Time Chiming

We have a lovely new clock--not new, but new to us. My brother-in-law brought us a clock that belonged to my mother-in-law. I love hearing it. It reminds me of her and makes me feel all warm.

Still revising the book for August. I'm wishing I could find a way to work in this clock. Maybe next book!

I've managed to work family names and places into books in the past, as well as my cat and my daughter's favorite doll, and my best-friend-from-high-school's renegade kitty. How many of you put real life into your books? I would never do anything hurtful, but I like to think that certain names or places or dear pets will live on as long as the pages do.

Clearly in a musing mood tonight!
