I made plans and God laughed and laughed and laughed. Our plan was to leave Scotia ( by the Avenue of the Giants) and drive up the coast to Brookings, Oregon. Stopping off at attractions along the way. ERG! This time I was paying more attention to the signs and was quicker to Google attractions to see if we should stop. The first place that popped up was The Humbolt Botanical Gardens. The website looked AMAZING. We took the exit and parked the RV at the college next door. We detached the Honda Element we are towing, and all piled in. Hubby turned the key and… click click click. Dead battery. WHAT??? But it was running this morning! Something about how we are flat towing it drained the battery. ERG! So we hooked it back up to the RV and made our way up the coast 10 minutes to an O’Reilly auto parts store. We were barely out of the car, when a gentleman that worked there was asking if we needed help. He checked our battery to be sure it was okay and charged it up at no cost. SPIFFY!!! We bought a battery charger from him so we could figure out what was going on later. From there hubby and the baby bassets were driving in the RV, and I followed behind in the Honda Element to make sure the car ran okay. As disappointing at it was with the battery dying, and not being able to see the Humbolt Botanical Gardens, things worked out well for us. We were able to get on the road and make our way to Brookings.

JUST BECAUSE HER HUSBAND’S NAKED, DEAD, AND IN A HOTEL BED…
… it might not be what it seems. But there’s that scarf in his mouth. Of course it is.
Given the situation, Kiki Lowenstein can’t help remembering that her (late) husband got her pregnant while cheating on his girlfriend.
True, he did the right thing at the time, and their much-loved daughter Anya is now eleven years old. But suddenly he’s dead, and Kiki’s financially embarrassed — that jerk disinherited his own family!
Time for the timid to toughen up. Passive Kiki transforms herself into a fighter, walking right out of her luxurious life and into a scrapbooking store, where she deftly turns a hobby into a moneymaker. Her new gig goes slightly awry when her late husband’s not-so-ex-girlfriend insults her in public, but that’s just the beginning. The hurts keep piling up. How much can one woman stand?
As her husband’s secret life explodes before her eyes, Kiki discovers that their daughter has a shocking secret of her own. Then the cops come for Kiki. And Family Services comes for Anya. No more Mrs. Nice Guy. Kiki has to fight for all she holds dear, and her quest must start with tracking down her late husband’s killer. Hope arrives for Kiki in the twin forms of a hot, homicide detective and her own newfound ability to cope.
