Picoblog Question – 2020 – Post #32

Fall begins on September 22. How will you enjoy the longer (or shorter) evenings?

My two cents, but please share yours:

Since September in Texas is still plenty hot, I plan to enjoy tall glasses of icy apple cider in the evenings, while reading an entertaining novel or two.

How about you?

Book Corner – 2020 – Post #8

What are you currently reading, and are you enjoying your books?

My two cents, but please share yours:

For fiction, I’m starting In the Blood by Lisa Unger, this month’s selection for my neighborhood book club.

For nonfiction, I’m finally reading Save the Cat! by Blake Snyder. I can already see why it became a classic for fiction writers.

Picoblog Question – 2020 – Post #31

With the arrival of September, how will you celebrate the change in the seasons?

My two cents, but please share yours:

I’m shifting to my fall comfort-food recipes. First on the list is homemade meatloaf made in the microwave.

I use any of several regular family recipes, place the chosen mixture in a microwave-safe casserole dish, and–here’s the trick–form the meatloaf into a circular-wreath shape, including the hole in the middle. Then I nuke the meatloaf for 15 minutes, check it, and nuke for a few minutes more as needed.

How about you?

What movie would be perfect to watch in September?

My two cents, but please share yours:

This month, I’m going with the haunting romance The Lake House (2006). This touching film features Sandra Bullock, Christopher Plummer, and Keanu Reeves.

Happy Labor Day – 2020!

Wishing all of my friends, near and far,

Enjoy the Celebration!

Cheers, Ashley
