Hi all!
There’s not much happening around here. I am enjoying some of the stories on SOL, and on TV – I much enjoy the news. There’s a news item that made me chuckle. Something about a whole government shutting down because somebody thought is great to include illegal aliens in the budget for free medical care and the opposing party does not see it that way. Just a little advice from someone that is seeing the exact same thing unfolding in South Africa: Don’t allow illegal aliens to eat up you TAX money! You will end up not only bankrupt but paying for something YOU don’t get the benefit of. Focus on priorities that take the country forward and not backwards. Just my 5-cent worth.
And something else. One country has withdrawn from the G20 summit being held in South Africa. Why? Because they believe in fairy tales. Something about Afrikaners being killed in their thousands and those Afrikaners land and property being taken. I have not seen or witnessed such a thing. To me that is all just political illusions from very crafty politicians and their agendas to make more money for themselves.
Hmm... Let us take that specific country that is withdrawing from the summit and look at one of their prominent citizens and his wise words. (Rest his soul.) “It is one thing to sit and formulate ideas on hearsay, but it’s quite different to go out and SEE for yourself. And until the critics of your fine country adopt this policy – they will continue to be guided by ignorance.” (Spoken in a warm Texas accent while visiting South Africa – not once, but twice!)
It’s so funny that a President of one of the West’s leading countries, and himself being a billionaire, don’t have the money for an airline ticket to come and see for himself. What is he scared of? That the beef is better here than that of his own country?
I think that most of you can read between the lines and know who that president is. A good man – but living in an ivory tower shut out from the real world.
Sorry for the rant, but I can’t sit by and watch presidents of countries being misled by fake agendas.
Anyway, here’s Chapter 12 of Rosa Rio! Enjoy!
Wishing you all the best — until next week!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
Things seem to be back to normal around these parts — even my lost editor has returned!
And yes, Aardvark8, I’m sure it’s my editor… although, come to think of it, he doesn’t quite seem himself. (No comments in the edit this time!) Hmm… maybe I should follow your suggestion and call in the Men in Black to investigate… or perhaps send the Angels. Or Luigi.
For those of you who haven’t met Luigi in any of my stories, here’s a quick introduction. He’s usually not seen — but if you do see him, sorry, it’s already too late. He’s the guy in the long black leather coat and black hat, often carrying a violin case (though, trust me, he doesn’t play the violin).
Luigi speaks several languages, including Sicilian Italian, and he’s the one who makes my problems… go away. He’s also a kind and generous soul — he loves giving out gifts like cement boots, and he’s always willing to help anyone who qualifies for his generosity, to take a little visit to see the fish, dressed appropriately, of course, with those magnificent cement boots. He’s also quite skilled at extracting fingernails… or inserting bamboo slivers under them.
LOLOLOLOL!!!
Anyway — here’s Chapter 11 of Rosa Rio! Enjoy!
Wishing you all the best — until next week!

Hi all!
What a week! LOL!!! I started last weeks blog with that same words. Well, this week I can report that the garage door is sort of sorted. It looks like the insurance is going to pay for it! AND I did get to write. That’s the good news. Chapter 14 is finished and back from the editors. So is chapter 15, and chapter 16 is halfway. Phew, a productive week I must say.
It also seems to me like the aliens has abducted my one editor as after 4 days I get no response from him. He has chapter 15 to look at, but no word from him. Maybe the chapter was so bad that decided to go with the aliens to wherever aliens go. LOL! (Or he eloped with his hotrod.)
Well, here is chapter 10 of Rosa Rio. Maybe I can spring a surprise on you guys and girls and also publish chapter 11. No promises. But let’s see how the wind blows.
Here is chapter 10 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
P.S. The Aliens did not abduct my editor. He’s back! Yippee!
Hi all!
What a week! My sister-in-law’s garage door motor burned out and trying to get a replacement is like looking for chicken teeth! The best quote so far is 13K! Grrrrrr... Well, let the hunt for the motor begin.
As this problem is running its course I have not written one word on chapter 14. I did manage to add some romantic scene to the end of chapter 13 and as such the chapter is now complete. This week I will endeavour to get chapter 14 finished and out to the editors.
LOL! Using the word “endeavour” reminds me of a ring-tone I once had for my cell phone. It was not a sound or a song or such, but a deep voice of a “butler” saying: “Sir, someone is endeavouring to reach you by phone. Should I tell them to f**k off?”
Well that one lasted until my phone rang during a management meeting. I must say the meeting disintegrated in hysterical laughter. Even from the girls in attendance.
Here is chapter 9 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
Hi all!
Right, a little surprise. I thought it would be good to give you chapter 8 along with chapter 7, as the two chapters flow into one another.
Here is chapter 8 of Rosa Rio. Enjoy!
I wish you all the best! Until next week!
Bye 4 now!
