This is a double hibiscus growing less than a block, in Santa Maria, California, from the previously posted ones.
This ‘n’ That Poetry
Expecting proof copies next week on new poetry book with co-author Shirley Radcliff Bruton.
Yellow Hibiscus
I took this picture of yellow Hibiscus just because I thought it was unusual and beautiful. It’s the state flower of Hawaii and it’s also on the endangered list.
I thought it might make a good cover for a poetry book, but I bet the cover artist won’t think so. She always has something better than I could have imagine.
Tech Guy on YouTube
I’ve been trying to change the footers on all my sites, for some time. I managed to put what I wanted on the footer, but I was having problems with having them link where I wanted. This is something that was very easy to me a couple of years ago, but something changed in the code.
Well, I watched this Tech Guy on YouTube. It was so easy to achieve what I wanted after I watched his tutorial.
I linked his YouTube home site above in green.

Next Book Projects
I’m working on three projects at the same time. I think it will be easier to do several books at once since they are all fairly far along in the process. Also, I tend to forget how to do something if it’s been a long time since I’ve done it.
I still have the following to do:
Working with cover artist on new design or finalizing a design
Final arrangement of the interior
Ordering proof copies
Getting several editors to review book
When all of the above has been completed, then I will:
Put the books on Amazon and Kindle
The upcoming books are This ‘n’ That Poetry, Meow Poetry and a book on blogging ideas which I haven’t decided on a name for it, yet.
Vacation
I just got back from a much-needed vacation.
I visited my sister and her family and then I flew down to John Wayne airport, rented a car and headed for a hotel near Disneyland.
My dear writer and artist friend, CB Taylor (Mousewords) met me there and we spent the next three days enjoying Disneyland, visiting another friend, Jim Leonard, and travelling home via the train.
