Pic from Coast to Coast am ~ Stan Deyo sent us a couple illustrations from his book, Cosmic Conspiracy, to accompany his presentation. The first is of a 'mothership'-- huge in size, it would have a psychological impact as it hovered over cities. ~ millennium-ark.net/Podcast/101020.C2C/101020.C2C.html ~ Evening purrs, my lissome and lucky Felines, oooh release the fire! Release the Kougaress during this Full Moon in Aries. Some say it’s the Harvest Moon, others the Hunter Moon... or, it’s time for this Big Cat shift into the Huntress and seek out the new and discard the old... three days ago, the moon blazed orange as a pumpkin on the early morning horizon... a couple of days ago, the moon luminesced, a corn yellow color... the harvest is coming to a close... it’s time to celebrate with bonfires and enjoy the crisp cool nights before the dark cold of winter. ~~~
Oh, those invisible jets... this afternoon, the Kougaress was outside for a short time... the day was absolutely lovely... and she’d just cleaned off the top of her makeshift container for mail order packages... on her return she ran over what sounded like a black walnut... however the trees didn’t produce much this year... still, moi wanted to know because why have an unexpected flat tire... anyway, she heard the sound of a jet and followed it with her gaze... a military jet flew at low altitude due south, and not all that fast... however, the sound of the engines indicated they were nuclear powered... anyhoo, moments later, there was the sound of another jet, the same kind of jet, or similar... despite a relatively clear blue sky, nope, it could not be seen... and it was traveling westward... then, another jet flying west... and again, it could not be seen... when it should have been visible... yeah, tell this Big Cat that type of tech doesn’t exist. Sure-meow, she’ll believe you. And not her own eyes. ~~~
Yowls of commentary... this Big Cat doesn’t understand the hatred humanity seems to have for itself. In these time so-called authorities demand that folks in wheelchairs get up and walk, demand they follow orders... it doesn’t matter if the individual in the wheelchair CAN’T stand up... and, it doesn’t matter if that individual attempts to explain their health circumstance... they get tazered, they get dumped out... some of these folks are seriously injured, or they are murdered by this horrific abuse. THESE are not isolated examples. It’s happening more and more everyday. And, this is only an example, a microcosm for how humanity is currently treating itself. It’s like chopping the legs off a cow and then demanding the poor thing stand up. We’re all against animal cruelty. Why aren’t we against human cruelty? Really, this Big Cat does not understand. She DOES NOT understand these times at all, in that regard. ~~~~~~
2:12 am... 3.33 am... 4:44 am... 12:12 am... 2:12 pm... 12:12 am... WOW! The next few days must be turning points as far as the year, 2012, goes... there are some nasty, nasty trends happening, put into place by ‘those’ in high level positions who care nothing for humanity, who care nothing about you. ~~~~~~

Part 662 ~Sylva made a show out of gradually tasting the nummy salad. “Mmm-mmm, that is so good.” Zeke’s undivided attention was working its magic on her, no doubt. After he took a large bite, obviously savoring, Sylva ate a bread stick that had a rich yeasty flavor. “You are so spoiling me. And, I so hope you continue. No pressure,” she added, then smiled. When had she ever felt this good? Except as a kid when she’d run the neighborhood, and simply lived. The glint in her cowboy’s eyes reassured her that he enjoyed her as much as she enjoyed him. Zeke held out another spoon of the salad. His Sylva’s eyes gleamed as she flirtatiously took the bite. He hadn’t realized it, but in the back of his mind, he’d been concerned she wouldn’t know how to handle his family, being in their presence this way. He surely was going to keep encouraging his woman. He felt all too good surrounded by his loved ones and being with his bride. As he chewed on a thick strip of bacon, Zeke watched her glance around. “There’s such a big difference being here... and... well... everyone seems to truly enjoy each other.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 661 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true... Moonfire kisses from the Kougar...
Witching hour raorrrs, my fab-sexy, moon-bathing Big Cats... earlier this afternoon the nearly full moon hung high in the eastern sky... the Kougaress always adores seeing the moon during the day... she’s gorgeously mystical and ephemeral... ~~~
Stark raving mad... the Kougaress had that phrase pop into her head... she hasn’t heard that spoken for awhile... maybe she just doesn’t travel in those circles anymore... be that as it may... isn’t that a perfect phrase for these times? And, for what most likely lies ahead? Okay, after an internet search... there was a short-lived TV show and a movie with that title... but here’s the best entry on the front page ~ stark. raving. mad. mommy.Just click on the badge above, and scroll down to "stark. raving. mad. mommy." Then click "I like this blogger." You like me, you really like me! ...~ starkravingmadmommy.com ~ ~~~
Erotic sixth sense... the Kougaress saw this phrase today... how utterly purrrfect! And, she must use it... of course, it works for her current WIP... so, what is your erotic sixth sense? ~~~
Soul-killing... the Kougaress heard this phrase today used in connection with the loss of our freedoms... and that is exactly how she felt growing up whenever she was oppressed and suppressed. Imagine trying to live in a world without freedom... every moment would be soul-killing to the max. ~~~
Oh, those cute synchronicities... as the Kougar typed her heroine’s name, Kandace, a woman named Candy called into Coast to Coast am, nighttime internet radio... and today, as a Candace was a caller on a daytime internet radio show. Yes, this Big Cat author will take that as a signal from the universe to continue penning. ~~~
4:44 am... 4:44 pm... 12:12 am... are the angels gathering for 2012? Or, do Sedona and Volcano want more the Kougar’s writing time? Or... ~~~~~~

Part 661 ~ Sylva eagerly forked in the portion of squash Zeke had placed on her plate. Once he’d explained what it was, she’d been even more willing to eat it. “Does your mom have other family favorites she grows?” Zeke finished his last bites of fried potatoes before answering. “Mom has several other favorites. We all do. Though, we don’t spend as much time in the garden and greenhouse. Several of our ranch families garden with her. It’s like a community. You should see all the varieties of pepper. And,” Zeke held up a spoon loaded with a purple mush, “the potatoes.” Zeke grinned at his woman’s curious, but cautious expression. “Purple potato,” he explained. “Try it.” His Sylva didn’t hesitate, wrapping her sweet sexy mouth around his offering. As she slowly chewed, her eyelids closed pleasurably. He watched her relish the flavor. Damn, it was good to see her enjoy. “I’ll probably be saying it forever. You’ve got the best food here.” She smiled. “Anything else you want me to try, handsome cowboy?” Zeke ignored the heat-seeking missile his loins sent to his cock. Instead, he spooned a small portion of his mother’s creamy carrot salad and held it out to her. ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 660 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

May your most romantic dreams come true... Witching Hour Raorrrs and kisses from the Kougar...
After the Witching Hour meows, my magickal and memorable KitKats... the moon is nearing full and she is gorgeous, especially with a planet companion and gauzy clouds circling her... this Big Cat is thinking Jupiter is beside her... but, she didn’t do a search... Witchy Woman... she’s got the moon in her eyes... the Kougaress just heard that wonderfully evocative Eagles song... it’s so like her current WIP, Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds... and, yes, progress is being made. So far, the witchy story is at about 45,000. There is simply something so marvelous and feminine-powerful about witches, or the archetype of a witch, their true herstory, their connection to Mother Earth and her elements, their affinity with animals and plants, their ability to survive generation after generation and age after age, despite the almost constant persecution. Their ability to help with healing is legendary. One way their strength has been demonstrated is by the emergence of the Wiccan religion in this Big Cat’s lifetime. ~~~

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 660 ~Sylva savored the buttery cornbread muffin. Zeke had fed her the first bite. They’d romantically gazed into each other’s eyes, then he’d filled their plates. Now they sat, their knees practically touching, and ate with slow gusto, their plates balanced on their laps. The family hubbub around Sylva felt comforting, as well as disconcerting. Laughter and the sounds of eating lifted her soul. Yet, she remained a stranger in a strange land. It would take time, she kept reminding herself. And, so far, it was all good. “Try this, darlin’.” Zeke held up a strip of something Sylva couldn’t identify. Zeke watched his woman’s eyes cloud with uncertainty. “What is it?” He grinned teasingly. “Give it a try. Just a nibble. One tiny nibble.” His Sylva huffed a breath. “If it doesn’t taste good,” she warned, “or if it’s something icky.” Zeke wiggled the noodle-like piece. “Icky?” She gave him a brief scowl. “Disgusting.” Still, she slowly leaned forward and daintily took his offering. “You’re makin’ me feel darn guilty, my woman.” His Sylva’s expression was pained before she got a full taste of their family’s favorite squash. His mother kept it growing year round. “Oh, yummy. Some kind of vegetable.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 659 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Late Monday into Tuesday meows, my rolling and rambunctiously sensual Big Kittens... a strange weather day that threatened a storm, but only produced some nice rain for a short time... what an authorly busy day, but also a devilishly fun day, much of it devoted to Halloween and the paranormal... yowsa, there’s so much crammed into the flying-by days, this Big Cat loses track... However, when she was penning away on Kandy Apple and Her Hellhounds... like the touch of a wand this synchronicity occurred. Nick Redfern was on Coast to Coast am, nighttime radio. He wrote Lair of the Beasts: Beware of the Devil Dogs ~ Hounds of Hell. Even though, he talked about his most recent book, he’s a prolific author, still, hellhounds are hellhounds, except when they’re different breeds. ~~~

As posted yesterday: 1:11 am... 1,110 posts on KOUGAR KISSES... purrs hmmmm... well, roars, guess what? Yesterday, Angelic Forecast ~ #111, was also written. Weekly Angelic Forecast from VolcanoStraight from the Carnal Cherub himself...Angelic Forecast ~ #111The following week, and weeks, will highlight ‘wrongs and wrongdoings’ that have never been seen in the light of day before. Simultaneously, those who are truly good of heart will be highlighted. GOOD will be showcased. The challenge is to know which is which, and what is really what. Discernment is your friend. That ‘knowing’ in your gut is your best ally. Also, this week will not only race by like an Olympic sprinter, but seek the highest mountaintop, then descend down into the lowest valley. To keep some balance go with the flow. Go with the ride. But, know, it is only a ride and look for the opportunities that will be available. The more unusual the opportunity, the more likely it is to be your right opportunity. *Fraud* is the word for this week. The massive level of fraud perpetrated against Americans will be exposed more and more. And from surprising sources. The time has come to trust those who are ‘truly’ trustworthy. What has been deemed ‘too big to fail’ is not only failing, it is sinking like the Titanic and perpetrating every fraud on the way down. Beware. Prepare. And care about others. That is this week’s sacred path. Angelic blessings from Volcano & Sedona~~~~~~MORE...Volcano’s Angelic Forecast for this week ~ http://sirenbookstrand.blogspot.com ~ ~~~~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~ Dragons Ahead... Hopping on the Bandwagon by Pat CunninghamThe theme of the month appears to be Dragon Scales, so I’m adding my take to the pile. Enjoy.****The hairs along Kendra’s forearms prickled when the man stalked into her shop, and not just because he was the most attractive male she’d seen in a long time. That strong, angular face had a scowl on it, which tainted its handsomeness. Normally she didn’t go in for the shaved-head look, but she found the flame tattoos that decorated his skull intriguing. Her disquiet stemmed from the way he walked. It took her a moment to put her finger on it. He moved the way a cobra would if it had legs. The way the Serpent would have moved through Eden, before God consigned him to his belly. And he was headed straight for the counter. AND! The Kougar is penning a dragon shifter scene for her blogging day at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS, Tuesday, the 19th. Here’s the opening ~ Dusk claimed the sky as if silver droplets infused the air. Zrykur commanded the color from his scales, and knew he all but disappeared. Even the super-tech crowd ensconced in their underground compounds couldn’t detect his presence. Dragons were rarely captured and dissected, given their scales redirected beams, from microwave to laser. ~~~

God, she hoped her instincts, and her intuition, were right. “How about you two go chow down. I made certain all of my husband’s and Zeke’s favorite dishes were prepared. That is, except for the walnut salad. Those are in scarce supply.” Ginger paused, bestowing a motherly smile on Zeke. “We have all the time in the world to get to know one another.” Ginger let go of Sylva’s hand as Nevada squeezed her waist with one arm, and pulled her tight against him. Zeke claimed his Sylva’s shoulders once again. “Besides,” his dad growled, “I’m feeling downright possessive of my wife.” Bending down, he planted a long kiss on her cheek. “Walnut salad is the last thang on my mind, sweetmeat.” Zeke watched his dad steer his mom toward the beef brisket before he swung his bride before him. They smiled at each other for long golden moments. “Anything yer hankerin’ for in particular?” he asked. “We’ll start there, darlin’.” After giving him a sassy grin, she murmured, “Hankerin’?” A glint mischief entered her sky-blue eyes. “Oh, yeah. I am hungry.

sun-soaked, but windswept tropical island... I’m inside an elegant room where no luxury is denied... I’m lying on a huge bed with a white satin bedspread that’s thick and deliciously cushioned... I’m mostly naked, wearing only a red and black bra and black lace panties... I’m waiting for him... the man who wants to ravish me... oh, he’s tried before... but, somehow, despite my own runaway desires, I’ve denied him... why?... I don’t know if he can really live up to all of his carnal promises... yet, here I am... he’s already bound my wrists to the bed posts with satin ribbon... I’m spread-eagled... the room is filled with a seductive rose-musk fragrance that heightens my desire to a clawing ache... the lighting is crystalline and bright, but not glaring... he claims he wants to see every inch of me... I just want him to take me... to do what he’s promised... yes, yes, oh god... I hear his footsteps... my heartbeat quickens like a frightened rabbit... my lungs can’t contain my breathing... my sex swelters and my clit acts like a wanton... I catch a glimpse of him... he’s mostly naked... my gaze feasts on his tanned, oh-so masculine chest... on his beautifully sculpted legs... this mysterious man who pursued me, he has the eye-candy legs of a champion swimmer... I can’t look at his face, or his eyes... but, I do see the dark lock that has fallen on his forehead... it makes him look like a rogue with wicked intentions... oh, god... I close my eyes... waiting...~~~~~~

Once you create an account, you can see the links where your books are uploaded.Do not talk to those people or you will give yourself away and then they'll delete your account and block your IP.

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 658 ~Sylva watched Zeke’s dad approach them, obviously with his wife, Zeke’s mother. Her smile looked heartfelt and her eyes sparkled with such intensity Sylva was nearly taken aback. The intelligence she witnessed put Sylva at ease as much as her friendly manner. “Sylva, welcome. If you aren’t the perfect match for my son. Ginger is my handle.” Taking her hand, Zeke’s mother pressed it warmly between her own, and in a way that let Sylva know she was truly wanted here. She’d rarely known that feeling of being wanted. Now, a sweet flush traveled through her body, and Sylva smiled.Zeke glowed like the sun inside as he pivoted to watch his Sylva and his mother together. He’d known his mom would welcome his bride, no matter who he had chosen. However, it warmed his soul seeing how fond she already was of his Sylva. Though, truth to tell, it wasn’t entirely surprisin’, given his mother was a crack shot at knowing an individual’s true nature. Sylva let down her guard, smiling. Her pure radiance astounded Zeke. He captured the moments, knowing all he had to do was stay in the moment, and not get too far ahead of himself.~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 657 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Oh, most precious Kittens, watch your backsides!!! The administration is ‘refusing’ to stop the mortgage fraud currently being perpetrated by the BIG BANKS... meaning their criminal activity is just a-okay. THEY have a get-out-jail-free card. Also, congress is planning to make all of their criminal *fraud* retro-actively legal. Folks who have title and have paid for their house are having them foreclosed on, and sometimes taken, despite going to court. This means, if anyone decides they want your house, your home, they will essentially be ‘free’ to STEAL it right out from underneath you... as is happening now. Just last month about a 100,000 fraudulent documents were submitted to the courts by banks for foreclosure. If you want to remain in your house/home, do everything you can to keep it, no matter what. Remember, fraud negates consent. The administration and the congress have definitely gone to the DARK SIDE. And, *they* do not care about you!!!~~~~~~

May your most romantic dreams come true...Secret cravings’ kisses from the Kougar...
Evening purrs, my sexy-witch Big Cats... warm on the tame prairie after a chilly night... it is Fall-beautiful... not so much the leaves, but just the way the land looks, more golden and resting... when the Kougaress journeyed down to her mailbox, she noticed the neighbor’s new half-gown calves, who were lazing about serenely... there were several different breeds and one of them looked like a longhorn because of the adorable horns and the shape of his body as well as his coat coloring.Today, since the Kougar’s witch heroine is nicknamed, Kandy Apple, she became curious about the origins of the Candy Apple, the ones that are coated with red cinnamon candy... although, she loves Caramel Apples as well. Here’s some info: According to the Newark Evening News 1964:William W. Kolb invented the red candy apple. Kolb, a veteran Newark candy-maker, produced his first batch of candied apples in 1908. While experimenting in his candy shop with red cinnamon candy for the Christmas trade, he dipped some apples into the mixture and put them in the windows for display. He sold the whole first batch for 5 cents each and later sold thousands yearly. Soon candied apples were being sold along the Jersey Shore, at the circus and in candy shops across the country, according to the Newark News in 1948.~~~
Since artificial flavoring is used in Red Hot candies, moi went in search of natural ingredients for making the candy coating. It finally dawned on her after finding a recipe that uses Cinnamon oil, the food grade oil found at pharmacies, that was her answer all along. She’d simply forgotten about it. Cinnamon oil is hot, whereas the powder is not as hot, not like ginger powder is hot.As a grade school kid/cub, moi occasionally got to taste cinnamon oil on a toothpick... it was good! Yeah, way back when, there was some really good stuff that, now, is considered addicting. Kids were discouraged from using the oil after awhile... why? Yes, some kids probably used it too much. But, there was no addiction this big cub saw.Heck, essential oil of cinnamon is in Thieves, an essential oil blend that kept folks protected during the Black Plague. The blend [cloves, cinnamon, lemon, eucalyptus, rosemary] from Young Living is very potent and you can certainly taste the cinnamon. At times, this Big Cat has put a couple of drops in her large bowl of hot chocolate... oh, does it taste yummier!!!~~~
To be fair about the recent NY UFOs [in case it isn’t Project Bluebeam], here’s the other side...From Coast to Coast am... UFO PREDICTIONDate: 10-15-10Host: George NooryGuests: Stan FulhamIn the first hour, ex-NORAD officer Stan Fulham talked about his prediction that a fleet of UFOs would hover over the Earth's major cities on October 13th. Fulham explained that he receives his insight from a "transcended spiritual group," which consists of "very old souls who have lived on many different planets and spiritual realms." According to him, the UFO visitation is because the Earth's environment has been polluted beyond the point of human salvation and, thus, the ETs must intervene to fix the situation. Unlike other planets, where the inhabitants were allowed to pollute their environment to the point of mass extinction, the Earth has the "greatest emotionally energy of any planet" in the universe and, therefore, was granted this special aid from off-world forces.Fulham clarified his prediction's timetable with new information that he allegedly received three weeks ago. Originally, the entities planned to appear over a plethora of major Earth cities on October 13th, 2010. They had no intention of landing or communicating with the planet, instead opting merely to make their presence known in gradually increasing appearances. This would culminate with an outright address at the United Nations in 2014 and then they would commence cleaning the environment in 2015. However, Fulham said, the ETs grew wary of causing mass panic with their original 10/13/10 plan and decided to just appear over New York City on that date. The reasons given for the choice of NYC was that it is an international city, a media stronghold, and that New Yorkers are "a blase people" who would be nonplussed by the appearance of a UFO in the sky.~~~
MORE BEYOND-STRANGE UFO HAPPENINGS ~ Qinling China! Has a UFO caused a whole town to disappear?Thursday, 14 October 2010 13:50 | Written by UfosleuthThere is a an ancient Pyramind in the Quinling region. Reports are coming out of China that an entire village/town may have disappeared after an UFO event there in the last few days. It is also being suggested that the Chinese Military has sealed off the area. Incredible as it seems the reports themselves appear genuine enough - but they are written in very broken English or Chinese and difficult to understand. Do they mean destroyed? Do they mean 'disappeared'? Just what is happening at Qinling?Some of the blog posts and message board posts contain expressions which when translated read "I have heard, yesterday at 4 am, a village in the Qinling Mountains at the end, all disappeared overnight! ... ... There are a large number of troops sealed off the scene ... ...""October 10th at ten o’clock, Xianyang many people, and they saw in the sky several unknown luminous body in constant rotation, but can not find the light source, and everyone felt very strange.Xianyang reporters into the sky to see the two circular rotating in constant light, white light has been given, and everyone said that this phenomenon has been going on for a very long time."~ planet-flipside.com/index.php/ufosalienslink/91-quinling ~~~~

Featured at SHAPESHIFTER SEDUCTIONS ~Short week and New Storyby SolaraI'm going to be brief. It's late on Friday night as I write this.

Looking forward to taking another class with this person in two weeks. Here's the opening on a new story I'm scribbling on the side. Working title is Wings of The Heart.~~~

The expedition’s members claim that the forest fires of this extremely hot summer made Altai yetis move to the Kuzbass region, where they have started a “war” with local bears.More ~ english.ruvr.ru/2010/10/11/25362914.html ~~~~~~~
Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues...Part 657 ~Sylva thoroughly brushed her hair and did what styling she could. Surprisingly, she didn’t look half bad, even with the lack makeup. There was a bloom on her cheeks, despite everything she’d been through. She even smiled at herself. Something she done less and less of in Chicago because of the bad times. Figuring it was time, Sylva straightened her shoulders and headed out the door. Zeke waited. A picture of cowboy handsome goodness, he leaned against the archway, and lazily smiled the moment she appeared. His whiskey-colored eyes glittered. Shoving off, he offered his arm with a gallant flourish.Zeke knew the impact of his woman would be big as the prairie sky. Still, he hadn’t been prepared for the way his heart thundered a beat, for the way he lunged like a stallion inside. She smiled in answer to his smile. The confidence he witnessed in her gaze made him proud of her, and glad down to his soul she’d grown through their strange adventures together. “Darlin’ mine,” he crowed like a rooster and purred like a tomcat, as she looped her arm around his. “Cowboy mine.” Her soft voice sang and sparkled for him. Just for him.~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 656 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!

Now ~ FIRST! just for the big cool cats ~ from the Flash Cat...Happy Courtship on another EarthX-Serial Flash in Two Hundred ~ Sylva and Zeke’s story continues... Part 656 ~ Sylva held up the pale lavender skirt made out of a supple thin suede. It would probably hit just below her knees. The matching lace-up-the front top had adorable cap sleeves. Smiling with eagerness, she eased off her garments quickly. Spying the ion unit inside the lounge, she stepped in as she and Zeke had done before, cleansing herself. Certainly that way of cleaning was handy dandy in a pinch. Since she could tighten the suede lacings herself, Sylva dressed herself, then tried on the fringe moccasins, a beautiful buttercream color. Shaking her hair, she then looked for a brush. Zeke wrapped his mother in a big bear hug. They held onto each other for long moments. When they leaned back, they simply gazed at each other. Zeke always dived into the love that was his mother’s eyes. Tenderly, she touched his cheek, her fingers lingering. “Well, son o’ mine, looks like you went and got yourself one beautiful and very special bride.” Stroking her fingertips from him, she smiled. “I can see you’re already lassoed just like a husband should be. And I’ll be givin’ her tips on how to keep your heart roped tight as a bull calf.” ~~~~~~TO BE CONTINUED...~~~~~~Part 1 - 15 ~ see blog ~ January 15th Cometh, then Part 15... and before...Part 16 ~ 655 ~ see the Kougar’s prior bloggies... or the Passionate Ink forum, the FREE READS page ~ passionateink.org/forum ~ OR!
