was real life! Men, if you're reading, take this opportunity to tell the woman in your life that she is loved - that she is beautiful. I bet you'll be amazed at the response you get!
Anyhow, sometimes I feel like a princess myself! My husband cooked a very delicious meal, (Did I mention that I was picking my teeth?), served it to me with his royal hands, and asked me what I would like to drink. He served me an iced cold drink and placed it royally before me! Wow! (I'm going to be a spoiled princess by the time all this is over, with the cast, I mean!)
Anyhow, the Bible does speak about not coveting that which doesn't belong to us. People, let Kate have her man! (Young Camillas, find your own prince!) Royals, if you're reading this (Yeah, right!), I truly hope your lives together will be as beautiful and magnificent as your wedding day!
The Rain
Why is it that no one loves the rain anymore - nobody but me and the farmers? Well, I get why some people don't - those who paddled away from their homes recently because of flooding. Let us pray for those families and for others in need. Many of us are truly blessed. We were nestled safe and sound in our homes while earthquakes and tornadoes ravaged lives and destroyed the homes of many.
Now as I listen to the rumble of thunder in the distance, preparing for the onslaught of the precious rain, I'm curling up under a light, airy blanket with Through Angel's Eyes! Now that's a good book!
Getting on my Soapbox
Yeah, I can remember when interstate highways just opened! People got on the interstate, happy to drive like they were flying an airplane! Oh yeah, I remember! Yours may have been one of the vehicles whizzing past me as I crept along at a near snail's pace called the minimum speed limit.
Every chance I get, I try to tell my children to drive safely and cautiously on the interstate. (Now that does not mean they're listening!) Just because the opportunity is there to drive seventy doesn't mean you have to. There's no need to act like we're rescue workers racing to to put out a fire! And to some people I know, that also means you get to drive seventy-five!
Umm . . . wait a minute while I slow down on this interstate! And to think that I'm speeding along at eighty miles an hour in a purple cast, all while typing this post with one finger!
Trying!
I am truly trying to join the ranks of other published writers! I do have this blog (Thanks for stopping by!) and now my very own website! But it is still under construction but will suffice until I learn more about how to design and manage it. Check it out at arsoleenwoolcock.com! If you have some advice for improving or know the technicalities of it, do share! See you and happy reading! Through Angel's Eyes is available! I need you to discuss the book with me and share your opinions about it all!

5. More writing
6. Friends
7. Writing (How did you guess?)
8. My grand-daughter
9. My laptop
10. Last year's gas prices (Man, when will we see some relief at the pumps?)
(Is that hail coming down. . . sounds like popcorn popping in a giant popper! Back to Through Angel's Eyes and my comfy, light, airy blanket in a comfortable position on my couch!)
***On a serious note, thanks to my children for helping out with typing as I make my online presence known!
See y'all, hopefully, on next week for the next post! Bye!
