We're in Orlando, Florida right now. Our current home is within about 100 yards of the Walt Disney World property, so - at night - we can see all the fireworks from our lawn. When I wake up in the morning, I hear the train whistle in the Magic Kingdom, and the horns of the ferries from the Ticket & Transportation Center (TTC) to the Magic Kingdom. And, during Disney marathon (running) events, I love to go outside to hear the pep rally and music that signals the start of each race.

My husband and I are both involved in publishing. His job is in the printing side of things. I write for traditional publishers, but I'm also an indie author. (If you're going to become an author, I strongly recommend going indie. The income is vastly better, and you have far more control over things like your book cover, distribution, marketing, and so on. If you'd like to understand how all of this works, Chris Fox has some wonderful free videos at YouTube, and his advice is excellent.)

When I'm not writing books, I'm an artist. I love to paint landscapes and draw coloring book pages. (August 2nd is National Coloring Book Day, so I need to complete another coloring book this week. Wheee! LOL)

And, of course, my husband and I visit Disney World at least once a week... usually two or three times. Epcot is our favorite park.

I'm kind of new to Seeker's Notes (around level 38), and I love the game, the artwork, the music, and the concepts behind the story.

But, playing on a Kindle Fire 8 HD...? I'm struggling not to feel frustrated with image contrast (the Ship is far too dark and the Mosaic can be far too light... in the same game session), and server delays that waste my finding tools.

On the plus side, I love having such helpful friends in the game. That means a lot to me.

So, for now anyway, Seeker's Notes is so very stylish, I'm still playing. It's not the only game I play, but it is lovely to look at.

And, as I'm typing this, I can hear parade music drifting over the trees from Main Street at Disney's Magic Kingdom. So life is pretty darned good, and I'd better get back to today's to-do list!
