At long last Mr. Munro has chosen a barbeque. He actually picked one last weekend after I said enough. I was sick of hearing about the features of the different models. He had to wait until yesterday to pick it up and came home all eager to unpack the barbeque and try it out. Minutes later he stomped inside very unhappy because they’d left all the nuts and bolts out of the boxes. Today he picked up the necessary nuts and bolts, put his barbeque together and tried it out. The first meal was delicious. The Black Beauty barbeque passed its first test.
I’ve finished polishing one of my manuscripts and emailed it off for a beta-read. I’m up to chapter four of the second book and hope to complete the manuscript and get it off to my editor this weekend. I must admit it will be good to get back to writing again. I’m sick of editing and polishing!
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. We’re doing the family thing for most of the weekend - lots of visits and cups of tea 
That is fantastic news about the BBQ. We really need to get a new one ourselves, but we’ll wait for summer now.
And congratulations on finishing the manuscript! I haven’t written a word in two weeks. I need to get back on the horse.

I’m happy he finally made up his mind and got one. Now that the weather is permitting it, I hope you all get to enjoy it.

by Amy Gallow October 26th, 2007 at 3:42 pmI think hunger introduced the second one after women’s liberation arrived, looking at history. The rise of the backyard bbq occurred at the same time as bra-burning became fashionable, but it could just be coincidence.
Congrats on finishing the manuscript. Polishing and Editing drives me crazy some days too.
I haven’t written anything in over a week and tomorrow I’m going to an EC book signing in Michigan.
Have a great weekend, I’m glad your hubby found his dream barbecue
