Hubby added another tab titled “Gardens” to Book Basset to show off my mad photography skills. Just kidding. I am a terrible photographer, but the gardens were so pretty even rookies like me could take a few nice pictures. Last week I posted the pictures I took of the Quarryhill Botanical Gardens, and today I just posted the pictures from Cornerstone: Sunset magazine’s garden and test kitchen. Visiting the different gardens in my area have really been a lot of fun, but more importantly it keeps me from doing more projects around the house. Hubby is going to get a very false sense of relief. I am merely taking a break from projects. He will soon hear me saying to him,”Baby! I have an idea!” Man.. he hates those words. Today I am off to Ikea, so he will have at least five hours to relax. I don’t have any plans to buy furniture, so he is off the hook from putting anything together with instructions that make no sense whats-so-ever. I am super excited about having the meatball and chocolate cake for lunch today. I know the rules though. Not meatballs and chocolate cake until you tour the entire 20 miles on the first floor. YOU GOTTA EARN THOSE MEATBALLS!!!! If you want to scroll through some of my awesome pictures, click here. I had originally posted them on my other blog, Girls Bee Haven, and the gallery of pictures is a bit easier to go through, so you can check them out by clicking here as well.

The Egg Said Nothing
by Caris O’Malley
Genre: Literature & Fiction | Humor & Satire
FREE for a limited time
Meet Manny. He’s your average shut-in with a penchant for late night television and looting local fountains for coins. With eight locks on his door and newspapers covering his windows, he’s more than a bit paranoid, too.
His wasn’t a great life, but it was comfortable–at least it was until the morning he awoke with an egg between his legs. But what might have been a curse becomes a charm as this unlikely event leads him to an all night diner, where he finds inedible pie, undrinkable coffee, and the girl of his dreams.
But can this unexpected chance at love survive after the egg cracks and time itself turns against him, dead-set on rerouting history and putting a shovel to the face of the one person who could bring real and lasting change to Manny’s world?
