Traveling home, we spotted this cloud formation.
I couldn't decide if it looked like a huge mushroom or Hiroshima!

To Write a Wrong
Daphne Beekman is Montague Moreland. Because women were not looked upon favorably as writers in 1887. So by day Daphne is a member of the Beeker Street Inquiry Agency. But by night, she pens mystery books that are best sellers, writing under a pseudonym.
Herman Henderson is well known for writing mysteries set in exotic locations. And is also Daphne's biggest competitor. He comes to the agency as a client, and so begins an adventure where two writers forge ahead with lots danger and romance.
This was a fun book. Turano is known for her witty dialogue. To Write a Wrong is a good clean book, a delightful historical romance. While it is second in a series, it can certainly be read as a stand alone book.
I received a complimentary ebook copy from the publisher, through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Cast Iron
This old iron has served many purposes. I am sure many many years ago it was a helpful tool for the homemaker's job of ironing.
I am so thankful for the conveniences of electricity that has made work light.But that is not the story for today. Today, I wanted to share with you how WE use this old beat up iron.
I found this old iron about 20 years ago. It was a bit rusted up, so my hubby had it dipped so that the iron was like new again. I'm not sure what it was dipped into, but my hubby works with sheet metal and iron, so he knew how to make it look pretty.
One day while he was preparing some meat we could not find the meat pounder. So he grabbed this old iron, covered the meat with wax paper, and used it as a tenderizer. And that is how we have used it ever since.
A couple of nights ago, I needed to flatten some chicken tenders for a recipe.

After preparing the meat, you can bake or fry the chicken. It really is an easy way to use the chicken. Whether it is tenders or Chicken breasts. It also is good for venison, as it helps to tenderize it.

A Bow in the Sky
This morning as I was taking out the mail, I saw this beautiful rainbow across the street.

My beautiful deck
The first time we saw this house, I fell in love with this deck. You see, at our old house, we never had much of outdoor space. So this deck really appealed to me.
My husband build a stainless steel table for his grills, and we bought a Grill Hut from Sam's club
Which has served us very well over the years.
But lately we have noticed that the deck was starting to have problems. The house was built in 1998, so we are assuming that the deck was put in sometime about 20 years ago. The boards were separating, and there were holes developing on the planks.
We decided to tear them out, hiring a couple of guys to break it down. So my beautiful deck is gone.
Now we have to decide if we will replace it with another wood deck, pavers or grass.
Has anyone had success with any of these kinds of replacement?

Historical landmark
On a recent trip, we visited the restored home of Lt. Col. J. Jones, built in the 1700's.
Lt. Col. Jones was a personal escort to Martha Washington, our first Presidents First Lady, when she visited Pennsylvania.
This home is located in Morgantown, PA.
It's always interesting to find historical landmarks whenever we travel.
