Cooper The Puppy!!!
Puppy ownership has been filled with laughter and love during this past month here are some of coopers funny moments…

My daughter picks him up and puts him in a box, places another box in front of his and sits in it herself… she says “Look mom we are on a train.” Cooper stayed in the box happily chugging along until she took him out.

A fly few into the house from the porch. Cooper jumped up from his sleeping spot on the couch, tilted his head to the side, barked at it like it was the intruder it was, and chased it back outside.

Cooper starts barking at something in my bedroom….I go to investigate… he has found my vibe and some how turned it on. He is standing above it barking.

I have now started growling at my kids when they do something wrong.?.? puppy training taken in reverse.

Cooper loves my neighbor and when ever possible will sneak in their door to get his head scratched. Luckily my neighbor adores him too.

Cooper barks at one of my neighbors no matter what he is doing or how far away he is… Does Cooper know something I don’t about this man?

Cooper loves to hop into the bath when I am taking one. He also adores the blow dryer.

Copper has a fondness for picking up anything of my daughters and carrying it around with him when she is not here…. We have only had one casualty… poor ooh ooh… he lost an eye.

Cooper hates to go out in the rain to pee… he has resorted to going outside standing under the covered area and peeing on the side of the walk way. When I go out further into the rain and call him, he looks at me like I am nuts, turns around and runs back inside.

Anyway… I am sure there will be more puppy adventures to come!

Hugs,
Lacy.

One of those moments...
Yesterday I had one of those moments...

It was an amazing sunny weekend here (yes we do get sun in Seattle). My kids and I spent both Saturday and Sunday out in the sun playing ball, riding bikes, drawing with chalk on the sidewalk, cooper the puppy hanging out along side us.

Sunday afternoon after the heat had peaked and we had come inside to cool off, get a late lunch, and watch a little TV, I sat on the couch, the dog cooper tucked up next to me out cold. My son came up and cuddled on the other side, my daughter came and sat on my lap leaning back with her head tucked under my chin. We sat there all four of us watching zoombafoo.

I realized quite suddenly, I was in that moment totally and completely content and happy. Just realizing this in normal times is amazing, but with all the job layoff stress I have been going through it brought tears to my eyes. Tears of joy.

Huge grin.

I just had to share.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.

A Busy Good Few Weeks
The last few weeks have been filled with lots of good things. My mom came out for a visit, I got a new puppy, I went to SEAF and I sold my short story Decent Exposure to Harlequin for their SPICE BREIFS line.

I love when my mom is here. Living so far from family I sometimes forget what it is like to have someone there to lean on. My mom and dad are wonderful sweet people and I just love when they come to visit. We spent most of the time with my kids and playing with the new puppy, but on the last night it was just me and mom. We went out to the local pub and had a beer and sat and talked about investments and life and other stuff. It was such an amazing time.

While my mom was here I attended SEAF. The photo of me is from that night. I love this event. The people watching is what inspires me the most. couples, singles, groups and friends, kinky, vanilla, straight, bi, gay, old and young and any other orientation all together to celebrate erotic. The burlesque was amazing to watch.

The most wonderful news though was that I sold my short story DECENT EXPOSURE to Harlequin. I love writing for this line and seeing the first short I wrote for them just came out in print in NAUGHTY BITS as the first story in the book I am simply delighted to be still writing for them... I wonder what my cover will be like for this one. Here is the PublishersMarketPlace blurb for this sale.

Lacy Danes's DECENT EXPOSURE, involving a woman's and man's first in-person encounter into dominance and submission after meeting and playing online, to Susan Pezzack-Swinwood at Harlequin Spice Briefs, by Roberta Brown of the Brown Literary Agency
.

Grin.

Hugs and Kisses,
Lacy.
PS. My new puppy is named Cooper (my kids named him after my car). He is 15 weeks old and a Havana Silk Dog.

Home sick putting together my play list...
I am home sick today and have been working on my play list for the story I am currently working on. I came across this song. The lyrics are truly beautiful poetry. I thought I would share them and the song.



~~
Strange how you know inside me
I measure the time and I stand amazed
Strange how I know inside you
My hand is outstretched toward the damp of the haze

And of course I forgive
I've seen how you live
Like a phoenix you rise from the ashes
You pick up the pieces
And the ghosts in the attic
They never quite leave
And of course I forgive
You've seen how I live
I've got darkness and fears to appease
My voices and analogies
Ambitions like ribbons
Worn bright on my sleeve

Strange how we know each other

Strange how I fit into you
There's a distance erased with the greatest of ease
Strange how you fit into me
A gentle warmth filling the deepest of needs

And with each passing day
The stories we say
Draw us tighter into our addiction
Confirm our conviction
That some kind of miracle
Passed on our heads
And how I am sure
Like never before
Of my reasons for defying reason
Embracing the seasons
We dance through the colors
Both followed and led

Strange how we fit each other

Strange how certain the journey
Time unfolds the petals
For our eyes to see
Strange how this journey's hurting
In ways we accept as part of fate's decree

So we just hold on fast
Acknowledge the past
As lessons exquisitely crafted
Painstakingly drafted
To carve ourselves instruments
That play the music of life
For we don't realize
Our faith in the prize
Unless it's been somehow elusive
How swiftly we choose it
The sacred simplicity
Of you at my side

~~~
I hope you enjoyed.
Lacy.
