"The Hidden"

It's that time again. This month's blog tour was for The Hidden by Kathryn Mackel. A supernatural/suspense novel. In many ways it reminded me of a Phyllis Whitney novel in that one of the stronger plot lines concerned the reuniting of a broken family. There were several plot lines that wove together nicely. The supernatural/spiritual aspect was not shoved in your face, but worked itself out quite nicely. It was a good read overall. I loaned it out to my sister and I am awaiting her response. Since I read a lot of supernatural/horror/suspense and she does not, I always like to know her opinion. Of course, she's been at the beach all week with my mother so I haven't had a chance to ask her about it.

On a personal note. My mother and sister went to the beach(and visiting relatives). They took all four of her kids. I hope they brought me back a devil dog from the Peter Pan Bakery. I got to go to my sister-in-laws pool today. I don't normally like to swim. But it felt wonderful. The kids had a good time. It was E.'s first real experience in a pool. I will spare you the horrors of having to buy a maternity bathing suit. I had to buy a very large size, knowing that I still have several months to go, and I already look full term. I am constantly being pummeled by four elbows, four knees, two heads, and two bottoms. It can get amusing at times. I've felt kicks in places I didn't know existed. But if the twins only weigh about 1 1/2 lbs now, I can't imagine what it will feel like when they weigh five lbs each.

Last night I was commenting on how good God has been to us this month(after splitcat came home with a $120 Walmart gift card to add to our tally). Then this evening I asked if anything exciting happened today since it was his last day of post planning. I knew he was getting Home depot gift card, and then he tells me he won a prize in a drawing. He won a week stay in Destin at a beach-front condo(when available over the next year). No, I'm not kidding. I laughed really hard. He said he was really hoping he wouldn't get it. But he did. God is so cool.
