Friday 56 #38 & Book Beginnings #15 ~ Ashlynn’s Dreams by Julie C Gilbert

Posted on January 30, 2015 by fundinmental

Welcome everyone and I hope you are keeping warm. Mr Wonderful and I posed for this photo in front of our warm and cozy cape cod style home in Rochester, New York. We lived there for ten years. Within a month of moving to Rochester in 1998, they had a blizzard that shut down the town and the national guard was called in. I was not a stranger to snow and ice and it was fun…for a while. Then I remembered why I moved away. Our goal was ten years and back to the sunny climate of the south. We made it!

Today, here in Florida, we are having sunny skies and the temp is supposed to go up to the high 60s.

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.The only rules are to grab a book (any book), turn to page 56 or 56% in your ereader and find any sentence or a few ( no spoilers) that grabs you and post it.

Please join Rose City Reader every Friday to share the first sentence or so of the book you are reading along with you initial thoughts about the sentence, impressions of the book, or anything else the opener inspires.

Please include the title of the book and the author’s name.

ASHLYNN’S DREAMS by Julie C Gilbert

I love this wonderful cover, don’t you?

Cover artist: Timothy Sparvero

.(45% in Kindle).Nadia and I suddenly stood alone in the black space of her mind.

“Jillian! What are you doing here? Am I asleep?”

“Dr Devya knows! Your momma better leave right quick.”

~~~~~~~~~~~.

(Book Beginnings).

The synopsis is the first paragraph of the book, so here is an additional little tease.

Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

SYNOPSIS

Before she was kidnapped, Jillian Marie Antel Blairington was just an average bright, brave, headstrong child. She was excited for life in a new house with her Momma and new Daddy. Afterward, she’s all that … and so much more. Held in a scientific facility, Jillian discovers her past-a family she never knew and a power she doesn’t understand. With her ability now activated, she can enter and even shape a person’s dreams. Jillian’s been kidnapped, and her Gift has been triggered, so she can locate and save Benjamin Connelly, a brother she never even knew she had. She’d better master this strange ability quickly, though, because her life isn’t the only one at stake. Her babysitter, Danielle Matheson, is being held as a hostage to ensure Jillian’s full cooperation. Slowly, Jillian begins to learn more about her captor and the other genetically altered children held at the facility.

Join Jillian as she tries to survive the training being forced upon her, find her unknown brother, escape with Danielle, and work her way back to a normal life once more.

Friday 56 #37 & BB #14 ~ Road Trip and The Supernatural

Posted on January 23, 2015 by fundinmental

The first of the week, we took a road trip over to Biloxi, Mississippi. We had some great weather, in the low 70s, sunny and warm. We love this quaint little town. We took some beautiful photos and did a little gambling. We also, stopped by practice for the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. I love football, so I will get in my last fixes before the season comes to its climax in the Super Bowl. Do you like football or have a favorite college or pro football team?

The Friday 56 is hosted by Freda’s Voice.

I have been reading and reading and reading.

I finish one book and immediately begin on another.

I can’t seem to stop myself long enough to write the reviews.

GROWL by Ashley Fontainne

When evil arrived, all of Mississippi heard it.

I love this awesome cover that tells me there is a monster in the swamp.

Who will be its victim?

.(page 56 in paperback).Another thing Meemaw enjoyed was passing her skills on to me. After all, she’d say, that’s what one generation is supposed to do for the next one – bestow knowledge to the younger family members.
~~~~~~~~~~~(Book Beginnings)

The synopsis is the first paragraph of the book, so here is an additional little tease.

Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~

SYNOPSIS

My name is Sheryl Ilene Newcomb. And yes, my initials are S.I.N. A funny little piece of whimsical humor my parents found amusing when I arrived.

Then, it turned out to be true. Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started the summer I turned nine. But the day we realized there was a problem, and no turning back, was a week before I started my senior year at Junction City High. The day the fangs and claws appeared and the monster inside of me emerged.

When mutilated corpses appeared near a pile of brush down by Caney Creek, everything changed. Because evil woke up and growled, its ominous rumblings heard by every living thing in Locasia County, Mississippi.

I have been to Mississippi lot of times, but never in the swamp.

Have you been?

Goodbye 2014 & Hello 2015

Posted on January 1, 2015 by fundinmental

We ushered out 2014 by playing some golf and ushered in 2015 by watching some football.

Life is good. 🙂

I am looking forward to the new year, but am sad that football season is almost over.

Today, the Big Ten held their own, with Wisconsin and Michigan State wins.

Unfortunately, Michigan was not in the playoffs.

BUT, if you noticed my golf “uniform”, I was thinking GO BLUE, while waiting for confirmation that Jim Harbaugh is now our new coach.

I am very excited and looking forward to next season.

WOLVERINES!!

And now, I am watching Oregon and Florida State, but I am really looking forward to the Sugar Bowl, Alabama vs Ohio State.

Since Ohio State is Michigan’s nemesis and Mr Wonderful is Alabama Alumni ~ ROLL TIDE.

Happy New Year

My Adventures – Christmas on the Gulf Coast

Posted on December 15, 2014 by fundinmental

THE FUNDINS HAVING FUN!!!

Round one of our golf outings was my lowest score in a very long time.

I hit 100 on the nose and did 44 strokes on the back nine. YAY!

We also watched a lot of football and decorated for Christmas.

It seems like I just keep adding this and adding that.

What have you been up to?

My Adventures #15 – Thunder on the Gulf

Posted on August 24, 2014 by fundinmental

The weather has been beautiful, but very hot here on the Gulf. That does not stop us from enjoying outdoor activities.

There is always something going on here in our little piece of paradise:

Where thousands live like millions wish they could!!!

This weekend, Flora-Bama is sponsoring the 2014 Thunder Run Superboat Grand Prix.

The Gulf Coast Powerboat Association has put together the inaugural dual race format.

There are two races, in two cities, in two states – Orange Beach, Alabama and Pensacola, Florida.

Mr Wonderful and I went to downtown Pensacola, where the event was being held for day three of the Flora-Bama Shootout.

These are some of the fastest and biggest power boats in the world.

There are many classes of boats, but the main styles are Vee Bottom Boats and Catamarans.

The air is thick with moisture, making it hard to breath and we are immediately dripping wet. It is the cheapest sauna I have ever been in. LOL

We take our time as we walk through downtown and checking out all the action.

I love boats and I love speed. These amazing power boats put on a performance that had my heart pounding and my body vibrating with the roar of the engines. To watch the rooster tails shoot out of the water as the boats thunder by makes me wonder what it would be like riding along on race day.

Even though it was only practice, they put on a great show.

We wandered through Race Village, able to check out the boats up close and personal.

Music was playing and a good time was had by all.

Mr Wonderful freelances as a producer/director for the Pensacola Blue Wahoos, our minor league baseball team. They delayed the game today, Sunday, due to Thunder on the Gulf. He will be going back to the races, then working the ballgame, so I chose not to go. That’s why I am sitting in my recliner, watching football (yeah, it is finally football season, lol) and blogging to you.
