Rain & Reading

Luckily it rained yesterday. But afterwards when the sun came out, it steamed up the concrete like it was a wet sponge.


I realized that I had not gone out since last Monday. It will probably be a full week before I do go out. 

Such is life in July in hot and humid Oklahoma.

Have you ever had a Swiss cheese and fresh sliced tomato grilled sandwich? I made that. It was pretty darned tasty. 

Spread a little butter/margarine on bread and layer it with cheese and tomato slices.

Since I haven't gone out, I'm having to get a bit creative with meals. Cleaning out the freezer and fridge while I'm at it. 

So I eat a lot of bean burritos, grilled cheese sandwiches, frozen meals and baked potatoes.

Little Miss Abi broke off one of my daisies jumping into the container. So I cut another one and brought them in to enjoy. 

She's such a toot, that Abi.

I finished reading all the Rick Mofina ebooks I had in my e-library, and started on another author and another series that a reader emailed me about.

The author is Scott Pratt. And the series is the Joe Dillard series. 

This is the first book in the series. I have ebooks 1-5.

Joe Dillard is a lawyer. Married to his high school sweetheart. Had two kids. 

The son is in college. The daughter about to leave for college.

He is tired of representing guilty people. 

In law school, he aspired to be a prosecutor. But once he got out of law school, he found that prosecutors are poorly paid. And with a family, he was going to have to bring in more money. 

So he became a defense attorney. But over the years, he's come to hate it. Seeing guilty people get off and go on to hurt others. 

Glimpsing the families of victims in the court room after he successfully frees the men who killed their loved ones.  

He wants out. He's decided to take one more case. And boy, is it a doozy!

I won't tell you more. But so far I'm really into the story line. 

 
In this heat, the dog days of summer, get yourself some good reads and try to stay cool till it's decent weather to go back out in. Which here will probably be sometime in October.

That's my plan anyway.

I guess I have lots of baked potatoes in my immediate future.
