Dog Days of Summer

I am participating in Jeremy Bates' Dog Days of Summer blogfest. Jeremy wants to know what kind of summer we are having and here are the questions:

1) Describe your favorite summer activity thus far.

That would be taking a road trip around Norway with three of my children. One of whom had never seen Norway before. Check this out:

 
2) What activities do you plan before summer is over?

Absolutely nothing! I am totally worn out and plan to sit at my computer and write.

3) If you could have the ultimate vacation ever, where and what would it be?

To take my family on the Orient Express, see as much of Europe as possible and to have tons of money and time to do it with!

So what did you do this summer?  Head on over to Jeremy's place and see what others have been up to.

Don't forget to sign up for my "Unforgettable Blogfest" to celebrate the release of my new story published in the "Open Doors" Anthology, which is due out September 4th. Check it out HERE! Come back on Monday to hear about my unforgettable story.

Food,Free Books and Something Unforgettable

 Today we are digesting something spicy for dinner. Chorizo Chili Dogs. You all know that I am a left over specialist. My crock pot has prepared many yummy dishes this week, including Pot Roast and Beef Stew. So what to do with the left overs? Chili and Chorizo is what I came up with. I mixed my leftovers together, added some more diced tomatoes, more onion and chili spices. I grilled the chorizo hot dogs, put them in toasted buns and topped them with the chili, cheese and raw onion. Nummy!

Now for other news, I want to tell you about a Labor Day Blogfest and Book Fair. I am letting you know now so that you have plenty of time to sign up. Mark the dates and sign up now...Sunday September 2nd -Tuesday the 4th. (Some free eBooks included!) Wayman Publishing is holding a book fair in honor of Melynda Fleury--who has bravely been fighting diabetes and almost completely lost her eyesight--Wayman Publishing is offering unlimited free downloads of their top ten bestselling books to all entrants during this event!

I wanted to do something special as well so I am having my own blogfest starting on Monday the 13th of this month and lasting until Wednesday the 15th. For this blogfest I want you to post about some strange and unusual place or person you have visited. A place or person that has left a lasting impression, one that you can not forget. I am curious to see where your travels have taken you and who you have met there. Come back on Monday to hear about mine. Don't forget the Unforgettable Blogfest!
