Yeah......I have my new aquarium and you can meet the new guys.  The two yellow ones are Mollies and I've named them the Bronte Sisters......Charlotte and Emily.  The black Molly is Charlie (for Dickens) and the silver Tetra is Nathaniel.  Yup, for Hawthorne.  Since they now reside in a writers studio, I figured that would be pretty appropriate.

I got the blue gravel for the bottom, two live plants, some driftwood and a thingy for them to swim through.  So they seem to be doing pretty well, and I sit here and watch them for minutes on end.

There's something truly soothing about just sitting and watching fish swim by.  The cats haven't spied this new addition to my studio yet.  But it's an enclosed system, with a cover on top.......so they can look but can't touch.

Ray continues to do well and I'd say he's back to normal.  We're still waiting to get results of the most recent blood work.

So before long, I'll be busy planning our trip to France for the fall.  And I have no doubt, that before long fall will be here.

Not much going on with my writing.  I've finished 200 pages on Book #2 and had decided to take a rest.  Next week I'll go over the first fifty pages and do an outline.  My contract states I have to send them that by June 1.  So I'm ahead of schedule.

I've been doing loads of reading the past couple weeks.  I just finished a great book that I wished had gone on and on.  Yup, it was that great and that entertaining.  So join me here next time, and I'll tell you all about it.

Till then, hope all is well with all of you..........
