I can’t believe how nervous I feel today. I feel like I am being caught in some sort of lie, but I am telling the truth! I told my youngest basset that we were taking two of the chickens that we raised from our friends house (who turned out to be roosters) and giving them to another friend who wanted a few roosters. My son keeps looking at me suspiciously. I don’t get it! I thought he believed everything I told him, I’M HIS MOTHER! I’m just grateful that he will being going with me the entire trip, just so he can be reassured that his mother is as perfect and wonderful as he has always thought she was.

Sonoran Dreams: Three Short Stories from Exile
Robb Grindstaff
Genre: Contemporary Fiction | Short Stories
FREE for a limited time
The Sonoran Desert in the American Southwest is a place of extremes and contrasts, of beauty and death, of independent spirits and lost souls, of fresh starts and exiles.
Three short stories, three different genres, all set in the Sonoran Desert, each with characters in exile of one form or another. One author with a unique perspective and voice.
Cordelia lives alone in a shack miles from civilization, somewhere no one can find her except for a very determined suitor. Raymond shows up every twelve years to consummate his marriage to the bride he’d claimed at her birth. Every twelve years, Cordelia fends off his unwanted advances, by killing him. The smell of death precedes his arrival each time, unless the sweet scent of a freshly fallen ‘DESERT RAIN’ masks his approach.
Denny has lost everything in the recession. His business. His Scottsdale home on the side of a mountain with swimming pool and four-car garage. His ambition. His wife. With nothing left to lose but an injured foot, his sanity, or his life, he heads out on a hundred-mile ‘DESERT WALK’ to find Hope.
When the sun goes down and the scorching heat cools to an uncomfortable swelter, bored teenagers gather to spend the ‘DESERT NIGHTS’ out by the power lines, drinking beer, hooking up, arguing over the best rock bands of all time. Maybe shoot at some rattlesnakes and jackrabbits. Nothing could possibly go wrong here.

P.H.C. Marchesi

Who would want to have tea with mushrooms, when it’s a hundred degrees and humid out? As Shelby and Shauna Kitt find out, quite a few people. These are, of course, people from Miriax, a planet in a different dimension where nothing and no one is anything like what the thirteen year-old brother and sister twins expect. On Miriax, lilac tea is served with explosive mushrooms, agitex leaves cure motion sickness, stick insects patrol the jungle, and library books carefully choose their readers, refusing to leave the shelf for anyone else. And, if you’re not careful, the walls spit on you.
Shelby and Shauna’s lives change drastically when planet Miriax recruits them to seal a dimensional hole that allows Klodians, nasty aliens, to travel to Earth. In order to succeed in their mission, Shelby and Shauna discover skills they never thought they possessed, make friends they never expected to have, and face enemies they never imagined existed.

The Staycation Jar: 200 Family Fun Ideas For Creative Meals, Main Events, Silliness, Love Projects
Erica McNeal
Genre: Travel | Parenting & Relationships
FREE for a limited time
The Staycation Jar was inspired by our six year old daughter who asked us to help her raise money for families with sick children. The storyline and all ideas come directly from our recent Family Staycation where we filled our days with creative meals, main events, silliness, and love projects. All proceeds will go directly to Faith Like A Child, Inc.
I don’t know about your family, but we often have a difficult time planning a vacation. Don’t get me wrong I could organize an insanely awesome vacation on the cheap, in about three hours from top to bottom. This vacation would be filled with energizing experiences, down time, new activities, and awesome deals for our family to enjoy every day, complete with an excel spreadsheet. I’d already have the hotel picked out, airplane tickets purchased, and even a couple of freebies here and there. Yes, I am that person.
My closest friends know this falls into the “Research Queen” category of my life. Now, I would prefer to be a Queen of something way cooler, as “research” just sounds nerdy and un-cool… but I digress. However, if I am being completely honest, researching truly energizes me as I watch blank pieces of paper come to life, and plans come together.
While it isn’t for lack of trying, our family has a very difficult time predicting our ability to travel far enough in advance, where we are not slapped with last minute airfare prices, hotel spikes, or only being able to find hotels that are a bit sketch. Being a military family, with one of us literally defined by the medical community as “medically complicated” (that would be me), it is very easy for us to lose a lot of our flexibility in a very short amount of time.
In the past, my husband Todd and I have looked into and dreamed of timeshares, even sitting through presentations on a few occasions. The invitation to swim with dolphins, eat free chips and salsa, and all-you-can-eat ice cream (not together my friends) were definitely tempting. These events caused us to linger around, sometimes longer than the one hour-presentation we were anticipating, cutting into our current vacation time. However, again, due to our lack of flexibility and ability to pre-plan, timeshares are not for us at this time in our lives.
We also bought into the Buy One Vacation Get Three Free deals, only to find after we paid for them, they were not as flexible as advertised (or as we understood, perhaps there could be a very fine line between the two). We found there were so many limitations and restrictions, that after the three years expiration date hit, we could not find the time to utilize even one of these experiences.
This has been an on-going problem for our family for most of the nine plus years my husband and I have been married. But, we finally found a solution, one that actually is cheaper, and in our experience, was more enjoyable than some of the really nice vacations we have taken in the past. No hotels. No airplanes. No jet lag. Less stress. More spontaneity. No keeping two young children occupied for twelve plus hours of travel, while giving your spouse the death look that says, “We are NEVER doing this again!”
