Craving a good read? Here's your chance! Download the full short story, "Family Treed." Trust me, it's a hilarious yet nail-biting night out that will leave you craving more!
The Kern River flows by Hart Memorial Park just northeast of Bakersfield, California. The tree is on a small island in the river and someone has equipped it with a rope for swinging into the water. I am not sure how deep the water is, however, in the “swimming hole”. Copyright by WyoJones. All rights reserved. Used with permission.
Even though I wake up in the morning feeling like I got pooped over a cliff, I still expect good things from my days (once I get past that painful wake-up period).

Does your days (or nights) surprise you with the unexpected? Have you ever found yourself in the stream and not sure how you got there? I love comments (and advice, tips, etc) so much I enter them into my monthly drawing for an AnaBanana gift basket ($25 value). I announce a winner the first blog post of the new month. And that’s THIS post! [Insert cheers and applause here]
And the October gift basket winner is…..
Tamie Dearen!
Congratulations! I’ll be in touch about how to get your gift basket!
Perilously yours,
Pauline
And in the vein of the unexpected….
