PrologueCassie rounded the curve of the street and pulled into the driveway, and there they were!
Those horrible neon pink flamingos, grinning at her from beneath the palm tree in the front yard. Just that morning, she’d deposited them in the trash receptacle, hoping that would be the end of them. Something told her she would never be rid of them.
Oh, what a thought!
As she climbed out of the car and stalked toward them, the horror of it buzzed around her like a swarm of gnats. The picture was a vivid one: Sitting on the back deck in her old age, sipping one of those terrible Southern beverages Zan was always experimenting with, her silver hair standing on end and frizzy from the Florida humidity. And poking out from beneath the dock … or peering at her from around the side of the house … or possibly standing tall in one of the large flowering plants … Those eyes. Those gawking, black eyes, just staring back at her, mocking her with their presence.
Cassie yanked the first one out of the ground where its hard plastic spike anchored it to the front yard, and she tossed it to the grass behind her. Just as she wrapped both hands around the beak of the second one, Zan’s laughter taunted her from across the street.
She turned her head slowly toward him, narrowed her eyes and stared him down, the distance between them bridged by a look her husband had come to know all too well.

Uh-oh sounds like Zan is in a heap of trouble LOL!
Hope you enjoyed this special spotlight!
Until later..... Be Blessed.

It is rather interesting for me to read the blog. Thanks for it. I like such themes and everything that is connected to them. I would like to read a bit more on that blog soon.
Hi Sandra! I loved Love Finds You in Snowball. Then I bought another copy for my sister. Can't wait to get your latest one. Take care.
The pink flamingos are hilarious. Recently our youth group held a flamingo fundraiser. For a $20 donation, the youth would plant a flock of flamingos in the yard of the sponsor's choice (not the sponsor's own yard, of course.)
Another donation would get the youth back there to remove the flamingos. Or for a mere $30 you could buy "flamingo insurance" to make your yard off limits.
Anyone else ever been involved in a fundraiser like this? We are fairly new to the church so thankfully no flamingos touched down on our lawn.
