Wow, big things up here on Mount Doom. It looks like it's going to be bought, and become a very large and impressive ski resort. Which is good, in that there'll be at least one restaurant up here, along with a store, which will be heaven for us. But it's also bad because there will be actual people here. A lot of people. I mean, they're building a big hotel, an RV park, more condos and more ski runs. They're even building another lodge farther down the mountain. They're also talking about doing a kind of dude ranch (I think) for summer guests so they can ride and fish and stuff. Year round activities for all. But you'd better be quiet when I want to go to bed or we'll send out the hounds.
The reason I know this is because the guy buying it came for dinner last night, and he made phone calls to the partners which I listened to unabashedly. No, we're not talking glass to the wall. He talked downstairs, right below my loft. I couldn't help it. Honest. And I took notes because I'm a damn good hostess and didn't want him to forget anything.
So, I'm going to enjoy the peace and quiet while it's still here. And write. Yes, I finally talked to my editor, and now I have my direction for the rest of the series. That's a very good thing. Especially because I go to plot group on the 17th.
Oh, and for the knitters amongst us - I'm working my first project on DPNs! Yee Haaw!
