Happy Hump Day
I do have some hump day funnies for you, but first...
Check out this cover for the latest Guppy anthology:
Fish Out of Water.
The Guppies, if you don't know, are an online chapter of Sisters in Crime. Fish out of Water is the fourth Guppy Anthology and, if the previous books are any indication, it's going to be packed with great stories.
Oh, did I mention that includes my own "Of Roosters and Men."
Fish Out of Water is scheduled for release in early April. I'll post more information as it becomes available.
Now for a hump day funny...
Three friends from the local congregation
were asked, "When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation
members are mourning over you, what would you like them to say?"
Artie said, "I would like them to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man."
Eugene said, "I would like them to say
I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in
people's lives."
Al
said, "I'd like them to say, 'Look, he's moving!'"
Oh, that was so bad.
(I'm sorry.)
But here's something good.
Still Me..After All These Years is now available.
You can order the e-book or paperback at these sites.

Here's another funny...
Smith
climbs to the top of Mt.
Sinai to get close enough
to talk to God.
Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A minute."
Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A penny."
Smith asks, "Can I have a penny?"
The Lord replies, "In a minute."
Looking up, he asks the Lord. "God, what does a million years mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A minute."
Smith asks, "And what does a million dollars mean to you?"
The Lord replies, "A penny."
Smith asks, "Can I have a penny?"
The Lord replies, "In a minute."
I can't help it. I liked that one.
Here's a quick head-scratcher for you.
While you ponder that, here's your "aw".
Just a little Mama love.
That's all for today. Do you like the cover? Laugh at the funnies? "Aw" at the...um,"aw"?
Have a great week.
Strange Thought for Today:
I planted some bird seed. A bird came up.
Now I don't know what to feed it.

Hi LD - love the Guppy Anthology idea and the cover ... while your funnies are 'funny' !! Cheers and have a good day - Hilary
The Guppy Anthology has a great cover. So glad you're a part of it and a part of Still Me ... After All These Years. Loved the funnies today, will especially have to remember the last one. The photo is priceless!
Congrats! I love the cover.
Maybe it's a new hybrid - the chicken cow?
"Look, he moved." Giggle.
Seriously, congrats on your story in the Guppie anthology. I'll watch for it!
Cool, two books coming out! Congrats!
I giggled at the jokes and awww'ed at the picture. :)
Congratulations! That is one wicked cool cover.
Congrats on the upcoming release. That's exciting for you. Fun title.
You've been both busy and fruitful, Linda. Both strong covers. I liked especially the 'last words' funny. The moving bit struck home. Why? I had just finished reading an article on how in quite a few cases the human mind shows brain activity an hour or so after the heart has stopped beating. What can I say? Don't creamate me too quickly 😬
I absolutely LOVE the Fish Out of Water cover.
You've been busy!
I already pre-ordered the 'Still Me' book. Loved the funnies today and the ahh moment really was.
Hilary - Thanks. You have a great day.
Mason - I was lucky to be included in a couple great projects.

AS far as the birds I can only say that this bird eats just about anything. Forget the seeds.
