Cliff's Journals and A Horse Called Hummer

I noticed that Jim hasn't been adding to his blog lately, so I'll bring you up to date. We've been getting positive feedback on both Cliff's Journals and A Horse Called Hummer. Jim was recently interviewed on the KIT morning radio show, spoke at a Yakima writer's group, and had a story about his books published in the Selah paper. He's now starting to work on a second novel.
He also stays busy working in his vegetable garden, and we're now starting to enjoy the fruits (vegetables) of his labor. His first tomato was picked yesterday, and he's managed to bring in a few zucchini before they've grown too big to carry. The same can't be said for his turnips, however, as we've had a couple approximately the size of bowling balls. Fortunately, Keith and Marie Forney, along with their son Wes, paid us a visit last week and were coerced into taking a few home to Wenatchee. Marie even claimed she was happy to do so. She is a true friend, and we enjoyed spending time with them.
