2024!

 How can it be? Another year already. 

I had fun yesterday with some of my great=great grands. Granddaughter Melissa invited me to come to the church--fellowship hall only place big enough for us all--for gumbo and our usual game of Estimation.

This used to happen at my house, but the family has gotten too big.

Gumbo was great, loved the crab legs.

The great grands who were there and their kids:

Brandon and Cymone: Asher, Achilles, and Aurellia. (probably not spelled right.) Not sure about the u . 

Carolyn and Tyler: Avyanna, Jerimiah, and Elisha.

Missing was Aaron and Lyndsy: Chloe, Samuel and Grace.

We ate and played Estimation. I had a side game going on with Jerimiah. He'd come racing down a ramp and we'd shake hands when he reached me. 

Aurellia, who in the past looked at me like I was the Wicked Witch of the West, brought me plastic forks and knives. I think that is a break-through.

All had fun.

And we're off to the New  Year.

  This is not an  up=to=date recipe book for camping. it is a collection of the recipes I and my girls cooked on many camping trips. The girls always had the major part of putting the mels together. As a group, we camped in Rose Valley way above Ojai, campgrounds at the beach and other mountains, we camped with many other groups in a school's playground, on the baseball field on the Seabee base, and at a state park. We camped at n unimproved campground in Santa Paula, and many times at Camp Cielo in the Santa Barbar mountains. We did one exciting back packing trip in the Las Padres National Forest.

Once Again I'll Be Offering a Freebook

  Starting June 24 and going through June 28, INTERVENTION,  one of the Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery series will be free on Kindle. This one is set in a mountain lodge high in the mountains.  The idea came from visiting Camp Nelson in the mountains above Springville where I live. The lodge in my story is called Tapper Lodge and it only has similarities to Camp Nelson because for the story the lodge had to be much large to house all the characters. And yes, because it's Tempe Crabtree mystery, there is some Indian mysticism. Marilyn.

  To get free from May 6-through 10 Amazon.com: Murder in the Worst Degree (Rocky Bluff P.D. Mysteries Book 10) eBook : Meredith, F.M.: Kindle Store This is my favorite book in the Rocky Bluff P.D. series. One of my favorite characters, Officer Gordon Butler,  has a major role in this book.   Some of the suspects are old Seabee buddies of the victim who meet regularly at McDonald's for breakfast==just as many old veterans do in McDs across the country. When my husband was still alive, we often went to McD's for breakfast and visited with a group of vets. Hope  you'll take advantage of this sale. Marilyn writing as F.M. Meredith
