Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

October 5, 2018 · by John W. Howell · in TGIF · 62 Comments

“I wonder if these are clean or dirty.”

Friday is here and it seems like it came around pretty fast. At least that is my opinion. This week was pretty normal. Not much going on except doing the editing on the WIP.

One exciting thing is Gwen Plano and I will be guests on the Rave Reviews Book Club, Rave Waves Blog Talk Radio show titled Behind the Pen with host Beem Weeks. The show is Saturday, October 6th at 12:00 Central time. We will be talking about The Contract. Here is the link in case you want to tune in. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ravereviewsbookclub

Today’s JohnKu talks about a normal week. Have a great weekend.

Days pass without note,

Excitement is not present . . .

Cherish the boredom.

Good to see the pre-wash setting works on your dishwasher, too, John.

Oh, gosh, dear John! Twiggy will be a great house-wife! Does she know to use i-pad and TV remote control?

    🙂 Sure, she needs to practise hard. And to study a Big Cooking Book. I believe that she will enjoy it.

Hey – did Twiggy just invent the new ‘quick ‘n’ east dog wash system’?
Congrats on the show tomorrow!!

Congratulations on the interview! Is Twiggy washing dishes again or is she ready for a bath? Happy Friday!

Cherish the boredom for sure! Enjoy the interview – good job. Twiggy is no dummy; I’m sure those are NOT clean dishes or she wouldn’t have bothered to jump in, ready to help out. 🙂

How exciting that you guys will be on Behind The Pen tomorrow! I am going to do my best to listen live, but normally have to meet with my magazine editor around noon on the first Saturday of the month. Maybe he will be running late tomorrow. If I don’t listen live, I will definitely catch the replay. Love the photo. Twiggy is obviously trying to help!
