Checking Out E-Books Online!
So-- I can now check out e-books from my local library. How about that?
There's a special website/application called OverDive that facilitates the overseeing of the files I guess and as long as your local library has a copy of the book and you have a library card, you can check out e-books and read them on various devices. All with the power of the Internet. You may not even have to leave your home!
I can read them on my PC or on my iPad in my Kindle app.
My friend Nancy told me about it a few months ago, but I had trouble figuring things out. But Amazon has a tutorial that got me sorted and now I'm waiting for the notification that an e-copy of the book I want is available.
I'm well on my way to reaching that 26-book goal now!
Have you heard of this? Used it? What are your thoughts?

Outlander is back....and available
Back in September, I posted about the book/tv series Outlander. At the time, I was only able to view the first three episodes of it. I borrowed the book and read through all 600+ pages in a matter of days.
I've been waiting patiently for the series to appear on DVD via Netflix since then and the first two discs arrived in my mail last Friday.
I rewatched the first three eps and proceeded eagerly through the next five. Sunday ended up rainy so no lawn mowing. What better way to spend and dreary drippy day than watching a visually stunning tv show. The actors are pretty too.
Caitriona Balfe as Claire Randall and Sam Heughan as Jamie Fraser.
I have to say they couldn't have arrived at a better time as all my other shows have wound to a close and I needed something new to tease and teach the muse.
So it's the epic tale of a woman sucked two hundred years into the past through standing stones in Scotland while on her second honeymoon following the close of WWII. She must learn to navigate life in the Scottish Highlands in the 18th century while being suspected of being an English spy.
Hope your weekend was as relaxing and enjoyable as mine!

Still under the weather...
Been reading and resting as much as possible. I'm pretty sure I'm staying ahead of it, but my immune system's fight is wearing me out. I scarcely spared a thought for today's post until the last minute. So I'm gonna peruse past images and post some favorites.
GI Snow... part of our Redneck Gingerbread House scene.
A trip to the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi, TX.
A trip to the beach in Rockport, TX.
Being a fan girl--having a get together with like-minded friends and celebrating the love of our fandom.
Getting together with dear writer friends in OKC.
One of many, many, many Friday night football games with the marching band.
A trip to the Fort Worth Zoo, with my DD.
Line-dried laundry...
A Studio B Studio tour in Nashville a couple years back. Awesome.
What can I say...
Definitely a day worth celebrating!
My beautiful children. My daughters don't love their brother at all, do they??
